Yes: The combination of nausea and diarrhea is characteristic of a viral gastrointestinal tract infection or mild food poisoning. Both of these will resolve on their own after several days. Drink flat ginger ale, eat soft bland foods starting with broth, saltine crackers, toast. Keep hydrated with room temperature water. Your pharmacist can recommend antidiarrheal medication if needed. Call MD as neede

Yes, but....: Diarrhea and nausea are very nonspecific symptoms and go along with a long list of possible diagnoses. On the top of that list is definitely a viral "tummy bug", which will run its course in a week or two. But it could be other things as well - food intolerances, urinary tract infection, opiod withdrawl....- the list is ling and varied. If pain develops, blood in stool, bad vomiting, see doctor
