Would it be unusual for a stomach bug with lots of vomiting but no diarrhea to cause metabolic acidosis?

Yes, it is unusual so food poisoning may not be the case.

Classically lots of vomiting causes loss of chloride & produces metabolic alkalosis, but there uncommonly have been cases where repeated vomiting combined with marked dehydration which causes such loss of bicarbonate that it results in metabolic acidosis.
