Hello!

Thank you for the query.

Her symptoms can be caused by some infection of the gastrointestinal tract, acute pancreas inflammation or gallstones.
In case of infection, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and fever are quite characteristic symptoms.
Acute pancreatitis gives usually strong abdominal pain which radiates to the back, nausea and vomiting after any food. This condition can be caused by alcohol intake.
Gallstones usually give upper right abdominal pain which radiates to the back. Nausea and vomiting can be present.

Unfortunately this conditions needs to be ruled out and can not be treated at home. That is why I suggest your girlfriend to visit a doctor and have abdominal ultrasound, blood work, liver tests, pancreas tests, urine analysis.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
