Brief Answer:
Acue gastroenteritis, needs symptomatic treatment
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Your symptoms look like a gastroenteritis and modifying diet for a while and replacing it with clear fluids and electrolytes is advised. Try BRAT diet like banana, rice, applesauce and toast. Try spiceless meals after you could tolerate any any till then all fluids and soft digestible fluids.
Take some antiemetics there are many like domperidone, metoclopramide etc and see if it helps.
You using pepto and XXXXXXX seltzer indicate that you have previous acid reflux problems and that itself can predispose to these vomiting episodes.
Cramping and diarrhea history may point to functional bowel too like IBS. Old age related bowel functions decline also give nausea frequently.
Just wait and see with diet lifestyle modifications for the next 48 hours and if symptoms persists even then, visit a gastroenterologist at your earliest convenience. If you feel lethargic or dehydrated or fatigued , you may go earlier too.
I hope hope it helps . Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
