Dear Friend.
Welcome to HCM.
Yes, these can be the symptoms of food poisoning. And it can kick this fast.
Numbness associated can be due to electrolyte imbalance caused by loose motions.
Moreover, she had pasta, that is a frequent culprit.
I advise following in such conditions:
1. A combination of Antibiotic like Ofloxacin and Ornidazole
2. A drug for acidity like Pantoprazole
3. Oral Re hydration Solution.

You should consult a doctor immediately and discuss my opinion.
I hope this helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
Stay Healthy
