Hello,
It sounds like your wife has pancreatitis secondary to gall stones. It is common enough. The condition itself causes the nausea and vomiting. Her doctor is following the protocol as far as treating the pancreatitis is concerned. It involves giving IV fluids and holding back food till the vomiting stops.
The next step would be to address the cause i.e. the Gall stones. She would probably need to undergo a cholecystectomy (surgery to remove the gall bladder). I don't think you need to change your doctor at this point as your wife is improving. Your doctor will likely discuss the steps going forward soon.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
