Hello,
Your husband is suffering from food poisoning, gastroenteritis, indigestion, etc. It is commonly caused by eating processed and packaged food, food intolerance, stale food, food that are expired, food that are not properly cooked, canned or sealed. Food allergy, food intolerance, etc.
He is suggested to take antidiarrheal and anti emetics. He should stay at rest, till diarrhea and vomiting stops. He is advised to slowly start taking sips of water and thereafter increase water and fluid intake so that he is well hydrated. He should take tea and crackers, bland food like bananas and rice to help maintain blood pressure, blood sugar level and body electrolyte system.
To get rid of stomach pains he can take PPIs, one stat when needed. He can also take spasmol (spasmoproxyvon), one stat when required. He should get better within 24-36 hrs. Let him rest. In case the symptoms are persistent he should visit ER, he may need medical support.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Hi,
Abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea can be symptoms of several different conditions, including viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, inflammatory bowel disease, and other gastrointestinal disorders. In your husband's case, it is possible that the donut he ate was contaminated with harmful bacteria or viruses, which can cause food poisoning.
Other possible causes of these symptoms include:
* Gastroenteritis: This is an infection of the stomach and intestines caused by a virus, bacteria, or parasite. Abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, and fever are some of the symptoms.
* Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS): This is a chronic condition that affects the large intestine. This condition can lead to abdominal pain, diarrhea, and/or constipation.
* Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis: These are two types of inflammatory bowel disease that can cause abdominal pain, diarrhea, and other symptoms.
* Gallbladder disease: This can cause abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting, especially after eating fatty foods.
It is important to seek medical attention if your husband's symptoms persist or worsen, or if he experiences severe abdominal pain, dehydration, or other serious symptoms. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause of his symptoms and may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory medications, or other therapies. In the meantime, he should drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated and rest as much as possible.
