Hello
Welcome to health care magic, I share your concern.
Absenence of bowel movement with pain under rib cage and vomiting might be related to intestinal obstruction, cholecystitis, or Acid peptic disease.

I would advise you to take her to emergency room for an X Ray of abdomen in standing position, with blood investigation like CBC, Liver function test, serum lipase and amylase test or an ultrasound I'd need be.

Please follow these guidelines
keep her nil orallly, don't give her anything to eat or drink until you see a doctor.
If you can write back to me with following details, I will be able to tell you more accurately
her age, relevant medical history, is she diabetic or on any medication
waiting for your reply
Best wishes
