Hello,

Since she got her period as expected with negative pregnancy test results, pregnancy is unlikely.
Her symptoms could be due to viral gastroenteritis. It will subside by itself in a few days. Meanwhile, stay hydrated. Follow mild diet like banana, apple, rice and toast until diarrhea subsides. She can also take loperamide to control diarrhea if needed.

Hope this answers your question
Please let me know if you need further clarification
