I had exactly the same 17 months ago.
In MY case it was a blood clot that caused my non-funtioning pancreas to receive no blood supply and resulted in necrosis of 2 metres of bowel, that had to be removed via a laparoptomy.
This could be ANYTHING, it could be a bug. I would recommend medical guidance to be safe.
I was slow to react act first, but I was sick immediately as my body knew nothing would be processed via standard procedure as my bowel was blocked and just rejected ANYTHING.
I'm not qualifies to make any assumptions or diagnostics, this is purely my OWN experience. I had recurring symptoms recently and am worried it might be history repeating itself. I have an anti-coagulant appointment at 0935 tomorrow morning, where I will see what my blod clotting levels are like and will no doubt be re-dosed as I am every week.
Good luck for hubby, you don't have to listen to me, but better safe than sorry. Err on the side of caution.
Best wishes
Mart.
