As far as over-the-counter, I'm not sure. Fluids (water)?
If you can, I would go to an urgent care or doc's office (if you can get in quick). They can give you a shot of phenergen (sp?) and it will take care of it (and help you sleep).
I've had food poisoning twice, both times I was throwing up every 10-15 minutes and then dry heaving. It was horrible.
Also, for future purposes, see if they will write you a script for phenergan in pill form for future/possible food poisioning. Save you a trip to the docs and money.

Its called gastroenteritis (wikipedia?). Gastroenteritis is characterized by periods of stomach pain, fever, dirrarhea, and/or vomitting. Although, it is a usually a viral infection, it can be bacterial. Viral infections cannot be treatment with common antibiotics, so it must run its course. Viruses tend to subside within 2-3 days. My personal experiences lead me to believe you will feel better by tomorrow. Drink ginger ale to help relieve the stomach acid and take an anti-inflammatory drug for the pain. Good luck man.
