A. has the “stomach flu” that is going around campus and has been vomiting profusely for the past 24 hours. Not only has she been unable to keep down fluids or food, but she also has lost the acidic digestive juices secreted by the stomach that are normally reabsorbed back into the blood farther down the digestive tract.
