What to do if you can't eat at all?

Ok, I hope this isn't a stupid question but I'm not too bright when it comes to these things. My abdominal pain has worsened over the last few days, to the point where today I'm still have D but am nauseus as well and can't seem to eat anything. I'm not even drinking as much as I should be because I start to feel as though I'm going to throw it up.

My question is, how long can a person go without eating and drinking only minimially before it can potentially become a problem? I have an appointment to see my primary doc on Wednesday and I'm going to demand an appointment with another GI since the one I have hasn't helped me at all and I'm clearly getting sicker.

I'm just scared because I don't want to get dehydrated or too weak from no food. I've been having bad boughts of dizziness as well. I tried to drink some unflavored pedialyte today (I figured it would be easier on the tummy than Gatorade) but I couldn't get it down.

Any advice?
Thanks,
Kelly
