I got food poisoning last summer. Here's my advice:
1. Drink as much as you can. Gatorade and juice are good b/c they compensate for the fact that you aren't keeping anything down. Make sure you are ALWAYS drinking.
2. Follow the BRAT diet: bread, rice, applesauce, toast. These foods are very mild on the system and will help you get back into normal eating habits.
3. Stay away from meds that your doctor didn't prescribe or recommend to you. Over the counter stomach medicines are not designed to deal with bacterial infections like you get from food poisoning and can actually make you worse rather than better.
Good luck!

P.S. If you get signs of dehydration and can't keep liquids down for more than 48 hours go back to the doctor and get an IV.
