nausea relieved by food?

Question

My mom is 61 and had a light case of the stomach flu 3 weeks ago. She was nauseous for 4 days then felt OK. A week later, she felt nauseous again for a few days then it went away for 4 days. Now it's back. it seems like food relieves her. It occurs usually a few hours after a meal and when she starts getting hungry. She had 2 episodes of reflux ( one 2 months ago) and one very recently. Other then the nausea she feels fine ( no burning, no constipation, no blood in stools, no vomiting, no fatigue). The only thing I can add is that she received her usual hip shots (she suffers from arthritis ) 2 months ago and got very nauseous a few minutes later. The doc told her:" your stomach must be in bad shape". She is going to see a doc. next week. What could cause this? She has been under considerable stress. She also noticed that since she had this stomach flu, her tongue has been less pink .
She tested her stomach by eating spicy and hot and was fine.
Any insight would be appreciated.
