Last night, my fiancee and I went to a chinese restaurant. I ordered a bowl of hot and sour soup. Neither of us knew that there was shrimp in the soup. My fiancee is highly allergic to seafood, and he took a bite. Immediately after, he began to have gas, and about an hour after taking the one bite, he started having severe diarrhea then vomiting. Now, the following morning, he has very bad joint pain. He hasnt eaten anything because anything he eats, he throws up. Last night, he even vomited blood with whatever else it was he ate. If someone has any idea of how to relieve his symtoms that would be great! Or also if anyone knows why he would be vomiting blood, that would be something good to know as well. Thank you.

Sounds like he contracted severe food poisoning along with his being allergic to seafood. Chinese and Japanese restaurants are notorious for food poisoning from eating anything with seafood in it.
An allergy would not cause him to have joint pain or bloody vomit.
Food poisoning would. The constant vomiting & diarrhea (gastroenteritis) would cause the bleeding. This is nothing to fool around with. He is probably becoming dehydrated from fluid loss and that can cause more serious problems.
He needs to be taken to an emergency room or ER clinic for treatment now so don't waste time waiting for answers to be posted here in YA.

::blink!:: Get your fiance to a hospital already! Unfortunately, the only sure-fire way to ease seafood reactions is to not eat seafood in the first place.

This has fear of commitment written all over it.
