Answers:
You're safe to see your friend. Food poisoning can also be disguised as the 48 hour virus, but it's not. You're safe to go around her. She is sick because she ate something bad not because she caught a virus. If her symptoms don't get better by the next day she needs to go to the doctor, because of the fever. Also if she has blood in her stool, she should go immediately because that can be a sign of worse problems. She may not vomit or have diarrhea, which explains the stomach cramping. If she's not vomiting or has runny stools then the poisoning is not severe. She was poisoned by the food, so its impossible for you to catch.
I hope your friend feels better soon!
