She was off work with a stomach ache after eating too many apples.

Hello, everyone.

Is the sentence below correct?

She was off work with a stomach ache after eating too many apples.

Especially, can we say 'with a stomach ache' with a meaning above? It sounds a little bit strange.

Yes, but not as strange as "She was sick in bed with the doctor".
