Yes, it can sometimes happen with the seasonal flu, especially in kids or young adults. Please take complete rest and try to keep yourself hydrated with small sips of water.

It could be the flu, or it could be a foodborne infection. Because vomiting and diarrhea can drain your body very fast, please get a professional opinion from a doctor instead of guessing.

Our bodies go through phases to flush out toxins, and seasonal changes often bring such small trials. Stay positive, keep your mind calm, and let your body rest. Have some light rice water and take care.

I completely understand how stressful it is when your body starts acting up like this, I used to panic instantly. Yes, flu can sometimes cause stomach issues alongside fever. Try to take deep breaths and don't read too much online, just consult a GP.

I was actually reading about this yesterday because my roommate got sick. Turns out 'stomach flu' is different from regular respiratory flu, but both can cause bad nausea. Hope you feel better soon!

Ugh, this is the absolute worst because you can't even enjoy any comfort food! Yes, flu can totally mess up your stomach. Stick to plain double-boiled rice or light soup until your gut feels happy again.
