You can catch if from other people when it's in the contagious stage, but for most of the sickness it isn't contagious. I've had it twice, and it sucks.

What is stomach flu? \nStomach flu is a viral infection that affects the stomach and small intestine.  It is also called viral gastroenteritis.  The illness is usually brief, lasting 1 to 3 days. \nHow does it occur? \nGastroenteritis is caused by swallowing certain viruses.  The body fluids of infected people contain the virus, sometimes even before their symptoms begin.  The virus can be spread by direct contact with an infected person (for example, kissing or shaking hands) or by sharing food, drink, or eating utensils. \n\nThe virus enters the stomach and intestine and inflames the lining of these organs.  As a result, the stomach and intestine are temporarily unable to perform their usual functions.  The virus can also cause food to move more rapidly through your gastrointestinal (GI) tract. \n\nSome bacteria and other tiny organisms called protozoa can cause infections that have symptoms similar to those of stomach flu. \n\nWhat are the symptoms? \nWhen you have stomach flu, you may have one or more of the following symptoms: \n\n• fatigue \n• chills \n• loss of appetite \n• nausea \n• vomiting \n• stomach cramps \n• diarrhea \n• low-grade fever \n• muscle aches.\nThe illness may develop over a period of hours, or it may suddenly start with stomach cramps, vomiting, or diarrhea. \nHow is it diagnosed? \nYour health care provider will review your symptoms.  He or she may examine you and order lab tests to rule out more serious illnesses, such as appendicitis, and to detect complications, such as dehydration. \n\nHow is it treated? \nThe most important thing to do is to rest the stomach and intestines.  You can do this by first eating nothing and drinking only clear liquids.  A little later you can eat soft bland foods that are easy to digest. \n\nDuring the vomiting phase of the illness it is best to have only small, frequent sips of liquids. \nDrinking too much at once, even an ounce or two, may cause more vomiting. \n\nYour choice of liquids is important.  If water is the only liquid you can drink without vomiting, that is okay.  However, if you have been vomiting frequently for a long time, you must replace the minerals, sodium and potassium, that are lost when you vomit.  Ask your health care provider what sport drinks or medical products could help you replace these minerals. \n\nOther clear liquids you can drink are weak tea and apple juice.  You may also drink soft drinks without caffeine (such as 7 UP) after letting them lose some of their carbonation (go flat).  Chilling the liquids may help you keep them down.  Avoid liquids that are acidic (such as orange juice) or caffeinated (such as coffee) or have a lot of carbonation.  Do not drink milk until you no longer have diarrhea. \n\nYou may start eating soft bland foods when you have not vomited for several hours and are able to drink clear liquids without further upset.  Soda crackers, toast, noodles, applesauce, and bananas are good first choices.  Avoid foods that are acidic, spicy, fatty, or fibrous (meats, coarse grains, vegetables) and dairy products.  You may start eating these foods again in 3 days or so, when all signs of illness have passed. \n\nSometimes treatment includes prescription medicine to prevent nausea and vomiting or diarrhea.  Nonprescription medicine is available for the treatment of diarrhea and is very effective.  If you use it, make sure you use the dose recommended on the package.  Before you use any medicine \nfor diarrhea, always check with your health care provider first. \n\nIf you have been vomiting for more than a day or have had diarrhea for over 3 days, call your health care provider.  You may need to have a physical exam to rule out more serious problems and to check for dehydration.  You may also need to have lab tests to determine whether bacteria or protozoa are causing your illness. \n\nDehydration is a potentially serious complication of stomach flu.  It can occur if your body loses too much fluid because

Like mentioned before, it could be a side effect from a cold medication or it could that your friend has the stomach flu.

c-diff is serious and I am not sure how a person has this for 7 months and is still living.  If this is the true diagnosis then the intestines would be pretty well inflamed, to say the least.  \n\nAre you a nursing student looking for help with a care plan?

I had it over New Years and it turned into walking pnemonia. \n\nMost of my family is either ill with it or has had it already. \n\nBad, bad strain.\n\nHope all is well with you.

It is most likely a gastro-intestinal virus, could be the flu.  Most likely not food poisoning.  True Food poisoning is hits pretty fast and is relentless, it doesn't hit and then suddenly you feel better.  Constant doubled over painful, cramping.  Most Intestinal bugs last 24-72 hours.  Try to stay hydrated and see the doctor if it lasts more than 72 hours.

Probably is still getting over the flu. Sounds like she had it and probably her stomach acid is more active now that shes feeling better and eating. many awful things we can get. Just watch that shes eating well and try not to over do it. Of course plenty of liquids.

I used to have it a lot.  I washed my hands ALL the time and took like 3 or 4 baths a day.  Couldn't eat anything that I didn't feel was clean enough, ended up crying all the time because I thought I was going to die of some weird sickness...had it for a long time but never took any medication for it.  Eventually it went away on its own.

Diarrhea for sure because something is always coming out of that end everyday anyway. When you throw up it hurts your throat and you just feel horrible. I think the nausea is worse then a stomache anyway:(

By "stomach virus" I think you are referring to the virus that causes the "stomach flu," or viral gastroenteritis.  This is a very common viral infection that leads to nausea, vomiting and diarrhea.  Fortunately, viral gastroenteritis is a self-limited illness meaning that it will get better on its own usually within 24-48 hours in an adult.  There is nothing that we can do now that will help your body to clear the infection sooner.  The important thing is to maintain adequate hydration in order to prevent dehydration.  Drink plenty of fluids; Gatorade or Powerade are good rehydration agents.  Again, this isn't to "flush out the germs" so much as it is to replace all the fluid that is lost from the vomiting and diarrhea.  In some cases, the vomiting and diarrhea can be so severe that you may need to see a doctor for intravenous fluids.  If you become light-headed when you stand and your urine output is significantly decreased, it is probably worthwhile to go to the ER.  Some recent evidence has suggested that probiotics like Lactobacillus can reduce the frequency and duration of diarrhea in kids by 50% or more, but this isn't as well studied in adults.

I don't see why not.  They would be two different viruses.  I believe I've had more than one at a time, and I know my daughter has.
