Although it's commonly called stomach flu, gastroenteritis isn't the same as influenza. Real flu (influenza) affects only your respiratory system - your nose, throat and lungs. Gastroenteritis, on the other hand, attacks your intestines, causing signs and symptoms, such as:
Watery, usually nonbloody diarrhea - bloody diarrhea usually means you have a different, more severe infection
Abdominal cramps and pain
Nausea, vomiting or both
Occasional muscle aches or headache
Low-grade fever
Depending on the cause, viral gastroenteritis symptoms may appear within one to three days after you're infected and can range from mild to severe. Symptoms usually last just a day or two, but occasionally they may persist as long as 10 days.
Because the symptoms are similar, it's easy to confuse viral diarrhea with diarrhea caused by bacteria, such as Clostridium difficile, salmonella and E. coli, or parasites, such as giardia.

Does chocolate Ex-Lax give you flu like symptoms?
If you are talking about the "stomach flu" symptoms, then a laxative like that one could give you similar symptoms of stomach cramps and diarrhea that the stomach flu ("Norwalk Flu") causes. However, it should not be causing respiratory symptoms of influenza like the seasonal flu or swine flu cause unless you are having an unusual or allergic reaction to it. If you have any trouble breathing after taking a new medication, you should seek immediate medical attention to be sure you are not having a severe allergic reaction that could be life-threatening.
Why does a flu virus cause vomiting?
It doesn't. The flu virus is a respiratory illness that typically causes fever, muscle aches and pain, extreme fatigue and coughing. Occasionally, children with the flu will have stomach symptoms such as nausea or diarrhoea, but these symptoms are uncommon in adults with the flu. The "stomach flu" is actually not the flu at all, but one of any number of bacterial or viral illnesses that affect the stomach and gastrointestinal tract. These illnesses are typically shorter in duration than the flu.
