If you have influenza caused by the influenza viruses (affects the respiratory system), then you might have vomiting and diarrhea but they are not typical symptoms of influenza. It was a common symptom in some people who had the 2009 pandemic Swine Flu H1N1. But it usually is not common with most influenza viruses. It can occur due to a related problem such as dehydration, but not usually directly due to the virus in most bouts of the respiratory flu.
If you are talking about the "stomach flu", which is really not the flu and is just called that by tradition, then it would involve diarrhea but may or may not have associated nausea or vomiting. All three, nausea, diarrhea, and vomiting are the most common symptoms of gastroenteritis.
Stomach flu is not a real medical diagnosis, though. We now know that this problem with vomiting and diarrhea and mild flu symptoms of mild fever, fatigue, aches and pains that we have called stomach flu, is actually gastroenteritis (inflammation of the stomach and intestines) and can be caused by bacteria or viruses. The most common cause of gastroenteritis in the US is the Norovirus. This is known also as the Norwalk Flu.

nausea, with or without vomiting, is a common symptom of flu
Viruses can cause both vomiting and diarrhea. The "Norwalk Flu" is a name given to what is also commonly called "Stomach Flu", which is gastroenteritis caused by viruses. With it you can get nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea as well as a fever and aches. Many other viruses also can cause these symptoms such as the flu viruses. However, usually there are also obvious respiratory symptoms with influenza that are more severe and last longer than the GI system signs and symptoms.
Some people do, but not all. Some people also can have vomiting and diarrhea with the H1N1/09 flu, but it is less common than most other symptoms of the flu.
The stomach flu will cause people to vomit and have diarrhea at the same time. I had the poopy fluid coming out of my butt and the mushed up food coming out of my mouth at the same time when I had the stomach flu.
The flu is typically accompanied by fever, severe aches and pains, weakness, headache, sore throat, and dry cough. Actual flu does not have gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea.
It's probably just the stomach flu.
