No, it doesn't. Not eating can actually increase your chance of getting it, because it weakens your immune system. Your body needs nutrition to stay strong and to fight off illnesses. Washing your hands frequently with soap and water is the best way to help prevent you getting the stomach flu, as well as any other illness, such as colds. and respiratory infections.
