Yes. In fact, it is more unusual if you have the flu and you ARE throwing up. You may be thinking of what some people call the "stomach flu", however, this is misnamed since influenza is a respiratory infection and not gastrointestinal. What people call the stomach flu should be called viral gastroenteritis to be correct. Viral gastroenteritis is a common cause of vomiting and diarrhea.

Why is your sim throwing up?

Your sim is either pregnant (if you have Sims 2) or is ill with the flu (usually you would get a pop-up telling you this). To stop them throwing up make sure they rest by lying down on the sofa or bed and are off their feet until a pop up appears saying 'Your sim is healthy again'. If your sim is pregnant it will stop when they get their bump. Hope that helped.
