There is no "cure" for gastric flu or any other type of flu. Flu shots you get are preventative medicine, they do not cure you of anything.

With any flu, you want to drink plenty of liquids, you will have depleted electrolytes and Gatorade is good to help replenish them. But drink water as well.

You can treat the stomach flu by taking antibiotics and drinking plenty of clear liquids. It is important that you eat very lightly during this time to prevent from vomiting and suffering from nausea. You may also take drugs such as Tylenol (acetaminophen) and Motrin (ibuprofen) to prevent a fever or to bring a fever down.

Does an enema help a stomach virus?

An enema won't cure a stomach flu. It will just have to run its course. However, if you are feeling nausea, taking an enema will relieve it by allowing the stomach contents to flow more easily into the intestines and out through your rectum as massive diarrhea. Not too pleasant ... but far less distressing than vomiting repeatedly.
