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.

Why does the flu cause emesis?
Flu viruses attack and attach to cells in mucous tissue. This is most often the tissues of the nose, mouth, and eyes where the virus is most often introduced to the body, but it can also include the mucous tissue of the GI tract as well. This can cause nausea and vomiting. Another reason is that the post nasal drip and sputum from the flu that might get swallowed also can cause acid indigestion and vomiting. Some people get it from a gag reflex from thick mucus drainage in their throats or from coughing so hard their abdominal muscles and diaphragm get confused and try to help by triggering vomiting. It doesn't happen in all people or with all types of flu viruses, but some flu viruses, such as the swine flu virus, are known to cause this symptom more than other types of flu.
