Those are symptoms of stomach flu, or gastroenteritis, for the viral infection it is called call "flu." But the "stomach flu" is not the flu. It is a gastrointestinal illness caused by a number of factors including bacteria, viruses and parasites. The flu, which causes fever, congestion, muscle aches, and fatigue, is caused by viruses only. Stomach flu actually refers to gastroenteritis or irritation and inflammation of the stomach and intestines Gastroenteritis may be caused by a virus, bacteria, parasites in spoiled food or unclean water, or another trigger such as lactose intolerance, which causes a reaction to dairy products.
