There are a couple things that happen to you with the stomach flu. 1st thing is that influenza is a virus and cannot be cured, however there are steps that you can take to make it pass as quickly as possible.
1. A fever is common with any type of flu. Take Motrin or any kind of Ibuprofen for the fever. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) will work just as well (although can be harmful to the liver if not taken exactly according to label directions). This will also get rid of the aches and pain you might be feeling.
2. I wouldn't recommend taking any antacids, Pepto-Bismol or anything like that. Unfortunately, it will just make your case worse when it comes to digesting food.
3. Another problem is eating food and keeping it down. When you are eating, eat in spurts ex: a little now, a little later. Cramming food down your throat will only make matters worse and will be very messy if it decides to come back up. Chances are with the stomach flu, you wont be having much of an appetite anyway...
4. Diarrhea and Vomiting is common with the stomach flu. Its important to keep hydrated. Drinking sports drinks like Gatorade and Powerade, even vitamin water can help. They contain electrolytes and salts that your body loses. Drinking regular water can be just as fine.
5. Keep a bucket by your bed at night, this way if you have an accident, you can be as clean as possible.
6. TALK to your doctor! Sometimes, its not the stomach flu (if you haven't seen him/her already). It could be a bacterial infection in which case antibiotics will help.
lots and lots of rest. Do not eat solid food at first, as it may upset your stomach. drink Gatorade, water, or non-caffeine tea small bits at a time. When you feel well enough to eat, have starches like toast, a roll or a bagel with jam because they are best on your stomach. Do not eat anything with a lot of acids in it like orange juice or lemonade. Make sure you drink as much liquids as you possibly can (without it making you feel sick) because with an intestinal flu you lose a lot of water though diarrhea and vomiting. Do nothing exciting for about 2-4 days to recover. After that, move around but do not exert yourself until you feel strong and healthy again. The stomach flu is very contagious, so make sure not to come into contact with lot of people while you are recovering to avoid giving it to them.
Homeopathic remedy:
I would suggest taking Arsenicum Album 30 CH. It is a homeopathic, so you don't have to be afraid of side effects or overdose, but its very effective with this type of illness. You can get it as drops or as small granules (with sweet taste). Take 5 granules every hour if the condition is acute, or 5 granules three times a day if the condition is chronic (you can hardly find some universal dosing for this homeopathic, but as I mentioned before, you can't overdose). Make sure you take at least three doses to prevent diarrhea from returning. As for eating, I would suggest not to eat anything the first day and only dietary biscuits (crackers) and boiled potatoes with salt the next day (if your condition improves and you feel like eating).

Yes it can. If you have irritation of the nerve which controls the bladder you might indeed have trouble.

The flu shot only prevents respiratory influenza. It does not prevent the gastrointestinal "flu" virus that makes you have GI symptoms like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea without the cough and respiratory symptoms of influenza. The flu that makes you throw up is not really influenza, it is just an illness that is also caused by a virus or "bug" (called viral gastroenteritis).
True seasonal respiratory influenza, on the other hand, if bad enough (or if you are very young or over 65) is more likely to cause severe complications or even death. The stomach virus usually doesn't result in the same severity, as long as dehydration is controlled by drinking plenty of liquids (and perhaps an occasional sports drink to replenish electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and chloride).
The shots you get for seasonal influenza, and the flu vaccine to prevent the A-H1N1/09 "Swine Flu", are made for protection against respiratory influenza, not for the "stomach flu".
Fun facts: The intestinal flu is not really the flu. It has been incorrectly called that for a long time, but is actually called gastroenteritis and usually is caused by viral infections but might also be bacterial. Influenza (flu) is a respiratory disease that only rarely causes any gastrointestinal symptoms. A very common viral gastroenteritis is what most people call stomach flu, or they also call it Norwalk flu and is caused by a norovirus.
WikiPedia says:
"Norovirus (formerly Norwalk agent) is an RNA virus (taxonomic family Caliciviridae) that causes approximately 90% of epidemic nonbacterial outbreaks of gastroenteritis around the world, and may be responsible for 50% of all foodborne outbreaks of gastroenteritis in the US. Norovirus affects people of all ages. The viruses are transmitted by fecally contaminated food or water, by person-to-person contact,and via aerosolization of the virus and subsequent contamination of surfaces."

If it stays in the large intestine for too long your stool will become hard and you will find it hard to pass through. We call this constipation. And if it doesn't stay in the large intestine long enough the water in your stool won't have been absorbed into the body and you will have diarrhea

According to trends seen among people who have developed some level of urinary incontinence, stress and urge incontinence are the most common types. Apart from these people also are bound by functional incontinence or one due to neurological disorder. Some people also have faced a kind known as overflow incontinence. The best way to make life easy in such cases is by controlling intake of fluids and also using high quality incontinence products.

There are many reasons that can cause urine leakage in men. Some common medical conditions that cause it can be swollen prostate, weakened pelvic muscles or some kind of neurological disorder like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's.
Asked by Lilly Sotomayor
Treatment options for urinary incontinence varies depending on the severity of the problem as well as the underlying causes. Usually physical therapy and behavioral techniques are tried before more extreme invasive treatments are used.

Urinary incontinence, the spontaneous and uncontrolled loss of urine can have a serious negative impact on a woman's physical and psychological well- being. Approximately 50% of women will experience some form of urinary incontinence in their lifetime, as prevalence and age are positively correlated.

The primary and main symptom of urinary incontinence is the unintentional release (leakage) of urine, to know more about how and when this occur, we need to know in detail about the type of urinary incontinence.

Urge Incontinence is when urine escapes from the bladder. This happens because muscles are contracting improperly. It is the second highest form of incontinence.

External incontinence devices are products, called appliances, worn on the outside of the body to protect the skin from constant leakage of stool or urine. Certain medical conditions can cause a person to frequently lose control of their bowel or bladder.
Alternative NamesCondom catheter; Incontinence devices; Fecal collection devices
InformationAlthough there are several different products available, the general features of these products are described below.
FECAL INCONTINENCE DEVICES
Several devices are available for managing long-term diarrhea or fecal incontinence. These devices have a drainable pouch attached to an adhesive wafer. This wafer has a hole cut through the center that fits over the anal opening (rectum).
With proper application, a fecal incontinence device may remain in place for 24 hours. It is important to remove the pouch if any stool leakage has occurred. Liquid stool is very irritating to the skin.
If leakage has occurred, always clean the skin and apply a new pouch.
The device should be applied to clean, dry skin:
An enterostomal therapy nurse or skin care nurse can provide you with a list of products that are available in your area. (See also: Skin care and incontinence)
URINARY INCONTINENCE DEVICES
Urine collection devices are primarily used by men. (Women are generally treated with medication and disposable garments like Depends.)
The systems for men usually consist of a pouch or condom-like device that is securely placed around the penis. This is often called a condom catheter. A drainage tube is attached at the tip of the device to remove urine. The drainage tube empties into a storage bag, which can be emptied directly into the toilet.
Condom catheters are most effective when applied to a clean, dry penis. You may need to trim the hair around the pubic area so the device attatches better.
You must change the device at least every other day to protect the skin and prevent urinary tract infections. Make sure the condom device fits snugly but not too tightly. (If it's too tight, skin damage may occur.)

In general food spends about 4 hours in the stomach before being moved to the small intestine, where nutrients are removed. It takes around 8-12 hours for food to normally reach the large intestine where water is removed before the waste is expelled by you.

Incontinence usually refers to the inability to restrain discharges of urine. Milk of Magnesia definitely does not have any ingredient to help with that. You will need to see your doctor for a prescription medication for incontinence. If you are referring to incontinence in terms of being unable to restrain evacuation of feces - Milk of Magnesia will not help with that either. Milk of Magnesia contains magnesium hydroxide, which is meant to help with constipation and sometimes acid indigestion. The magnesium in Milk of Magnesia can actually cause diarrhea.

If you have the odd bout of diarrhea and constipation then it's probably a poor diet and not enough water. You should be eating bran, whole grains and lots of other fibers like leafy greens (brussel sprouts, broccoli, etc.) Also at least go for one half walk a day or evening or work out at a gym; ride a bike or go jogging with a friend. If you have bad bouts of diarrhea, feel lethargic, loss of appetite and have more diarrhea than being constipated discuss with your doctor that you would like to be tested for wheat gluten problems. The test is painless and relatively simple. They put a little freezing in your throat, put a small tube down with a camera on the end. The reason I ask you to do the above is my husband started off like you and eventually he had constant diarrhea that left him extremely dehydrated. He was tested for many things which all came back negative. He suddenly because so weak I admitted him into ER and the very last test was a wheat-gluten problem. Neither of us had ever heard of this, but we sure know about it now. It's called CELIAC DISEASE! This means no bran, rye, oats or wheat. Now that we know we have met so many people with this problem. My husband is now doing well and his diet is pretty much the same with the exception of any wheat-gluten products so bread has to be bought from Health Food Stores. He has no diarrhea and is regular in bowel movements once again. I am not trying to scare you, but if all else fails then please have your doctor get you in for that test for Celiac Disease (wheat-gluten.) I'd sure like to hear you are feeling much better.
