"stomach flu" usually refers to Gastroenteritis but it has nothing to do with influenza.

Yeah, I worded that a little wrong, I didn't mean to say influenza was ANY virus that makes you sick, it's obviously a group of viruses and not other types, like HIV etc.

And yeah, that's what I was trying to say, gastro is not related to influenza, though they are often confused.
