Viral infections, if this in fact was influenza or flu-like syndrome are systemic (involving the entire body) and the immune responses combined with the damages done by the virus may produce these changes.

Infectious "gastroenteritis" is just that "gastro"= VOMITING "enteritis"- diarrhea ..You have the latter as a solitary symptom and this is usually termed "simple" diarrhea and is due to your dietary intake..Could you be eating unusual food (for you), ?.
