A member asked:
I threw up about 3 or 4 times one day ago, had diarrhea and black stool. are these symptoms of the flu? if so how long do they last ?

See a doctor: Tarry stools can be a sign of bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract."flu" is actually a respiratory illness with fevers, sneezing and cough". This sounds very different.

Black stool: Is worrisome for gastric source of bleeing, either ulcer or tumor or gastritis especially if you didn't take peptobismol. Get it checked out promptly. Unlikely due to flu.
