Not the flu : Influenza doesn't cause gastrointestinal symptoms in adults. Other viruses, tho, can cause gastroenteritis. It's possible you may have contracted a new viral infection. It's also possible your recent symptoms are due to some other medical condition. See your physician if your symptoms continue

Stomach Flu: This is a misnomer, it is not really the flu. It is caused by a virus, not influenza virus, or could be food poisoning. It is not unusual to be reinfected by another virus or bacterial toxin again. Keep yourself hydrated, rest, use OTC medications as needed, see a doctor for fevers, dehydration, bloody stools
