Yes: Yes, after a stomach flu with vomiting you may have discomfort for a number of days. Avoid things that can irritate the stomach lining -coffee, alcohol, aspirin, NSAIDs (ibuprofen, naproxen, etc). Eat foods that are easy to digest -rice, bananas, applesauce; avoid all fats, as fats slow down the emptying of the stomach.
