What's the difference between the stomach flu and food poisoning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: They both are general terms to describe one of many infections, but basically stomach flu is a viral illness that lasts for a few days. Food poising is usually bacterial, more severe, and more dangerous.
