Virus: Sounds like a viral gastroenteritis is going through your family. Most important now is to make sure you all stay well hydrated, stay on a bland, low lactose diet.

Stomach flu: You could have a milder case of gastroenteritis. It is usually caused by a virus and passes with time. Drink plenty of clear liquids like water, soda that is clear, or sports hydration drinks. Try bland foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast, gelatin, or chicken. Avoid alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, dairy & high fat foods. Rest.
