Stomach flu: This non-medical term is utilized to describe gastroenteritis which is commonly viral in etiology. You can be contagious from a few days up to two weeks or more, depending on which virus is causing the stomach flu. Some viruses that can cause gastroenteritis include noroviruses and rotaviruses, and even influenza and enteroviruses. The overwhelming odds are that you have what your family has.
