A member asked:

Intense stomach pain, diarreah and nausea. no vomiting. can i have the stomach flu with no vomiting?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Stomach flu: This is an incredibly non-specific lay term that has very little meaning to a diagnostician. It is often used to allay patients concerns when a specific causative agent cannot be clearly identified. If you have GI symptoms which persist beyond 3-5 days you should see a doctor.
