Could be: Main worry is are you getting dehydrated. You have to be taking sufficient fluids so that you don't get dehydrated.

Diarrhea: It may be affecting the lower part of your bowel. This can happen with infection or inflammation or even something you ate. Increase your fluid intake. Be seen if there is any blood or it continues. I don't think you can call it "stomach flu", you are right. All the best.
