Stomach Flu: 3 days of a "stomach flu" are not common. I suggest you consult a physician to get stool cultures - for bacteria/parasites, giardia and if you have taken antibioitcs in the last two months a check for c. Difficile. Don't be alarmed, though, because this sort of thing is very common and highly treatable if you have any of these. Usually they come from contaminated food/water (except the c. Diff).
