I had a tummy ache all day, felt like an alien trying to bust out of me, headache, everything hurt. I only threw up once and had no diahhrea. Anyone else had this? Was it the flu? I had a flu shot but I guess it didnt work.

It sounds to me like you have a bad case of bloating and gas. Sorry, but a stomach virus has nothing to do with the Flu. They are both caused by viruses, and different strains can cause different symptoms. But a true stomach virus is usually a day or two at best. The Flu is all over and can last for a couple of weeks. You probably have had contact with some of the viruses in the past, and that is why you have a light case. You body has built up an immunity against it. You should feel lucky. Last time I had one, I was sitting on the toilet and had a bucket in front of me. There was no control of either end. (Sorry for the graphics)

If you don't have aches in the rest of your body, a sore throat, AND a fever, you probably don't have the flu. There's lots of other diseases out there. The best way to find out what you have is to see a doctor. In the meantime, drink lots of fluids and rest.

There is no such thing as stomach flu. It could have been food poisoning.
