I just got over the stomach flu roughly two weeks ago, but am now experiencing what seems like the introductory phases of nausea again. What could be causing this? Is it possible to get the stomach flu twice in the same month?

There can be many reasons. Do you have a runny nose? The snot can be making you nauseous. Perhaps, you are taking medicine on an empty stomach? There are also other germs running around right now that you may have come into contact with (your immune system was already weakened from the flu and caught something else while it was down). The latest is a GI bug (vomit, diarrhea, temperature, etc). Also, look at what you are eating. Be careful to keep anything that can spoil safely in the fridge, wrap up any leftovers quickly, etc. If you are eating out, could it have been something that you ate was bad? Sometimes a quick analysis of daily life will give you a direction to go.
In any which way, get lots of rest and drink plenty of water or Gatorade-type stuff. Hope you feel better - You must feel horrible being sick again so soon. Healthy days are ahead!!

Because your body has been weakened by a "virus" 2 weeks ago,its very possible to have a relapse or reinfection.It may be a good idea to see your MD,for some prescription meds for nausea etc.If your also having trouble with vomiting and diarrhea,you must see the Doctor. Take care. SW RNP

usually you have a virus ONCE and then you are immune to it. you are probably coming down with a different illness...probably another flu bug.

there are lots of different stomach bugs going around, so you may have gotten an entirely new one this time - lousy luck, but it happens!

Yes you can get it again if you were exposed to the viurs again.

Maybe you're pregnant.
