There is no stomach flu but there is gastroenteritis both viral and bacterial. Gastroenteritis can strike at any time of year. There's no real season but the viral form is more common during colder weather when people spend more time indoors and in closer contact. The bacterial form is nearly always due to food contamination or undercooked food.
You're sleeping a lot because you need to. Go with it. It sounds like your symptoms are beginning to taper off and that's the usual course. It's often the first 3 days that are the worst. For diarrhea, you can use the BRAT diet -- Bananas, steamed Rice, Applesauce and dry Toast. The other things you're eating/drinking are fine and be sure to include plain water. If the diarrhea continues beyond 3 or 4 days, start taking Imodium. Take the Advil for headache and take it with food. The burning should resolve as you increase your fluid intake. I suspect I know why that's happened.
Keep your meals small and you can eat more frequently, perhaps 4-6 times a day. And take it easy until you feel more like yourself. When the diarrhea has stopped for 24 hours, you can introduce your usual foods back into your diet. Keep your meals small and frequent until your stomach has adjusted.Health Question & Answer
