>I think you're right on both those points, but I really do believe that there is such a thing as stomach flu. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that the flu virus generally presents either in the respiratory system or in the intestines and I'm assuming the intestinal variety is what we call stomach flu.

Mine went.....extreme fatigue, high fever, chills....then hit the stomach, then respiratory....and for a few days just felt like hell. It was only when I was able to sleep straight through the night that I started getting better.
