Or other viruses that are not influenza, or bacterial infections. The flu is characterized by a high fever, severe fatigue etc that lasts for a solid week or more. Any time anybody gets sick these days, they say they got ”the flu”, which is usually not the case.

My understanding is the flu is also a respiratory disease not a gastrointestinal one.

Food poisoning. Does Mary Jane help when you have the stomach bug?

It's why so many chemo patients are helped by cannabis.

it was probably how i was going to head to bed anyway to tell the truth. not sure if it was food poisoning, it went on for three days or so. not as severe as the initial purge. i don't think it would be possible for me to have avoided food poisoning. i've most likely had it in the past and recovered within a day. another reason i rule out food poisoning is that i eat fast food maybe two to three times a year and the wife controls the budget and we rarely go out to eat and i have to cook. my mother instilled within me the habit of overcooking any type of meat
