The stomach flu is often referred to as a stomach bug.. This is actually a misnomer that causes considerable confusion. The stomach flu is caused by a communicable virus that is passed amongst infected individuals. It is not caused by bacteria.

Food poisoning, on the other hand, is not caused by human contact, but by consuming contaminated food.
