Yes. Foodborne illness often shows itself as flu-like symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or fever, so many people may not recognize that the illness is caused by bacteria or other pathogens in food. Experts from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that many of the intestinal illnesses commonly referred to as stomach flu are actually caused by food-borne pathogens. People do not associate these illnesses with food because the onset of symptoms often occurs 2 or more days after the contaminated food was eaten.

Yes, food poisoning and the flu have very similar symptoms in the beginning, but food poisoning should go away more quickly. You might want to use an online symptom checker to make sure it isn't something more serious. Always check with your doctor. -
