The CDC lists vomiting and diarrhea as flu symptoms, though not common ones in adults.

Flu Symptoms & Complications | Seasonal Influenza (Flu) | CDC

I know in the past I have had the common flu symptoms like sore . throat, general aches, stuffy nose along with diarrhea/vomiting in the past. Not fun... that was before I "got religion" and got a flu shot every year.
