I heard they were caused by different viruses. Also, what causes achiness in stomach flu? Is it just the virus or is it from dehydration? And lastly, does the flu shot only prevent and help with flu or does it also help to prevent the stomach flu as well? Thanks.

The flu vaccine only protects against certain types of flu. It seems there is always new strains every year. There are different types of flu. One you get achy, fever, chills. One you get intestinal symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, fever, achiness. One you get sore throat, sinus symptoms, cough, fever. Different virus causes different symptoms.
