Infectious diarrhea may be caused by a virus or by a bacterium. Regardless of the classification of pathogen that causes acute gastroenteritis, the results are much the same.
You will feel very sick, will probably also have a fever and experience nausea, diarrhea, and maybe even an upset stomach.
An intestinal virus can picked up food or other surfaces. Bacterial food poisoning, however, is that the bacteria actually live and grow in food possibly causing food spoilage or rotting. While no one wants to eat rotten food smelly, food poisoning most bacteria occurs before the food reaches this phase rotten even if the bacteria are there and multiplying and growing, which may not be obvious to you and the other to the banquet table.
So how can you tell if the vomiting and diarrhea you are having symptoms of stomach flu or food poisoning? Well, mostly you can not tell just the symptoms. Most of the time an intestinal virus or even a bacterial food poisoning will be a short-term illness and recover in a few days. It may not be necessary to consult a doctor if symptoms do not resolve and the disease worsens steadily. This may indicate there is a serious rare bacteria involved, or that your body is not only able to fully recover, perhaps because of dehydration or another underlying condition that has worsened due to diarrhea infectious.
The only symptom which is more typical of a bacterial food poisoning that viral gastroenteritis is bloody diarrhea. If you have diarrhea and can see bright red blood in it, then it would be a reason to go see the doctor. However, most cases of food poisoning and stomach flu is not serious enough to warrant visits to a doctor and dissipate on their own within a few days of becoming ill.
Thus, even if the symptoms of stomach flu can not be distinguished from food poisoning, there may be other ways to know if you caught an intestinal or eaten rotten food virus. In my experience, however, people who have fever, nausea, vomiting, stomach cramps and diarrhea are generally not interested in leaving home for these types of serviced details. You might want to just go to bed and let the disease run its course.
These two types of the disease, however, it can different by observing the way they propagate. If you know someone who has been ill with vomiting and diarrhea, and then you get sick, and then one day or later, someone in the family comes down with similar symptoms, an intestinal virus is likely to have been transmitted from person to person. The analogy would be like a domino trail of dominoes falling with each individually.
If, however, you have been to a social gathering where food was served and many people fall ill with the same symptoms all at the same time, then this is probably food poisoning.
