Can Flu Cause Abdominal Pain, Belching And Vomiting?

I have had intense stomach pains and belching for 2 hrs. Thought it was gas. But now I’ve started throwing up and I’m 44 and I’ve only thrown up 3 times in my life so it’s very rare for me. The stomach pains have eased away now but I’m aching. Is it just a flu?
