If you are talking about diarrhea with influenza, which is the respiratory flu, then it is usually for only a day or maybe two and it is not at all among the symptoms for many people. Some people have reported it as a symptom of the pandemic Swine Flu H1N1, but it usually is very short term.
If you are talking about the "stomach flu", which really isn't the flu at all-it is just called that-- it is usually a viral gastrointestinal illness and then often it is a three or four day illness. If it continues beyond that, you should check with your health care professional to see if an examination or prescription is needed.
There are over the counter medicines for diarrhea, ask your pharmacist for suggestions for your specific symptoms. If diarrhea continues for more than three or four days, the possibility of dehydration, especially in the very young, very old or infirm, is serious and needs to be avoided. Drinking plenty of fluids is important and if you also are nauseated or vomiting, replacing the lost fluids is critical and you may need prescription medicines to keep the fluids down.

How long after vomiting can you drink water?
uh anytime you want. when you vomit, unless you drink salt water before, you lose all of your water. you can drink it anytime after vomiting, why couldn't you? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Actually, if you vomit, you SHOULD drink water, and a good bit of it. Obviously don't drink so much that you end up vomiting again, but diarrhea and vomiting are the 2 situations where dehydration becomes lethal. I'd suggest to keep sipping water (no big gulps, it'll upset both your esophagus and stomach) until you feel comfortable in your stomach region. Any chronic vomiting or uncontrollable/constant vomiting should be analyzed by a doctor, and not searched on the internet. >_<
