Answers:
yes, it is contagious. What you are describing is viral gastroenteritis, and you can get it when someone is not good about personal hygiene after going to the bathroom. The best way to avoid getting it is to not share bottles, glasses or eating utensils with someone (taking bites off someone else's plate is not a good idea) Wash your hands before handling food, and after going to the bathroom, and use soap every time you do.
Get plenty of rest, and stay well hydrated if you get the flu, It will blow over in a few days. See a doctor if it lasts longer than 3 days or if you can't eat or drink enough to pee every 2 hours.

Yup
