How contagious is the stomach flu?!
Question: for example.. will i get sick if she touches something, even if she didn't cough on her hand?
and what about if we are just in the same room, breathing the same air and talking, but no coughing or sneezing?

You are referring to viral gastroenteritis. Influenza is a respiratory disease, but most people call gastroenteritis "stomach flu". It's quite contagious. You probably can't get it from breathing the same air and talking, though!
