That would not be likely or even probable that he would get the stomach flu 3 times in such a short period of time. The rare exception would be if he is in a working environment where it has been rampant, and he does not wash his hands regularly before eating, after the washroom, and so on. Even then, it would be rare. There are many medical possibilities for this and yes he does need to go to a doctor and insist that they run blood work, stool check, and that he honestly list and other symptoms. Vitamin C is good, but a diet high in actual vegetables, especially broccoli and fruits including tomato's, strawberries, kiwi, and so on, really are important. Also, he needs to make sure he drinks LOTS of water, and also grape juice that does NOT have corn syrups in it. Walmart sells a concord grape juice that is good, and also a more expensive but even better one in the international isle called Kodem. It is time for him to hit the doctors office! If he waits too long he can damage organs, and get very dehydrated. Good luck!
you may want to consult your doctor and ask about seeing a gastroenterologist.
Can I be honest and ask this? If U are so concerned , why don't U get him to the Dr.?
So what you are saying is he is vomiting 'often' or more often then you are. It could be the start of a stomach ulcer, could be gall bladder acting up. If he does not want to go to the Doc, then I would start making notes of what he is eating and drinking on a daily basis. The wait for the next bout of vomiting and see if 'a' food or drink, is the cause? Could also be he is having bouts of constipation, so the stomach is kinda saying; look I have not got rid of yesterdays food, I cannot cope with more food. Best of Luck
