Stomach flu then ibs?

Stomach flu then ibs?
Hey i have had the stomach flu for about 2 weeks now, atleast i hope it is the stomach flu, it started with vomiting aches and pains cramps etc. but afterwards i felt extremely bloated, i started worrying googling and diseases because i have never experienced any thing like that.. i was having soft stools when i was bloated but that could just be cuz i was eating applesauce and bananas etc and it can take a while to get your bowels back on track.. then i started to get more sharp pains and discomfort more on the right side and it almost feels as if my left side is normal most the time.. sometimes the pain crawls over to the left but not often.. its mostly right side and right lower back.. i got extremely stressed and anxious about the whole thing now i think i might of actually given myself ibs from the anxiety i was experiencing.. i have a gastro appt. tomorrow the bloating has gone down now its mostly just a dull ache sometimes sharp pain on rite side.. i know this isnt a normal recovery time for the stomach flu.. and yes i know its not actually called that.. but is it possible it can take this long? or did i develop ibs? or anything else serious like that? i havnt vomited since and i am taking vicodin so i feel a lil constipated going once a day and dry small stools.. i am a 19 year old male and i am looking for any relief here mentally and physically.. any input would b great other then telling me its called the norovirus not the stomach flu.. will i ever go back to normal??????
