How long are people contagious with stomach bug?

Are they contagious before they actually get sick, or still after they get sick? It's going around my office... And I really don't want to get it!

I'd say they're contagious as they're getting sick (when they might not know it yet) and continue to be while the symptoms persist. Once the disgusting stuff is over, I'd say they're no longer contagious.

Cool, one of my friends said she got sick every hour yesterday and just came into my office and for a half hour told me all about the gory details... I felt like saying keep your distance!
