If I Have A Stomach Virus, Can I Still Breastfeed?

I have been so sick the past couple days with the stomach flu. I usually breastfeed, but I don't want to get my baby sick so I have been giving my daughter formula. She has had a lot of gas and I want to get her off of the formula as soon as possible. If I have a stomach virus, can I still breastfeed?
