Re: healed
Although people will understand you if you say “My flu has healed”, we don’t usually use “heal” for infections. Instead, we “recover” from infections.
Here are some more idiomatic ways to put it:
My flu’s better.
My flu’s gone.
I’ve got over my flu.
I’ve recovered from my/the flu.

Re: healed
Using these sentences will help to be more coherent:
I have recovered from my flu.
My flu has gone away.
I am healed from the flu.
I have recovered from my flu.
My flu has gone away.
I am healed from the flu.

Re: healed
In English, "healed" is usually used for wounds, injuries, or conditions that the body repairs (e.g., "My wound is healed"), while flu is an illness that we typically recover from rather than "heal."
