I knew my head gasket was bad because after replacing the lower intake manifold gaskets. The temperature was fine and heat would blow out the heater fine. Untill I drove it around and the heater would blow cool air and the temp would go up. Then I had to bleed the air out of the coolant and everything was fine again unless I drove it around.

As far as your problem goes. Did you bleed the air out of the coolant when you flushed it out?. Were you losing coolant before you flushed it? It is possible that you blew the head gasket. I was able to change it out in about 10 hours. And it cost me about $200 for the parts. If you do decide to do it yourself get the head gasket kit set. It should have all the gaskets you need to put it back together. Plus you would want a repair manual to help you along.
