IV Hydration for Gastrointestinal Diseases
Support Your Health and Recovery with Vida-Flo

When a GI condition has you vomiting or losing fluid through diarrhea, the problem feeds itself. The route you would normally use to replace fluid is the route that is not working. IV hydration for gastrointestinal diseases goes around it, straight into the bloodstream.

That is what we are good for. Replacing fluid and electrolytes, and where our protocols allow, symptom support for nausea or heartburn. It is supportive care during a flare. It does not treat the underlying condition, and it does not correct long-term malabsorption, which is managed by your gastroenterologist. Learn more about wellness at Vida-Flo.

What are Gastrointestinal Diseases?

Gastrointestinal, or GI, diseases occur within the GI tract. The GI tract is the part of the digestive system that helps with the processing of nutrients and the passing of waste out of your body. Gastrointestinal issues are common, and the symptoms of these types of diseases are similar. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience:

  • Abdominal bloating
  • Severe abdominal pain
  • Inability to swallow or have bowel movement
  • Fever and chills
  • Severe nausea, uncontrollable vomiting, or vomiting blood
  • Bloody diarrhea

Common GI Diseases

Here is a list of the 6 most common GI diseases:

GERD is a condition that causes heartburn, or the act of stomach acid going back up into your esophagus. Most people experience heartburn every once in a while; however, if you have heartburn at least twice a week or have symptoms that affect your everyday life, then you may have GERD.

Symptoms

  • Heartburn
  • Bad breath
  • Tooth erosion
  • Nausea
  • Pain in chest or upper abdomen
  • Trouble swallowing or breathing

Treatment

  • OTC antacids
  • Change in diet
  • Elevating the head of the bed
  • Avoid tight-fitting clothing
  • Quit smoking
  • Avoid laying down after a meal
  • Medication and surgery in more severe cases

Gallstones are hard objects that form in your gallbladder as a result of high cholesterol, waste in your bile, or your gallbladder not functioning properly. About one million Americans develop gallstones annually.

Symptoms

  • Sharp pain in your upper-right abdomen

Treatment

  • Medication
  • Surgery

Celiac disease is a severe gluten intolerance that causes intestinal damage whenever patients with this condition ingest gluten. About 1% of the U.S. population suffers from this disease unknowingly. They are often misdiagnosed with something else.

Symptoms in Children

  • Abdominal pain and bloating
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Vomiting

Symptoms in Adults

  • Anemia
  • Bone loss
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Seizures

Treatment

  • Avoid gluten
  • Eat alternatives like brown rice, quinoa, lentils, soy flour, etc.

Crohn’s disease is part of the inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) group that causes a series of digestive conditions. Crohn’s primarily affects the terminal ileum (connection of the small bowel and colon), though it can affect any part of the GI tract. About 780,000 Americans have this disease, yet the cause remains unknown. Some experts believe that genetics play a role in its development.

Symptoms

  • Abdominal pain
  • Rectal bleeding
  • Fever
  • Diarrhea

Treatment

  • Avoid trigger foods (alcohol, coffee, dairy products, carbonated drinks, raw fruit and vegetables, red meat, and foods that are: fried, spicy, fatty, or gas-producing)
  • Topical pain relievers
  • Immunosuppressants
  • Surgery

Ulcerative Colitis is an inflammatory bowel disease that primarily affects the large intestine, or colon, and about 907,000 Americans.

Symptoms

  • Sores or ulcers
  • Frequent and urgent bowel movements
  • Painful, bloody diarrhea
  • Abdominal cramps

Treatment

  • Anti-inflammatory medication
  • Avoid trigger foods
  • Surgery to remove the colon

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common digestive condition that about 10-15% of the global population suffers from.

Symptoms

  • Irregular bowel movements (cycles of hard, dry stool and watery diarrhea)
  • Bloating
  • Stomach pain or discomfort

Treatment

  • Avoid trigger foods
  • Eat low-fat, high-fiber meals
  • Incorporate probiotics into your diet with yogurt
  • Manage stress (cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants may help)

Complications and Risk Factors of Gastrointestinal Disease

Gastrointestinal diseases are common, in the US and everywhere else. Below are the complications and risk factors worth knowing about, and an honest account of where IV hydration fits.

Learn More:

Gastrointestinal diseases can cause complications, such as:

  • Dehydration
  • Constipation
  • Diarrhea
  • Fecal Impaction (unpassable, dry, hard stool)
  • Bowel Obstruction (blockage of the small or large intestine by something other than stool)
  • Radiation Enteritis (inflamed intestine caused by radiation therapy)

People at higher risk of developing a GI disease:

  • Are overweight or obese
  • Are pregnant
  • Take medication like antacids, antidepressants, narcotics, or iron supplements
  • Have a family history of GI issues
  • Travel or change your routine, causing stress on the digestive process
  • Smoke

IV hydration does not treat a gastrointestinal disease. What it does during a flare is replace what you are losing, by a route that does not depend on your gut. Here is what is in it:

  • Saline Solution: Sterile saline goes directly into your bloodstream, so the full volume reaches you rather than depending on how much you can drink and keep down.
  • Electrolytes: Given alongside the fluid, because replacing water on its own does not restore the sodium and potassium you lose through vomiting and diarrhea.
  • Heartburn relief: A medication that reduces stomach acid can be included where reflux or upper abdominal pain is part of the picture.
  • Anti-nausea: An anti-nausea medication can be included where nausea is stopping you keeping fluids down. It is a prescription medication, given under our medical director protocols after assessment.
  • Vitamin B Complex: Available as a boost. It is not a treatment for malabsorption. If a GI condition has left you deficient in something, that needs testing and follow-up with your gastroenterologist rather than a drip.

If you have blood in your stool or vomit, a fever with severe abdominal pain, or you cannot keep any fluid down at all, go to a doctor or an emergency department rather than booking with us.

Support Through a GI Flare
IV Hydration for Gastrointestinal Disease

A GI flare takes fluid and electrolytes out of you faster than you can put them back, and it does it through the exact system you would normally use to replace them. That is the gap IV hydration fills. What it does is replace fluid and electrolytes directly and, where our protocols allow, ease nausea or heartburn enough that you can function. That is supportive care, and it is genuinely useful during a bad few days. What it does not do is treat Crohn’s, colitis, celiac disease, IBS or GERD, or fix the absorption problems that come with them. Those belong with a gastroenterologist, and anything persistent, bloody or feverish belongs with a doctor today rather than with us. Vida-Flo has been doing IV hydration since 2012, with over 1,000,000 treatments delivered, and every treatment is given by a Registered Nurse under the protocols of our licensed physician medical directors.

Our hours of operation vary by location. Please visit the location-specific page for their current hours.

We offer all new clients our introductory ReVIDAlizer Treatment for only $119, which includes 1000 mL IV Fluids and Two Essential Boosts.

IV therapy works by using an intravenous (IV) fluid drip to deliver saline solution through a small catheter and tubing directly into the bloodstream. This saline solution may also include medications and vitamin supplements tailored to the individual patient.

During your therapy session, a medical professional will insert an IV line attached to a bag of saline solution. This bag is hung above the patient's head, using gravity to regulate the flow of fluids into the bloodstream. Compared to a syringe or other forced technique, gravity allows for a gradual introduction of fluids.

While the time frame of a single treatment varies from person to person, a session typically lasts 30 – 45 minutes. There are exceptions to this timeframe, such as with our NAD IV treatments, which generally take 1 to 2 hours per session.

IV drip therapy is highly effective in delivering nutrients, vitamins, and fluids directly to your bloodstream. Unlike oral supplements, this method bypasses the digestive system, allowing your body to absorb the maximum amount of nutrients without any loss during digestion. As a result, vitamins and nutrients are made immediately available to your cells, accelerating the benefits.

At Vida-Flo, we offer a variety of specialized IV blends designed to meet specific health goals. We also provide the option of custom-blended IV treatments to target your individual needs.

The duration of hydration therapy's benefits can vary depending on individual health factors and lifestyle choices. Some of our treatments, such as medications, provide immediate (but shorter-term) results. Our vitamin solutions are processed over a longer period, offering longer-lasting benefits.

Maintaining a regular schedule of treatments can help extend these benefits, supporting sustained hydration and improved health over time.

This was my first time trying IV hydration, and I wasn’t really sure what to expect. The place was clean, comfortable, and everyone was very friendly. Brooke explained everything to me and made me feel comfortable throughout the process.

I’m really glad I decided to give it a try, and I’ll definitely be coming back. I would highly recommend them, especially if it’s your first time!
