Our Flo
Vida-Flo uses targeted medications and our IV hydration drip to counteract the vomiting and diarrhea associated with Celiac disease.
By providing direct fluid and vitamin infusion we achieve immediate relief and deliver everything directly to your bloodstream, bypassing the gastrointestinal system entirely.
Additionally, because the effects of Celiac can cause severe dehydration and the inability to absorb nutrients, Vida-Flo helps to overcome these issues.
Adding IV Hydration to a healthy regimen will help to counteract the dehydration effects and the inability to absorb vitamins caused by Gluten Intolerance.
Oral supplements and drinking water can only do so much when faced with Gluten Intolerance issues. By infusing just one 1000 mL lactated ringer you will enjoy the equivalent of drinking 2.5 gallons of water along with electrolytes and any additional vitamins your Hydrocare Provider recommends. Vida-Flo does not cure your problem, but it goes a long way in defeating the debilitating dehydration and vitamin deficiencies that can be caused by Gluten Intolerance.
Treatment for Celiac Disease & Gluten Intolerance
What is a Celiac Disease?
Celiac disease is a severe autoimmune disease that causes damage to the liver whenever patients eat gluten. About 1 in 100 people from all over the world suffer from this disease, and 2.5 million Americans are undiagnosed, which puts them at risk for long-term complications.
Symptoms
Celiac disease symptoms differ among children and adults. Children usually experience more digestive symptoms like:
- Abdominal bloating and pain
- Chronic diarrhea
- Constipation
- Steatorrhea (pale, foul-smelling, or fatty stool)
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Weight loss
- Fatigue
- Irritability and behavioral issues
- Dental enamel defects of permanent teeth
- Delayed growth or puberty
- Short stature
- Failure to thrive
- Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
Adults rarely experience digestive symptoms like diarrhea, mainly experiencing:
- Unknown causes of iron-deficiency anemia
- Fatigue
- Bone or joint pain
- Arthritis
- Osteoporosis or osteopenia (bone loss)
- Liver and biliary tract disorders (transaminitis, fatty liver, etc.)
- Depression or anxiety
- Tingling, numbness, or pain in the hands or feet
- Seizures or migraines
- Missed menstrual periods
- Infertility or recurrent miscarriage
- Canker sores inside the mouth
- Itchy skin rash
Long-Term Health Complications
- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Early onset osteoporosis
- Infertility and miscarriage
- Lactose intolerance
- Vitamin and mineral deficiencies
- Central and peripheral nervous system disorders
- Pancreatic insufficiency
- Gall bladder malfunction
- Neurological manifestations (ataxia, epileptic seizures, dementia, migraine, neuropathy, myopathy, etc.)
- Intestinal lymphomas and other GI cancers (malignancies)
Types of Celiac Disease
- Classical Celiac Disease
Classical Celiac disease patients show symptoms of malabsorption like diarrhea, steatorrhea, and low weight and growth rate in children.
- Non-classical Celiac Disease
Patients with non-classical Celiac disease usually do not show clear signs of malabsorption, but rather have seemingly unrelated symptoms, such as:- Iron-deficiency anemia
- Chronic fatigue
- Chronic migraine
- Tingling, numbness, or pain in hands or feet
- Chronic hypertransaminasemia (increase in liver enzymes) without a known cause
- Reduction in bone mass and increase in bone fractures
- Vitamin deficiency (Folic acid and B12)
- Difficulty with weight loss
- Early menopause and unexplained infertility
- Dental enamel defects
- Depression and anxiety
- Itchy skin rash
- Silent Celiac Disease
Silent Celiac disease does not show symptoms in patients, but it still causes damage to the small intestine.
Studies indicate that patients that went on a strict gluten-free diet experienced less acid reflux, abdominal bloating, and flatulence.
Causes/At-Risk Population
Celiac disease is passed along through families, only affecting those that are genetically predisposed to it. Members of families with first-degree relatives like siblings and parents have a 1 in 10 chance of developing Celiac disease and should be tested whether they show symptoms or not. People with multiple second-degree relatives are also at higher risk of developing the disease.
Celiac disease is such a common, yet severely undiagnosed disease that puts people at risk for chronic pain and long-term complication. Fortunately, Vida-Flo has a solution for immediate relief.
Benefits of IV Hydration for Celiac Disease
Celiac disease cannot be fully treated with Vida-Flo’s IV Hydration; however, this is the best treatment for restoring the necessary fluids, electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants that are lost due to this disease. Here is how:
Flo Vida’s IV Hydration
| Ingredients | Solution | Additive? |
| Saline Solution | Vida-Flo’s sterile saline solution replenishes the body by delivering vitamins and nutrients directly into your bloodstream, hydrating your body with 100% absorption and excreting anything your body doesn’t need. | No |
| Electrolytes | Electrolytes help boost energy levels, regulate fluids in the body, and ease muscle contraction. Since patients with celiac disease commonly lose electrolytes rapidly through diarrhea, they must be replenished. | No |
| Zofran | Zofran prevents nausea and vomiting. | Yes |
| Pepcid | Pepcid is a gluten-free heartburn medication that eases the symptoms of acid reflux that so frequently accompany celiac disease. | Yes |
| Magnesium | Magnesium eases muscles aches and pains that could be affecting your gut, digestion, and energy. Efficient levels of magnesium can also help with sleep and the production of digestive enzymes. | Yes |
Celiac disease, a disease that is prevalent all over the world, still leaves many genetically predisposed people undiagnosed, untreated, and at risk of long-term complications. With its wide variety of symptoms, it is no surprise that patients with this disease endure chronic suffering.
