Our Flo
IV Hydration is the fastest and most efficient way to bounce back from the symptoms and effects of the Food Poisoning.
Intravenous administration of just one 1000mL saline bag is equivalent to drinking 2.5 gallons of water without the debilitating effects of orally consuming that much liquid. We can also eliminate nausea with Zofran, a targeted antiemetic medication.
Additionally, Vida-Flo’s combination of electrolytes, vitamins and targeted medications will alleviate your symptoms and have you back on your feet in no time!
Treatment for Food Poisoning
What is Food Poisoning?
Food poisoning is an illness that is the result of eating food contaminated by bacteria like salmonella or Escherichia coli (E. Coli), or a virus like norovirus. Most people recover from food poisoning in a few days without treatment, but some cases can become more severe.
Symptoms
People with food poisoning develop symptoms a few hours, days, or even weeks after eating contaminated food. Food poisoning symptoms include:
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Bloody or watery diarrhea
- Abdominal cramps and pain
- Fever
People with the food poisoning usually recover in a few hours or days unless it is a more severe case.
Complications
Food poisoning can cause complications, such as:
- Dehydration
Dehydration is the severe loss of fluids, electrolytes, and vitamins that can sometimes be fatal. Healthy adults should not have a problem if they drink enough fluids. However, older adults, children under 5, and people with weakened immune systems could end up hospitalized from dehydration. - Listeria infection
Listeria food poisoning is more severe for unborn babies. It can lead to miscarriages, stillbirths, premature births, or fatal infections after birth even if the mother was only mildly ill. If the infant survives, they could have long-term neurological damage. - Escherichia coli (E. Coli)
Hemolytic uremic syndrome can sometimes develop from certain E. Coli strains, causing kidney damage and even kidney failure.
Risk Factors
Though most food poisoning cases are mild, some people are at higher risk for complications. People at higher risk include:
- Anyone 65 years and older
- Anyone with chronic medical conditions like diabetes, asthma, or heart disease
- Pregnant women
- Children under 5 years old
Prevention
People can prevent food poisoning by:
- Washing your hands often
- Cleaning utensils and food surfaces often
- Keeping raw foods away from cooked food
- Fully cooking foods to the correct temperature
- Immediately refrigerating and freezing foods
- Properly defrosting food
- Throwing away foods if doubtful of their safeness
Older adults, children under 5, pregnant women, and people with weakened immune systems should avoid:
- Raw or rare meat and poultry
- Uncooked hot dogs, deli meats, etc.
- Raw or undercooked eggs or foods with them (cookie dough, homemade ice cream)
- Raw or undercooked fish or shellfish (oysters, clams, etc.)
- Unpasteurized milk and milk products
- Unpasteurized juices and ciders
- Soft cheeses (feta, Brie and Camembert, unpasteurized cheese, etc.)
- Refrigerated meat spreads and pates
Unfortunately, there are a range of ways that people can develop food poisoning. But on the bright side, experts provide us with multiple prevention methods that can help keep us safe when we decide what to eat. In most cases, food poisoning resolves itself in a few hours or days. However, certain people are at higher risk for complications like dehydration and E. Coli. Luckily, Vida-Flo has a solution for the instant relief of food poisoning symptoms.
