About This Treatment

What is
Food Poisoning & Stomach Flu?

Food poisoning and stomach flu cause rapid, significant fluid and electrolyte loss. Oral rehydration is often ineffective when nausea and vomiting prevent adequate intake. IV hydration bypasses this barrier entirely — delivering fluids, nutrients, and anti-nausea medication directly where they're needed.

Our GI Recovery formula combines 1L of saline with a targeted blend of antiemetics, gut-supportive nutrients, and antioxidants — providing comprehensive symptom relief in a single supervised session.

The Formula

Key Ingredients.

💊
Zofran (Ondansetron)
A powerful antiemetic that blocks serotonin receptors responsible for nausea and vomiting, providing rapid symptom relief so recovery can begin.
🛡️
Pepcid (Famotidine)
An H2 blocker that reduces stomach acid production, easing the gastric irritation and discomfort that accompany food poisoning and stomach flu.
🌟
Glutathione
The master antioxidant that supports cellular detoxification — helping the body neutralize and eliminate the toxins that triggered GI distress.
B-Complex + B12
Replaces the B vitamins lost through vomiting and diarrhea, restoring the energy metabolism and neurological support needed for full recovery.
🌿
Zinc
Supports gut mucosal healing and immune defense — critical for repairing the intestinal lining and restoring normal GI function after illness.
What It Does

Designed to Deliver.

Stops Nausea Fast
Zofran is one of the most effective antiemetics available — providing rapid relief from the nausea and vomiting that make recovery feel impossible.
Restores Fluid Balance
1L of saline rapidly corrects the dehydration caused by vomiting and diarrhea, addressing the most dangerous consequence of GI illness quickly and safely.
Calms Stomach Acid
Pepcid reduces gastric irritation that prolongs discomfort, helping your GI tract begin healing from the moment the infusion starts.
Supports Detoxification
Glutathione helps neutralize the bacterial toxins and irritants responsible for triggering your immune response and prolonging your symptoms.
The Experience

What to Expect.

1
Medical Evaluation
A brief physician assessment confirms the diagnosis and ensures IV therapy is the appropriate and safe treatment for your situation.
2
Immediate Comfort

Good to Know

Why Food Poisoning Hits So Hard.

Food poisoning causes rapid fluid and electrolyte loss through vomiting and diarrhea, creating a dangerous cycle: your body desperately needs hydration and nutrients to recover, but your digestive system is too compromised to absorb anything you try to drink or eat. This is exactly why IV therapy is the clinical standard for treating acute dehydration.

The Food Poisoning IV bypasses your irritated stomach entirely, delivering fluids, electrolytes, and essential vitamins directly into the bloodstream. Anti-nausea medication provides immediate relief so your body can shift from crisis mode to recovery mode. Vitamin C and B-complex support immune function and energy production during a time when your body is under significant stress.

Food poisoning can happen to anyone — from a bad meal at a restaurant to contaminated food while traveling. In Miami Beach and Surfside, where dining out is a way of life, having fast access to clinical-grade recovery can mean the difference between losing a day and getting back on your feet within hours.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions.

When should I come in for food poisoning treatment?

+
Come in as soon as you are able to travel safely. The earlier you receive IV hydration and anti-nausea support, the faster your recovery. If you are unable to keep any fluids down for several hours, IV treatment becomes especially important to prevent significant dehydration.

Is this the same as going to the emergency room?

+
For mild to moderate food poisoning, the treatment you receive at TrufaMED is clinically similar to what an ER would provide — IV fluids, electrolytes, anti-nausea medication, and monitoring. The difference is a private, comfortable setting with minimal wait times. For severe cases with high fever, bloody stools, or signs of serious infection, an emergency room visit may be appropriate.

Does the IV include anti-nausea medication?

+
Yes. Our physician can administer anti-nausea medication intravenously as part of your treatment. This provides rapid relief and allows your body to begin recovering without the constant distress of nausea and vomiting.

How long will I feel better after the infusion?

+
Most patients experience significant improvement within the hour. Nausea typically resolves quickly, and energy and clarity improve as hydration is restored. Full recovery from food poisoning depends on the severity of the illness, but IV treatment meaningfully accelerates the process for most patients.

Do I need an appointment or can I walk in?

+
Walk-ins are welcome for food poisoning treatment based on availability. For the fastest service, call ahead at (305) 537-6396 so our team can prepare for your arrival. We understand that food poisoning does not happen on a schedule and we do our best to accommodate urgent needs.

Can children receive this treatment?

+
TrufaMED provides IV therapy for adult patients. For pediatric food poisoning concerns, please contact your child's pediatrician or visit a pediatric urgent care. If your child is experiencing severe dehydration or concerning symptoms, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Pricing & Formulation

Food Poisoning & Stomach Flu IV Physician-led IV protocol for acute food poisoning, gastroenteritis, and severe vomiting/diarrhea recovery.

What's Inside

Zofran (Ondansetron)
IV anti-nausea medication that controls vomiting within minutes.
Pepcid (Famotidine)
IV acid blocker for stomach lining inflammation.
Toradol (Ketorolac) — physician approval required
Non-opioid IV anti-inflammatory for abdominal cramping and pain.
Lactated Ringers (1L)
Balanced crystalloid carrier — the standard ER fluid for moderate-to-severe dehydration.
Magnesium
Helps restore electrolyte balance lost through vomiting/diarrhea.
B-Complex
Supports recovery from acute illness depletion.
Best for: Acute food poisoning (within 24 to 48 hours of symptom onset), viral gastroenteritis, post-cruise norovirus exposure, post-travel stomach illness, and any patient with severe vomiting who cannot keep down oral hydration.

Why Same-Day IV Beats Waiting It Out

Acute food poisoning and viral gastroenteritis can derail you for 3 to 7 days when managed with rest and oral hydration alone — and severe vomiting often makes oral hydration impossible. A same-day IV protocol can compress recovery to 24 to 48 hours by stopping the vomiting (Zofran), addressing inflammation (Pepcid + Toradol), restoring fluid and electrolyte balance (Lactated Ringers + magnesium), and supporting cellular recovery (B-complex). Most patients feel meaningful improvement before the infusion finishes.

When to Choose IV Over the ER

For straightforward food poisoning or stomach flu with vomiting, dehydration, and cramping — but no high fever, bloody diarrhea, severe abdominal pain, or signs of severe dehydration (confusion, fainting, extremely dark urine) — TrufaMED Urgent Care is significantly faster, less expensive, and far more comfortable than an ER visit. Walk-ins are seen in under 25 minutes; the IV is started within an hour. For symptoms that cross the severe threshold (or pediatric patients under 2 with severe dehydration), the ER is still the right call.

Common Triggers in Miami

Miami's busiest IV cases for this protocol include post-cruise norovirus exposure (a steady source from Port of Miami), restaurant-acquired food poisoning during high tourist seasons, and travel-related illness from international flights. Mobile IV delivery ($345) is a common request for hotel guests and cruise passengers who cannot reasonably travel to clinic.

Common Questions About Food Poisoning & Stomach Flu IV

How quickly will I stop vomiting?
Zofran typically stops vomiting within 15 to 30 minutes of IV administration. Most patients tolerate liquids within an hour of the infusion starting.
Can I get this IV at home or at my hotel?
Yes — mobile delivery is $345. We are a frequent service to cruise passengers, hotel guests, and patients too unwell to travel to clinic.
When should I go to the ER instead of TrufaMED?
High fever (over 102°F), bloody stools, severe persistent abdominal pain, confusion, fainting, or signs of severe dehydration (extremely dark urine, no urination for 8+ hours) warrant an ER. For most acute food poisoning and stomach flu without these features, TrufaMED is faster and more comfortable.
Will I need antibiotics?
Most food poisoning and viral gastroenteritis are not bacterial and do not require antibiotics. Your TrufaMED physician will assess and prescribe antibiotics only if specific bacterial infection is identified or strongly suspected.
