- Your mouth is dry and your lips are cracked.
- You feel dizzy when you stand.

Food poisoning, stomach flu, or norovirus?
Food poisoning comes from bad food or water. It hits fast, often within hours. It usually passes in a day or two.
Stomach flu is a virus in your gut. It has nothing to do with the real flu. It spreads from person to person. It lasts one to three days.
Norovirus is the most common stomach virus. It spreads fast on cruise ships, in schools, and at home. One person gets it, then everyone does.
Travel stomach comes from new food and water on a trip. Cruise ships, Mexico, and long flights are common causes.
The good news? The bag is the same for all of them. Fluids, anti nausea medicine, and rest are what your body needs.
How fast does it work?
Most people feel the anti nausea medicine in 15 to 20 minutes. The stomach settles. Then the fluids catch up. The dizzy, weak feeling fades. By the end of the bag, most people can sip water and keep it down. Many eat a little that night.
Here is why it beats sipping fluids. When you have a stomach bug, your stomach rejects almost everything. Water comes back up. Pills come back up. Even if it stays down, your gut is too upset to absorb much. An IV skips all of that. The fluids and medicine go straight in.

When to go to the ER instead
An IV at home is for a normal stomach bug. Some signs mean you need more than we can give. Go to the ER or call 911 for any of these.
- You see blood in your stool or in what you throw up.
- You have a high fever, over 102.
- You have severe belly pain, or pain in one spot.
- You are confused, very sleepy, or cannot stay awake.
- You have not peed in 8 hours, or you faint when you stand.
- Your symptoms have lasted more than 3 days.
- You are pregnant. Call your OB first.
- You are over 65, or you have heart, kidney, or immune problems. Call your doctor first.
The ER can run tests and check for other causes. Then call us to recover after.
Safety first
Is the Food Poisoning IV safe?
Yes, when a nurse gives it and a provider signs off. That is how we do it every time.
- A registered nurse gives every IV.
- Our nurse practitioner reviews every protocol.
- Sterile, single use supplies.
- We check your vitals before we start.
- We ask about your health and your medicines first.
- Our nurses wear gloves and use fresh supplies. They wash up and clean their gear after every visit. Stomach bugs spread easily, and we take that seriously.
Who should skip it or ask first: people with heart, kidney, or liver disease. People with stomach ulcers or on blood thinners should tell us. We may leave out the pain medicine. Anyone who is pregnant should call their OB and see our Morning Sickness IV.
This is a wellness service. We do not treat severe dehydration or infections that need antibiotics. For the warning signs above, go to the ER.

Questions, answered
Still wondering? Text us or call (480) 674-8268.
How fast can you get here?
Same day, most days. Mobile runs 8 am to 8 pm.
Does it work for the stomach flu and norovirus?
Yes. The bag is the same for food poisoning, the stomach flu, and norovirus. It puts the fluids back and settles your stomach.
Will it stop the vomiting?
The anti nausea medicine settles most stomachs in about 15 to 20 minutes. Most people can keep water down after. It does not kill the bug. Your body still needs a day or two to clear it.
I am contagious. Will the nurse still come?
Yes. Our nurses wear gloves and use fresh supplies. They wash up and clean their gear after. Please tell us when you book so they can prepare.
Can I get one for my kids?
We serve adults, 18 and up. Ask us about teens. Our nurse practitioner has to approve it first. Young kids with a stomach bug should see their doctor or urgent care.
Should I go to the ER instead?
Go to the ER if you see blood or have a high fever. Same for severe belly pain, or if you feel faint or confused. Also go if it has lasted more than 3 days. When in doubt, go.
What should I eat after?
Start with sips of water. Then plain things like crackers, toast, rice, and broth. Skip greasy food and alcohol for a day or two.
Can I drive after?
Yes, if you feel up to it. Nothing in this bag makes you sleepy. If you are still weak, rest first.
Does insurance pay for it?
No. Most HSA and FSA cards work. We take all major cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.
Do I need a doctor’s note?
No. You need a short video call with a nurse practitioner before your first IV. It takes about five minutes. It is good for one year.
