Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune condition where the ingestion of gluten—a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye—triggers an immune response that damages the small intestine. This damage interferes with nutrient absorption and can lead to a wide range of symptoms, from digestive issues to fatigue and skin rashes. Unlike a wheat allergy or gluten sensitivity, celiac disease is a lifelong condition that requires strict avoidance of gluten to prevent complications.

Common symptoms include bloating, diarrhea, weight loss, anemia, and chronic fatigue, though some individuals may experience non-digestive symptoms like joint pain, infertility, or neurological issues. In children, celiac disease can affect growth and development. Because symptoms vary widely, many cases go undiagnosed or are mistaken for other conditions. A proper diagnosis involves blood tests and a biopsy of the small intestine.

At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic, we’re committed to helping you manage celiac disease with expert advice, gluten-free product recommendations, and support for nutritional health.

Monitoring your blood sugar is a key part of managing diabetes, and using your blood glucose monitor correctly ensures you get reliable results. At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, we want to empower you with the knowledge to make testing simple and effective. Start by washing your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap—residue from food or lotions can affect your readings. Always use a clean lancet and test strip, and follow your device’s instructions carefully.

When testing, prick the side of your fingertip (not the center) to reduce discomfort. Wipe away the first drop of blood and use the second for your reading—this helps remove any contaminants. Keep your meter, strips, and lancets stored in a cool, dry place, and avoid expired supplies. Record your readings consistently, and note any factors like meals, exercise, or stress that may influence your levels. This helps you and your healthcare provider spot patterns and adjust your care plan.

Insulin pumps are small, wearable devices that help people with diabetes manage their blood sugar more precisely and conveniently. Instead of multiple daily injections, the pump delivers a steady stream of rapid-acting insulin under the skin—mimicking how a healthy pancreas would naturally release insulin. This continuous dose is called basal insulin, and it helps maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day and night.

In addition to basal insulin, the pump can deliver bolus doses—extra insulin given at mealtimes or when blood sugar levels spike. Most pumps allow users to input their carbohydrate intake and current glucose levels, then calculate the appropriate bolus dose. Many modern pumps also integrate with continuous glucose monitors (CGMs), automatically adjusting insulin delivery based on real-time data. This technology offers greater flexibility, fewer needle sticks, and improved control over blood sugar levels.

Managing blood sugar levels is essential for overall health—especially for those living with diabetes or prediabetes. At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, we’re here to help you take control with practical, everyday strategies. Preventing blood sugar spikes not only improves energy and focus but also reduces the risk of long-term complications like heart disease and nerve damage.

Here are five effective tips to keep your blood sugar steady:

1. Choose low glycemic index foods – These digest slowly and cause a gradual rise in blood sugar. Think whole grains, legumes, and non-starchy vegetables.

2. Balance your meals – Combine healthy carbs with protein and fats to slow digestion and glucose absorption.

3. Watch your portions – Overeating—even healthy foods—can lead to spikes. Use smaller plates and measure servings when possible.

4. Stay active – A short walk after meals can help your muscles absorb glucose more efficiently.

5. Stay hydrated – Dehydration can affect blood sugar control, so drink water regularly throughout the day.

Anxiety isn’t just a mental experience—it can have profound effects on your physical health. When anxiety strikes, your body enters a heightened state of alert, triggering the “fight or flight” response. This leads to increased heart rate, rapid breathing, muscle tension, and a surge of stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline. Over time, chronic anxiety can strain your cardiovascular system, disrupt sleep, and weaken your immune response.

Digestive issues are also common. People with anxiety may experience nausea, stomach pain, bloating, or changes in appetite, as the brain-gut connection becomes overstimulated. Additionally, anxiety can cause headaches, dizziness, fatigue, and even skin flare-ups due to hormonal imbalances. These symptoms often appear without an obvious cause, making it harder to connect them to underlying stress.

At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic, we understand that anxiety affects more than just your mood. Our team offers compassionate support, medication guidance, and wellness strategies to help you manage both the mental and physical symptoms.

Sleep isn’t just a time for rest—it’s a vital process that supports nearly every system in your body. While you sleep, your brain consolidates memories, your muscles repair, and your immune system strengthens. Adults typically need 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep each night to maintain optimal physical and mental health. Chronic sleep deprivation can increase the risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and even depression.

Lack of sleep also affects your ability to concentrate, make decisions, and manage stress. It can lead to mood swings, reduced productivity, and a weakened immune response. On the flip side, getting enough sleep improves emotional resilience, enhances cognitive performance, and helps regulate hormones like cortisol and insulin. Prioritizing sleep is just as important as eating well and staying active.

Cancer remains one of the leading health challenges in Canada, with nearly 1 in 2 Canadians expected to be diagnosed in their lifetime. At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, we believe that awareness is the first step toward prevention and early detection.

Here are the 10 most common types of cancer affecting Canadians:

Lung Cancer – Often linked to smoking and environmental exposure, it’s the deadliest and most frequently diagnosed cancer.

Colorectal Cancer – Affects the colon or re**um and is highly treatable when caught early.

Breast Cancer – The most common cancer in women, with increasing survival rates due to early screening.

Prostate Cancer – The most common cancer in men, often slow-growing and manageable with regular monitoring.

Bladder Cancer – Frequently associated with smoking and chemical exposure.

Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma – A cancer of the lymphatic system with various subtypes.

Melanoma – A serious form of skin cancer linked to UV exposure.

Thyroid Cancer – Often detected early and has a high survival rate.

Kidney and Renal Pelvis Cancer – Affects the organs responsible for filtering waste from the blood.

Uterine Cancer – Common in postmenopausal women and often detected through abnormal bleeding.

Understanding these cancers and their risk factors empowers individuals to take proactive steps—such as regular screenings, lifestyle changes, and early consultations.

Diverticulitis is a condition that occurs when small pouches (called diverticula) in the wall of the colon become inflamed or infected. These pouches are common, especially in adults over 50, and are usually harmless. However, when they become irritated due to trapped waste or bacteria, they can lead to painful and potentially serious symptoms. At Ranchlands Pharmacy and Travel Clinic in Alberta, we believe that understanding digestive health is key to early intervention and better outcomes.

Common symptoms of diverticulitis include sudden and intense abdominal pain, usually in the lower left side, fever, nausea, changes in bowel habits such as constipation or diarrhea, and tenderness in the abdomen. In more severe cases, complications like abscesses, bowel obstruction, or perforation may occur, requiring urgent medical attention. If you experience persistent abdominal discomfort along with fever or digestive changes, it’s important to seek professional care.

Treatment for diverticulitis depends on the severity of the condition. Mild cases may be managed with rest, dietary changes, and antibiotics, while more serious cases could require hospitalization or surgery.

Psoriasis is widely known as a chronic skin condition, but research shows it can also impact your digestive health. As an autoimmune disorder, psoriasis triggers systemic inflammation that may affect multiple organs—including the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Studies have found a strong link between psoriasis and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. People with psoriasis are significantly more likely to develop these conditions due to shared genetic and immune system pathways.

Common digestive symptoms in people with psoriasis may include bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and food sensitivities. Increased intestinal permeability—sometimes called “leaky gut”—has also been observed in psoriasis patients, which may allow harmful substances to enter the bloodstream and worsen inflammation. Additionally, psoriasis is associated with a higher risk of celiac disease, a condition where gluten triggers immune responses that damage the small intestine.

Managing psoriasis-related digestive symptoms often involves a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, dietary adjustments, and regular monitoring. If you’re experiencing GI discomfort alongside psoriasis, it’s important to speak with a healthcare provider to explore possible connections and treatment options.
