We Have Information on Gluten-Free and Several Other Unique Diets Available For Your Family.

Gluten Free

What does following a gluten-free diet mean? That you're embarking on an easy diet with a wide range of health-promoting effects. Instead of dwelling on what you’re giving up, consider that you’re going to enjoy a whole new world of delicious food options to meet your special dietary needs. You’ll be eating seasonally, choosing more fresh fruits and vegetables, focusing on meats, seafood, poultry, legumes, lentils, corn, and rice, and discovering fascinating ancient grains such as quinoa, amaranth, and millet. You’ll be able to eat potatoes, eggs, most cheeses, even chocolate (!)—and enjoy them without guilt because you’ll be taking good care of your body. In fact, you’ll probably end up eating—and feeling—better than ever!

Raw Foods

“Raw” is all the rage these days, but what does it mean to eat raw? And is it possible to get enough protein and other nutrients while following a raw diet?

Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F

Raw, defined

Most raw foodists eat only plant-based (vegan) foods, including vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, legumes, and seaweed. Raw foods are those that have not been heated above 108°F to 118°F, depending on who you talk to. The logic behind this is that many of the nutrients in foods are extremely sensitive to heat. This is especially true of the water-soluble vitamins, like the B-vitamins, folate, and vitamin C. As Katie McDonald, a raw food chef and certified Holistic Health Coach in Rhode Island puts it, “The more you do to a food, the less it does for you.”

Raw food advocates also look to the enzyme content of raw foods, saying that cooking destroys delicate enzymes that could otherwise go toward improving the digestion of the foods you’re eating.

Ciclesonide

This form:

Pronounced

"sye-KLES-on-nide"

Common brand names:

Omnaris

Uses

This medication is used to treat symptoms of the nose (stuffiness or congestion, runny nose, itching, and sneezing) caused by seasonal and year-round nasal allergies. Ciclesonide works by reducing the swelling (inflammation) of the nasal passages. It belongs to the class of drugs known as corticosteroids.

How to Use This Medication

Read the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start using ciclesonide and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

Gently blow your nose before using this drug. Shake the container gently before each use. Remove the dust cap. Follow the instructions on how to properly prime the bottle when you first use each bottle or if you have not used it for 4 days. A fine spray means that the pump is primed properly.

Use this medication as directed by your doctor, usually once a day. Do not use more than 2 sprays in each nostril daily as this may increase the risk of side effects. Avoid spraying this medication in your eyes or directly onto the nasal septum (the wall between the two nostrils). Follow the detailed instructions for using the spray.

After each use, wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue and replace the protective cap. If the spray tip becomes blocked, do not try to unblock the nasal applicator by using a sharp object. Look at the Patient Information Leaflet to learn how to correctly unblock the spray bottle.

Use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. To help you remember, use it at the same time each day.

This medication does not work right away. Some people will feel this medication working within 2 days, but it may take up to 2 weeks for seasonal allergy relief, and up to 5 weeks for year-round allergy relief. When using ciclesonide to prevent seasonal allergy symptoms, start this medication 2-4 weeks before pollen season begins.

Keep track of the number of sprays used from each container. Discard the container after you have used the number of sprays specified on the manufacturer's package or 4 months after you removed the bottle from the foil pouch it came in, whichever comes first.

Tell your doctor if your condition lasts or gets worse.
