There sure are some big names listed.  Anyone know about it?  Looks interesting.

I'm surprised at that line-up. Some real experts and some of the high profile quacks. Interesting.

I counted  7 actual noted celiac specialists, authors and researchers.. I am stunned to see them there with these other "experts", but I guess they know what they are doing.

Maybe they are there to help create better understanding of celiac and the gluten spectrum.

I have a lot of respect for those doctors and Melinda Dennis.

 

I also see a bunch of people who think everyone has a gluten sensitivity ( and some who can diagnose you with it for lots of $$$$.!) --even though there is no such thing at this time as a "gluten sensitivity test"--according to celiac experts!

 

I see people with lots of letters after their names, but it does not make me believe they are celiac or gluten experts.I have read several of their books and was not impressed at all. 

This all IMHO, of course.

 

I even read a  press release where the people at GIG  are now touting Cyrex lab tests as "valid".

So, how can that be--when the celiac experts say they are not?

 

Save your bucks and go to the ICDS next year.

Actually, the next ICDS is in 2 years in Prague and the one after that is in New Delhi. So save your money! The reps from Prague are doing a lot of planning! I noticed none of these self- proclaimed Internet experts presented at ICDS.

Now that I read the advertising more carefully, it does say that it's the world's first summit like this so I guess it's new to all of us.  

 

I enrolled in it and so far it has cost nothing.  It say the event dates are Nov. 11 to 17, 2013 when several interviews will be on-line each day.  I have no experience with events like this, perhaps they'll be wanting to sell stuff by the end.

 

They say their goal is to "move the conversation about gluten-related disorders forward".  That seems reasonable enough.  It's not directed just at people with celiac disease I take it.

I signed up to. It is free. I know a lot of the speakers do have products and books to sell, some good and some bad.

I think we need to remember that, just because someone calls the self a doctor, they aren't necessarily an MD. Also, research done by a company and not presented to other research peers to review and critique, may not be valid. Also, watch for a lot of odd logic or taking you in circles to get to " proof" of a theory or test.

One of these presenters has been "proving" their point in a way that will make you dizzy - them - A does x in your body. Me- how is that even possible? Them - it's not really A you are reacting to. It is the gluten added to A that your body is reacting to. Me - then A isn't doing what you just said it was! it's the gluten instead! Them - no, because that test wasn't valid. It was in a test tube. therefore A does x in the body.

Should be interesting to see if there are discussions with a mix of these folks or simply each participant presenting their take.

This does look interesting. There are at least a few people listed that I would pay actual real money to hear speak, and if someone is (or starts sounding like) a kook I can just stop listening. No one is going to force any of us to listen to every one of these "experts" but some of them are the best of the best and we would all benefit from hearing what they have to say.

I saw that Dr. Daniel Amen is one of the presenters.  I have met him personally.  He is a crusader of the S.P.E.C.T. imaging process of the Brain.  I was fortunate to be a client at his Newport Beach, CA clinic.  I HIGHLY recommend watching his presentation.

yes, he's one of the ones I hold with high regard. I read that he is

 

" the lead researcher on the world’s largest brain imaging and rehabilitation study on professional football players."

is one of the doctors who has linked gluten to neurological symptoms, particularly gluten ataxia.

It was by reading his PUB MED articles that I started to figure out what the heck was going on with me.

Wow Irish, that is great.  I was at his clinic about 3 years ago.  They have extensive archived images of not only football players but every imaginable traumatic brain injury, mental health disorders, toxin effects, etc.  And yes, my brain scan is in there too :) 

 

He runs presentations on PBS regularly.  His wife Tana is also accomplished in the nutrition area and just released a book.

ok... here is one of the presenters. I saw her in an infommercial today as I flipped through the channels.

 

Not sure what it has to do with celiac or medically necessary gluten free diet

and out of curiosity, I looked up this guy Dave and found

 

The Financial Times described Dave as a “bio-hacker who takes self-quantification to the extreme of self-experimentation” after he upgraded his brain by 20 IQ points, lowered his biological age, and lost 100 lbs without using calorie-control or exercise.

 

 

 

HOLY SMOKES.

and furthermore, I lost nearly 100 lbs. without "calorie counting or exercise". It's called malabsorption.

 

He calls it "self-quantification"?

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
