Hiya! I'm a member of the Kansas City CSA Chapter...and wanted to pass this on, in case any of you are in the area!

The Kansas City and Topeka Chapters of the Celiac Sprue Association are hosting a special presentation, "Gluten-Sensitivity and Other Inflammatory Aspects of Our Modern World: An Introduction to 'Anti-Inflammatory Living' " given by Dr. Kenneth Fine, M.D., Director of Operations and Director of Medical Research, Intestinal Health Institute, Dallas, Texas.

Dr. Fine is a board-certified internal medicine doctor and gastroenterologist, professionally involved in patient care, medical research, and teaching for over 18 years. He serves on the CSA Medical Advisory Board.

The presentation will focus on the latest science, age-old wisdom, and common sense solutions to combat and remedy the ill-effects of gluten and other inflammatory aspects of the modern world we live in: intestinal disorders, chronic inflammatory and autoimmune conditions, asthma, fibromyalgia, chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue, and depression.

The presentation will take place in the Alex George Auditorium in the Community Center Building at St. Joseph Medical Center, 1000 Carondolet Drive, Kansas City, Missouri (near 435 and State Line), on Sunday, October 29th from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. The presentation is free and open to the public.

Hey, for those of us who do go... we should wear some sort of identifying "something-or-other" so we can find each other and meet up!

Anyone interested in doing that??

=)

I just don't know anyone else in the world, personally, who is gluten-free. It would be nice to!

Look around more on that page. I think I looked at one of the lessons and he had a list of things not to eat.

I think here somewhere.. : Open Original Shared Link

Be sure to see him! I attended his lecture in San Diego and I thought he was marvelous. He talked about his research and how it all fits together.

So is anybody going?

I am.

I'll be there unless something happens to prevent me from coming. I usually bring my daughter with me, but I think this time she may just stay home and bug her brothers. She loves going to the CSA meetings, but this one might be a little "dry" for a 5 year old. =)

How was Dr. Fine's talk? Did he mention his research publication?

I heard him speak in Memphis earlier this month, and I asked him about publishing. He said he had submitted articles for publication , but they had not responded. I didn't catch the journal name or maybe he didn't say.

When I emailed enterolab awhile back, that's exactly what they said. They said they were planning to submit his research to a publication (one of the major medical journals) by the end of 2006 or shortly thereafter. But they said it could take 6 months for the journal to respond and publish it. If that is what has happened, then he is now at the mercy of the open or closed mindedness of the medical establishment of that publication. Let's pray for truth to prevail.

I have watched almost the whole DVD now and I am glad I got it. Scary with the Chemicals there I thought.

I am gonne get water from glas bottles now and get even more Organic stuff that I do. I am curious to see more of the homepage Dr Fine is starting up to sell Organic fruits and veggies. I wonder if it will be affordable..

I also felt I got many of my questions answered watching it.

      Confusion about my son's results

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG...

      Confusion about my son's results

      But yes seeing all those negatives does give me a bit of doubt! I feel confident but those results give me a seed of doubt. Especially since it's a lifelong diet for him!

      Confusion about my son's results

      When I originally posted I hadn't talked to the pediatrician yet and didn't realize about the budosinide. Now I feel pretty confident. I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the...

      Confusion about my son's results

      @lizzie42, So, I'm confused with what you are uncertain about. Do you really have any doubt that your 5 year-old son has celiac disease? Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet...

      Confusion about my son's results

      These are my sons results. My daughter was high positive on everything and maxed out the tests in addition to being anemic, bad rash, etc. Yes, he has been eating mostly gluten free (not completely). He was also on a high dose of budosinide at the time of testing due to some asthma and sickness. I didn't realize that affects the results. This...

      Confusion about my son's results

      By trents · Posted

      Most doctors don't even order anything besides the tTG-IGA and maybe total IGA when doing blood testing for celiac disease. The EMA is the very first celiac blood antibody test that was developed and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which is less expensive to run in the lab. My understanding is they both pretty much check for the same thing. The IGG tests are second tier tools that are less specific for celiac disease. It is not at all uncommon for the EMA and the tTG-IGA to disagree with one another. We frequently see this on the forum. I do not know why. Please realize that doctors typically run a number of tests when diagnosing a medical condition. If there was one test that was foolproof, there would not be a need for other tests and other testing modalities. It works that way with many or most diseases.

I was concerned that all of the tests didn't come back positive - that seemed kind of ambiguous to me. I didn't realize that was common. Do a lot of people on here have a positive tTG but negative other tests? I thought the EMA was pretty "gold standard."  And yes I do now wonder about the asthma! I hope being gluten free will improve that!

Is it because he isn't exhibiting anemia and the rash as did your daughter? The genes are certainly there and the antibody testing certainly indicates celiac. And given the fact that he was on a reduced gluten diet and on a steroidal medication (which would likely suppress immune responses) do you really have any doubt? If you can't afford the GI consult with endoscopy/biopsy, why would you consider a gluten challenge after removing the remainder of the gluten from his diet? Have you considered that his asthma and "sickness" may be tied to celiac disease?

      These are my sons results. My daughter was high positive on everything and maxed out the tests in addition to being anemic, bad rash, etc.  Yes, he has been eating mostly gluten free (not completely). He was also on a high dose of budosinide at the time of testing due to some asthma and sickness. I didn't realize that affects the results.  This test along with my daughter being so sick with it prompted the pediatrician to diagnose him. We can always do a gluten challenge in the future. We will do that with our 1 year old. We will have her eat school lunch when she goes to prek and then test after a couple months.
