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.

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.

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.

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Thanks bumped it up and now take all 3 vitamins 2 capsules each with the super b complex at breakfast. I will give it some time to see if I notice a difference. I am going to track my eating daily diary on a myfitness pal app to see if the "claimed" gluten free foods bother me or not.

      Yeast extract

      Please can anyone help. I was diagnosed on 23rd December and I am trying my best to get my head around all the things to look out for. I have read that yeast extract is not to be eaten by coeliacs. Why? And is this all yeast extract. Or is this information wrong. Thanks.

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee!

      Labs ? Awaiting in person follow up with my GI

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea). I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. ...

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Seabeemee! The fact that the genetic testing shows you do not have either of the two genes associated with the potential to develop celiac disease (HlA DQ2 and HLA DQ8) pretty much ensures that you do not have celiac disease and the biopsy of the small bowel showing "normal villous architecture" confirms this. But you could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which would not damage the villous architecture. You could also have SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) or H. Pylori infection. Both of these conditions would thrive on carbs and you do say you feel better when you don't eat a lot of carbs. And with your resection of the small bowel, that could be causing it's own problems like you describe. When was that surgery done? You have had over 1 foot of your small bowel removed by that surgery in 2022 so that would certainly challenge digestion and nutrient absorption.  Edited

      My Doctor messaged me that I have no sign of Celiac disease so until I meet with her next week I don’t know what the labs mean. I am being evaluated by my new GI for Celiac disease because of digestive issues (bloating, distention, fullness in mid section, diarrhea).  I also have been diagnosed with GERD and some associated issues hence the endoscopy. I also was diagnosed with NAFLD after an abdominal CT scan in December - which surprises me because I gave up alcohol 5 years ago, workout 5 days a week, cardio / weights and cook from scratch every night. Anecdotally,  I do feel better when I do not eat a lot of carbs and have been staying away from gluten 95% of the time until my follow up.  History: I had an emergency bowel obstruction operation in August 2021 for a double closed loop obstruction, open surgery removed 40 cm of my small intestine, my appendix, cecal valve and illeocectomy. Beside the fact that this put me in the situation of no longer being able to absorb Vitamin B12  from my diet and having to  inject Vit B 12 2x a month, I also became Iron deficient and am on EOD iron to keep my levels high enough to support my Vitamin B12 injections, as well as daily folic acid. I tested positive for pernicious anemia in 2022 but most recently that same test came back negative. Negative Intrinsic Factor. My results from the biopsies showed 2nd part of Duodenum, small bowel Mildly patch increased intraepithelial lymphocytes with intact villious architecture. Comment: Duodenal biopsies with normal villous architecture and increased intrepithelial lymphocytes (Marsh I lesion) are found in 1-3% of patients undergoing duodenal biopsy, and an association with celiac disease is well established however the specificity remains low. Similar histologic findings may be seen in H pylori gastritis, NSAID and other medication use including olmesartan, bacterial overgrowth, tropical sprue and certain autoimmune disorders. So my GI ordered Labs for Celiac confirmation: Sorry I couldn’t upload a photo or pdf so typed below: TEST NAME                               IN RANGE and/or RESULTS RESULTS:  IMMUNOGLOBULIN A :           110 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG, IGA)                            <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGA)                                     <1.0 GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG)                                    <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE ANTIBODY, IGG, IGA TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGG                                     <1.0 TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA                                     <1.0 INTERPRETATION: <15.0 ANTIBODY NOT DETECTED  > OR = 15.0 ANTIBODY DETECTED RESULTS: HLA TYPING FOR CELIAC DISEASE INTERPRETATION (note The patient does not have the HLA-DQ associated with celiac disease variants) More than 97% of celiac patients carry either HLA-DQ2 (DQA1*05/DQB1*02) or HLA-DQ8 (DQA1*03/DQB1*0302) or both. Genetic counseling as needed. HLA DQ2 : NEGATIVE HLA D08: NEGATIVE HLA VARIANTS DETECTED: HLA DA1* : 01 HLA DA1* : 05 HLA DQB1*: 0301 HLA DQB1*: 0501 RESULTS REVIEWED BY: Benjamin A Hilton, Ph.D., FACMG I appreciate any input, thank you.

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.
