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. =)

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.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It seems like you have two choices--do a proper gluten challenge and get re-tested, or just go gluten-free because you already know that it is gluten that is causing your symptoms. In order to screen someone for celiac disease they need to be eating gluten daily, a lot of it--they usually recommend at least 2 slices of wheat bread daily for 6-8 weeks before a blood screening, and at least 2 weeks before an endoscopy (a colonoscopy is no used to diagnose celiac disease). Normally the blood panel is your first step, and if you have ANY positive results there for celiac disease the next step would be to take biopsies of your villi via an endoscopy given by a gastroenterologist.  More info on the blood tests and the gluten challenge beforehand is below: The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:   Not to discourage you from a formal diagnosis, but once you are diagnosed it may lead to higher life and medical insurance rates (things will be changing quickly in the USA with the ACA starting in 2026), as well as the need to disclose it on job applications. While I do think it's best to know for sure--especially because all of your first degree relatives should also get screened for it--I also want to disclose some negative possibilities around a formal diagnosis that you may want to also consider.

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
