I would go but that is when I am having surgery, and I can't go out of town then. I would think that a lot of people go because GIG is a big group all across the country. You should defenitley go, it should be really fun.

GIG is the Gluten Intolerance Group and this is their website:

Open Original Shared Link

I went to the GIG conference three years ago and loved it. Lots of good information and vendors and meals you don't have to worry about. Hundreds of people will be there. I wish I could go again this year but it just won't work.

Surgery? What's the surgery for?

Much, much better than the CSA, right Richard? :lol:

Hmmm...I would love to go to something like that...I'll start working on my parents :lol:

Never been to a CSA conference so I can't say how good they are. You know what I think of the organization's stance on things, though.

      Yes, wheat is common in most soy sauces now because it speeds up the fermenting process.

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.
