I just got some information on the Canadian Celiac Association National Conference in 2006. The conference will be held in Toronto at the Renaissance Airport Hotel from May 26-28 2006 (Week-end). This is the info that I have so far:

Celiacs in the City

"Come and celebrate the Toronto Chapter's 25th Anniversary at the Canadian Celaic Association National Conference on May 26-28, 2006. Award winning chef James Piggott of the Renaissance Airport Hotel welcomes the opportunity to create menus of unprecedented flavour in the world of gluten-free dining for everyone to enjoy. Every plate will be a work of art. Don't miss the feast! Hear Canadian and international reseach experts on the latest developments in Celiac Disease research, diagnosis and treatment. Meet exhibitors and sample their new and delicious gluten-free products".

More info can be found here: Open Original Shared Link

or at this # National Office 1-800-363-7296

I am planning on going and I will post more info once I get it :D

Great! I was hoping that some people from the board would be going :)

I went to the conference this year in Edmonton

How was it? I didn't go, but it seems like these conferences are a lot of fun and informative.

I had a lot of fun at this years conference in Edmonton. There were a lot of informative speakers including Dr. Peter Green who was great. There were a lot of distributors there with product samples, and of course some for sale. I brought an empty suitcase with me so that I could bring home lots of stuff and I did. I got to meet some of the Vancouver Chapter members that I hadn't met before. The food was amazing. It was sponsered by kinnikinnick so that was yummy. They even had a free shuttle from the conference to the retail store of kinnikinnick. I didn't know that they made so many delicious treats. I got there the day before the conference so I got to explore the West Edmonton Mall. It was my first time in Edmonton so it was nice to have the chance to see it.

yea! :) I hope to see you there! I'm planning on living near the Toronto area by then so I won't have far to go either ;)

KarenCM - it looks like the conference was a lot of fun with lots of yummy treats! I can't wait for the one in Toronto.

That's great :D You should be able to stay at the Renaissance Airport Hotel (where the conference will be), but you may have to book way in advance. Other than that I am not too familiar with the area. I will keep everyone posted once I get new information :)

Do you think this would be beneficial for an American to go to? I've never been to a conference so I don't know exactly what they talk about, if it is more country specific with products and laws, etc. My husband's family lives near Toronto, so I was thinking I could combine a trip.

I personally think it would be great for you to go to a conference in Canada. For example at the one that I just went to there was info about osteoporosis and celiac, diabetes, babies and celiac, proper testing to get done, research being done, tons of great food to eat and buy and great people to meet as well.

I found the program from the Celiac Association National Conference that was in

Edmonton, AB this year. Open Original Shared Link

I am assuming the one in Toronto would be similar, but then again I don't know for sure since I have never been to one of these before. I will post the Toronto program once it comes out. Hope you can come :)

I would like to go. It gives us another reason to make a trip up there. When I checked out airline tickets that far in advance they are $800 a piece! Ouch! I'll have to research that more.

ooo, that is pricy :blink:

I don't know about the US, but plane tickets to Toronto within Canada can be very cheap (depending from where you're flying from) like under $100 if you look in the right places and the right times. I've just heard this from people though, so unfourtunatly I don't know many details. I hope you find a good deal :)

Are any of you still planning on attending the conference? Not sure if it's worth going.

Any Torontonians interested in checking out some gluten-free restaurants? Might be fun.

Back when I started this thread I thought that I was going to be living in the Toronto area by now. But plans have changed and I won't be going to the conference :( I can't afford to fly or drive down and stay right now.

Ah well maybe next year.

For those of you who are going, let me know how the conference goes!

If anyone wants to fly into Buffalo or Hamilton instead, I can supply you with a ride.

I wish they would have one of these National things in Saskatoon or Regina...of course I've never even been able to get to the Chapter meetings...but this National one would be awesome experience. The closest its been to me in the last 3 years was Edmonton, and that itself was 13 hours away!

      Gluten-Free Diet Linked to Reduced Inflammation and Improved Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis (+Video)

      I worried at one point on my journey whether I had MS, having many of the symptoms myself. However, my symptoms improved dramatically with high dose thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. Thiamine deficiency symptoms overlap with MS symptoms, including changes on brain MRIs. Thiamine deficiency affected my eyes (light sensitivity),...

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

Yes, we have been aware that this can be an issue with mushrooms but as long as they are rinsed thoroughly it should not be a problem since the mushrooms don't actually incorporate the gluten into their cellular structure. For the same reason, one needs to be careful when buying aged cheeses and products containing yeast because of the fact that they are sometimes cultured on gluten-containing substrate.

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
