There are 2 tracks -beginning and advanced. There is also a track for medical professionals and one for teens. The planning committee has been working hard on this since August. I hope you will see some topics and speakers that are of interest to you.

May be pricey for some. Are there day-of volunteer opportunities in exchange for admission?

I haven't heard about a scenario like this, but I will ask. Our next planning meeting is on the 28th. :) There are some scholarships available. There should be information on how to apply on the website.

Hi Colleen,

Is it too late to sign up to be an exhibitor? Where would I find information on this?

Thanks! Looking forward to it :)

It's not too late. PM me your contact information (email address, company name and/or website, etc). I can make sure an exhibitor packet gets out to you. I'm on the exhibitor committee too. :)

      By lmemsm · Posted

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Sainsbury's Free From White Sliced Bread - Now Egg Free - Completely Ruined It

      More great tips, and a good excuse to shop at M&S and also buy more iced buns!   I wish we had an ASDA near us, as the few times we've been to one their gluten-free pasta range seemed very reasonably priced compared to other shops.  Thanks so much, @Russ H.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.
