Thank You Dr. Wangen For Coming To New Westminister, British Columbia And Speaking About Gluten Intolerance
Dr. Stephen Wangen came to New Westminister last Sunday, February 13th, 2011 to speak about gluten intolerance. Dr. Wangen gave a very informative talk and shared his views about gluten intolerance, some information about diagnostic practices and his views around follow-up care. Throughout his presentation, he shared many studies with the group, a number of case examples, and I really liked the way he explained everything to the participants with an easy to understand approach that everyone seemed to enjoy.

Have You Been Diagnosed With Irritable Bowel Syndrome? You Could Be Having Immune Reactions To Food!
I was misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome for 5 years prior to my diagnosis with celiac disease. Unfortunately, I have talked to many other people who have been misdiagnosed with this syndrome as well. Some individuals really had a gluten intolerance (celiac disease, dermatitis herpetiformis, or non-celiac gluten intolerance), some had food allergies (IgA, IgG, and IgE antibody mediated), and others appeared to find relief on a paleolithic diet.

Fact Or Fiction?: Celiac Patients Tolerate Hydrolyzed Wheat
Researchers are attempting to modify grains with the hope that it will eliminate immune reactions to the gluten within it. The belief is that a new modified product, such as hydrolyzed wheat, might give people who are diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, another option for food. A switch to a hydrolyzed wheat diet for others might also help to decrease the risk of developing a gluten intolerance. This research sounds promising and the end product may be beneficial.
