NO MEETING or CELIAC 101 FOR NTGIG ON JULY 4th North Texas GIG will NOT be having a meeting or Celiac 101 Class on Saturday, July 4th, as it is a holiday. NTGIG’s next meeting will be on Saturday, August 1 at North Richland Hills Church of Christ, 6300 NE Loop 820, N. Richland Hills, TX 76180. On Saturday, August 1, our guest speaker will be Dr. Stephen Wangen of the Irritable Bowel Treatment Center, www.IBSTreatmentCenter.com, who will be speaking and presenting his new book, Healthier Without Wheat, www.HealthierWithoutWheat.com. Information on Dr. Wangen is below: Lecture Synopsis
for Healthier Without Wheat: Dr. Stephen Wangen presents his critically acclaimed 2009 book, Healthier Without Wheat: A New Understanding of Wheat Allergies, Celiac Disease, and Non-Celiac Gluten Intolerance. Dr. Wangen will review the process that led to the writing of this book and will cover the major aspects of Healthier Without Wheat. These include how and why people react to wheat and to gluten, and the numerous signs and symptoms (over 200) that are associated with gluten intolerance. Of major focus will be a discussion on how and why celiac disease only represents a small fraction of those with gluten intolerance, and why celiac disease is not necessarily worse than other forms of gluten intolerance. You will leave with a much better appreciation for the wide range of issues related to gluten intolerance and an understanding of how to determine whether or not someone is gluten intolerant. Bio: Dr. Wangen is a licensed and board certified gluten intolerant physician and the founder and Medical Director of the IBS Treatment Center (www.IBSTreatmentCenter.com) located in Seattle, WA . He is on the Board of Trustees of the Gluten Intolerant Group of North America and lectures nationally on the topic of gluten intolerance. He published his first book, The Irritable Bowel Syndrome Solution, in 2005.
