An estimated 3 million Americans suffer from celiac disease, indicating it
is no longer a rare condition. Of those, 9 out of 10 cases go undetected or
are misdiagnosed.
Break Through the Gluten Sensitivity Myth!
Are you ready to effectively diagnose, treat, and stabilize wheat/gluten
intolerance through advanced nutritional strategies that address all the
affected body systems — and not just the gastrointestinal (GI) tract?
Contrary to popular notion, gluten sensitivity can affect body systems
beyond the GI tract. In addition to celiac disease — a multi-symptom,
multi-system disorder — gluten intolerance is now identified as a
contributing factor in a wide range of conditions, such as:
• Attention deficit disorder • Depression
• Anxiety • Chronic fatigue syndrome
• Migraine headaches • Ataxia
• Osteoporosis • Rheumatoid arthritis
• Type 1 diabetes • Autoimmune thyroid diseases
• Peripheral neuropathies • And more
Join Dr. Tom O’Bryan, an internationally ranked chiropractor and practicing
graduate of the Institute for Functional Medicine’s Applying Functional
Medicine in Clinical Practice, as he dispels the myths regarding gluten
intolerance and celiac disease, and uncovers their role in these
increasingly common disorders.
Key Clinical Takeaways:
• Discover the history and incidence of gluten intolerance and celiac
disease
• Recognize the possible association of gluten intolerance and celiac
disease with extra-intestinal manifestations
• Understand the differential diagnosis of celiac disease and gluten
intolerance — serology, examination findings, and in-office examination
clues
• Learn effective treatments for conditions associated with different stages
of gluten intolerance and celiac disease (acute, chronic, and rebuilding of
damaged tissue)
• Understand the importance of early testing and follow-up monitoring
Attendees will receive:
Leading-edge clinical strategies to diagnose and treat patients suffering
from the non-gastrointestinal effects of wheat and gluten sensitivity
Stay ahead of the curve! Don’t miss this opportunity to learn how to
effectively diagnose and treat a wide range of clinical manifestations
associated with gluten sensitivity!
