Upcoming EVENT:
Gluten Sensitivity and Other Inflammatory Aspects of our Modern World: An
Introduction to 'Anti-Inflammatory Living' Presented by: Dr. Kenneth Fine, MD,
noted gastroenterologist and researcher
WHEN: Monday, April 9th, 2007
TIME: 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
WHERE: St. Luke's Health Education Center, 3333 Squalicum Parkway,
Bellingham, WA
WHO: Everyone interested in his or her health is invited, FREE admission
According to the National Institutes of Health, Celiac Disease is an
autoimmune disorder that is estimated to affect 1 in 133 people living in the United
States or approximately 1% of the population*.
The only effective way to manage the disease is to eliminate gluten from
your life. This can be more difficult than it sounds because gluten is found in
many of the foods people take for granted. It is an ingredient in most
packaged foods, baked goods and even such non-food items as playdough, lotions,
detergents and lipsticks. Unfortunately, a person who is undiagnosed or does not
effectively manage his condition can develop a variety of potentially
life-threatening conditions. Celiac Disease and/or gluten sensitivity has been
associated with certain lymphomas, diabetes, liver dysfunction and a myriad of
other autoimmune and health disorders.
*Research indicates that a much broader segment of the population suffers
from milder forms of gluten intolerance, which may result in other autoimmune
conditions, inflammation, and a general lack of well being.
BGIG is committed to educating the general public about Celiac Disease and
gluten intolerance, as well as offering support for any one whom is sensitive
or allergic to wheat. We hope that this presentation will help to develop a
healthier Whatcom County. Please join us for an interesting and educational
evening!
