  • Anne's Notes from GIG's 2008 Annual Conference - Dallas.

    "The conference title, It's All About Food lived up to its name. Both the food served at the meals and the food samples from the vendors were fabulous. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity is beginning to get attention. Dr Murray, Dr. Fasano and Dr Pietzak all mentioned they see patients who do not have CD but symptoms improve when they are GF. Danna Korn and Carol Fenster are both GF but have never been diagnosed with CD. Dr. Wangen spoke about non-celiac gluten intolerance. GIG supports people with gluten intolerances. Nothing was said about non-celiac gluten intolerance at the first conference I attended. Progress is being made.
