Columbia Presbyterian Celiac Education Day 2005

Hi,

Last year I went to this event in NYC--I also met Molly from this board (flagbabyds). The program is in New York City, and it's coming up pretty soon. It can't compare to the annual GIG seminar, but for a one day thing with something like 1/4 of the price tag, it's not bad at all...really fun and you will surely learn something new. I was skeptical when I went to my first conference last year...was worried of being let down and knowing everything (lol :lol: ) but it turned out I learned a lot. I don't really need to explain it, because I have links to do the talking.....

My mom and I have already registered...if anyone else is going, I would be thrilled to meet you...so definitely let me know if you're going and give a rough physical description so I might be able to recognize you..... :P

The 4th annual Patient Education Day at the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia is coming up soon!

Saturday, September 10th

8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Columbia University Medical Center

Hammer Building

701 West 168th Street, 4th Floor

New York, NY

Patient Education Day includes 19 educational sessions on adult and pediatric celiac disease, an extensive teen program, and children's activities throughout the day.

Complete program information and registration is available at www.celiacdiseasecenter.columbia.edu

For those of you not familiar with New York City, Columbia University Medical Center is located very near the George Washington Bridge. Driving there is easy, as the medical center is just a few blocks from Route 9A (Henry Hudson Parkway).

For further information, please contact Cynthia Beckman at the Celiac Disease Center, cb2280@columbia.edu

I really wanted to but unfortunately I can't make it. I have to meet with the rabbi for my wedding. I figure I'm really not religous but I've gotta assume cancelling plans to meet the man that is going to marry me would be slightly frowned upon ;)

Hey, guys! It was yesterday and I really enjoyed it once again. I don't have the time to elaborate right now--just getting on quickly. The education day will be in June next year--as the International Symposium they're hosting--the largest Celiac gathering in the world that varies in venue each year. Last time it was in Ireland I heard. There are doctors, researchers, nutritionists, patients, etc.

      Welcome to the forum, @TerryinCO! Do you know what blood tests were ordered? Was it for like you would have done for an annual physical (CBC/CMP) or celiac disease specific antibody tests? I find it interesting that your GI doc did the endoscopy and biopsy before he/she ordered blood tests to check for celiac disease, assuming the blood tests ordered were indeed specific for celiac disease. Normally, the sequence is the other way around. Was the GI doc doing the endoscopy for some other reason in the first place? The endoscopy/biopsy is considered the gold standard for celiac diagnosis so I also find it interesting that the doc reflexively felt a need to order blood work as well.  Just a heads up in case the bloodwork ordered was not specific for celiac antibodies: Going on a gluten-free diet before the blood draw for celiac antibody testing is done will likely invalidate the testing. You probably know this already but hypothyroidism (Hashimoto's disease) is common in the celiac population and there is a statistical correlation. And then there is the weight loss. And I assume you have suffered with GERD for a long time and that is what led to the Barret's. All symptoms of celiac disease.

      ...so lotsa questions and unknowns for me.  Gastro Doc did an endoscopy and found villi damaged so Celiac is suspect/known.  Subsequent blood work done and am awaiting evaluation from  NP or Doc. I've started gluten free diet and that's going well.  I don't have any real symptoms but have lost ~ 10# over last year or so....180 down to 170 ( I'm about 6'0 and always been on the scrawny side).  I'm 76 and up to now have not  had Celiac/gluten issues, but do take hypothyroid meds, and diagnosed/treated for Barret's Esophigus. I'm exploring the site here - looks like a lot of info available.  Talk with you later. Make yourself a great day! Terry

      @EricaFilpi, please tell us more about your recovery...did you need to take iron infusions or supplements? What other supplements are you taking? I'll assume you've been gluten-free since August.

      We have been tested and tested negative. But we have not done the gene testing.

      So true, @trents, I was a skeptic myself!
