The West End Gluten Intolerance Group’s (TWEGIG’s) November Meeting—No, Shirley is not on the agenda for this one, but this meeting on non-celiac gluten intolerance should not be missed! It will be a “doubleheader” with presentations by Drs. Rodney Ford and Stephen Wangen. Dr. Ford is a pediatric gastroenterologist, allergist, and nutritionist from New Zealand. He is also known as Doctor Gluten. Dr. Wangen is the director of the IBS Treatment Center, in Seattle, WA. Dr. Both are well versed and passionate about the topic of non-celiac gluten intolerance. The program will start at 5:30 and there will be a pot luck dinner. Personally, I can’t wait to hear Drs. Wangen and Ford speak! Hopefully, we’ll have several of us riding down together.
