Title: The Gluten, Leaky Gut, Autoimmune Connection Total Hours: 6.0 CEU Hours 1-Day Seminar Presented By: Joshua Redd, DC, MS, DABFM, DAAIM Developed By: Datis Kharrazian, PhD, DHSc, DC, MS, MMSc, FACN Course Description and Objectives This course is designed to educate the healthcare professional in understanding the basic physiology, mechanisms, and key concepts regarding gluten sensitivities. The topics presented will include understanding how to distinguish between gluten sensitivities and celiac disease. In addition, we will review how other systems influence and affect gut health and will present strategies to support proper gut function and physiology. A review of human physiology will be followed by laboratory applications, differential diagnoses, and clinical applications. Attendees will also be presented case studies with clinical applications, assessment, and health maintenance including dietary, lifestyle, and nutritional support from an evidence-based approach/model, and when to refer for further consultation and/or evaluation. Important clinical jewels and insights will be discussed. Upon completion of this seminar, attendees will be able to: Understand the difference between gluten sensitivities and celiac disease Have a basic understanding of gluten epitopes, proper gluten sensitivity testing, and testing of gluten cross-reactive foods Understand the mechanisms of leaky gut and associated vicious cycles and other broader physiological impacts on gut health Utilize practitioner tips and insights into dietary and nutritional support strategies for health maintenance from an evidence-based approach/model Identify cases that need to be referred for further consultation and/or evaluation Title: The Gluten, Leaky Gut, Autoimmune Connection Total Hours: 6.0 CEU Hours 1-Day Seminar Presented By: Joshua Redd, DC, MS, DABFM, DAAIM Developed By: Datis Kharrazian, PhD, DHSc, DC, MS, MMSc, FACN Course Description and Objectives This course is designed to educate the healthcare professional in understanding the basic physiology, mechanisms, and key concepts regarding gluten sensitivities.
