A Canadian Celiac Podcast: Recent Episodes
Sue Jennett: gluten free baker and podcaster
A Canadian Celiac Podcast will explore information, research, lifestyle issues and personal stories of individuals who have celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. The host, Sue Jennett has access to some of the prominent minds and personalities in the celiac/gluten free community in Canada. You will learn about new initiatives of the Canadian Celiac Association and how they can benefit you. Sue counts more than 20 years since both she and her daughter have been diagnosed with celiac disease. During that time, she has operated a gluten free bakery, run a celiac kids camp, and is currently producing and hosting a gluten free baking show on cable TV in Ontario. Join Sue’s weekly conversations, as she delves into all things celiac and gluten free.
Heading off to university is an exciting milestone, but for students living with celiac disease, it can also bring unique challenges. From dining halls and shared kitchens to residence life and managing independence, maintaining a strict gluten-free lifestyle on campus requires planning and confidence.
In this episode, Sue welcomes Anna Cowan, a university student living with celiac disease, and Manisha Kothary, whose daughter has just completed her first year of university. Together, they share practical tips, personal experiences, and valuable lessons learned about navigating campus life safely while staying gluten-free.
Whether you're a student preparing for your first semester, a parent helping your child transition to university, or someone looking for strategies to manage celiac disease away from home, this conversation offers encouragement, insight, and plenty of real-world advice.
What you'll learn:
- How to prepare for residence and campus dining
- Communicating gluten-free needs to university staff and roommates
- Tips for staying safe in shared kitchens and social situations
- The realities of managing celiac disease independently
- Advice for both students and parents during the transition to university life

Tune in and make this your most confident gluten-free summer yet!
In this special episode, Melissa Secord of Celiac Canada is joined by Floris van Overveld (AOECS) and Marilyn Geller (Celiac Disease Foundation) to discuss a major step forward in gluten-free labelling.
Recorded during Celiac Awareness Month, they break down new Codex guidelines for precautionary allergen labelling—designed to reduce confusing "May Contain" statements and improve trust in gluten-free products.
Tune in to learn what this global milestone means for the celiac community.
In this episode, Caleigh McAulay, RD, is joined by Aiden LeJeune, a young advocate using his voice to raise awareness, and Julie Greene, a parent navigating life with a child living with celiac disease. Together, they talk about what it's really like growing up gluten-free—from school and social situations to gaining independence as a young adult.
Caleigh also explores the importance of youth advocacy and how programs like Celiac Canada's Kids Teach Kids Day are helping empower the next generation to share their stories, educate others, and create change.
This is my last podcast episode, Celiac Canada will be steering the ship from now on as I transfer the podcast to them. An exciting time for me as I know that Celiac Canada will be able to do amazing things when they take over. This podcast has two parts: first, I speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles she has brought to our attention over the past month, and; second Ellen and Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet discuss some thoughts and memories about the podcast over the years. My first episode was a conversation with Melissa Secord in January, 2018 and I'm finishing off with Episode 356 – lots of fun times!
Ellen and I talk about the CFIA recall of Gino Bambino Pizza Starter Kits from Costco due to mould (very unfortunate). We look at the evolving pathway to Diagnosis for adults in Italy where they seem to be ahead of the curve on this one. Ellen brings to our attention a study that was done regarding differing symptoms experienced by different ethnicities and races – something to think about. Dietary fibre is something we all know we need more of, but work being done at McMaster University with a helpful grant from the CCA's J.A. Campbell Fund, is finding that fibre may not be digested the same way in someone with celiac disease. They're also working on a specific gut bacteria which might make a real difference.
Ellen talks to us about an in-depth study on what can go wrong in a diagnosis or misdiagnosis, and the importance of the medical community understanding those weak points in the pathway, in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis sooner.
Recently, California passed legislation that requires food producers who make masa (which is used in corn tortillas among other things), to fortify their masa flour with folic acid, an essential nutrient. Lack of this nutrient is a cause for some serious birth defects which are more prevalent in the Latino population. Wheat flour has been fortified for many years, but our gluten free flours are not – this could be a big step.

After Ellen and I spoke about the "news", we brought Cinde Little everydayglutenfreegourmet.com into the conversation to reminisce about the years of podcasts. We share stories and inside jokes. I'm grateful that my friends took the time to share these special moments with me. I will miss doing the podcast, but I'm confident that Celiac Canada will be able to take it to new heights.

The big news is out. I am transferring my podcast over to Celiac Canada. I'm thrilled to be speaking to Melissa Secord, CCA Executive Director and Caleigh McAuley, RD with CCA about future plans for the podcast as well as plans for Celiac Awareness Month in May.
Melissa let us in some of the ideas and plans the CCA has for the podcast which will begin with Episode 357. I've got one more episode to record with Ellen Bayens for the beginning of May.
With Melissa and Caleigh sharing the hosting duties for the conversations, there are so many opportunities that the CCA can bring to the podcast. They have appointed Leah Vlasic as podcast producer, and I'm happy to help in any way I can.
Stay tuned for a different perspective and some amazing conversations.

It's the beginning of April and that means I have the opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen and I discuss a recent study that looks at how patients with celiac disease interact with their health care professionals. This is, of course dependent on the particular health care professional, but the study found that often celiac patients felt that their doctor was treating them with less respect as if they weren't very smart.
Ellen reminded us of the Conquer Study that you can still fill out. The study is looking at the experience of celiac adults as well as parents of celiac children. You can fill out the study at –

There has been a food recall for spice blends that Ellen brought to our attention. As well she told us about B Free products apparently being trialed in some Costco stores. The Fuller Bar, which was developed to be suitable for diabetics and is gluten free is available in some parts of BC and can be ordered online.

This podcast afforded me the distinct pleasure of having a conversation with both Registered Dietitian Selena De Vries and Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com.
Selena often shares her insights into ordering and eating at fast food restaurants – something most of us miss, and Ellen has extensive experience with eating safely at a variety of restaurants. Our conversation can help identify what the real concerns are, and how to both prepare prior to arriving at the restaurant as well as the language to help you make safe choices.
We all get concerned about travelling, especially internationally, and both Selena and Ellen have some great advice to make this experience safer and more rewarding.
All three of us acknowledge the value of community, both being a part of a larger gluten free community and, when you can, contributing to that community for the benefit of all.

It's the beginning of March 2026 and my opportunity again to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about studies and topics she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen and I tackle the tricky diagnosis of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NSGS). I say tricky, because currently science is still struggling to find a way to make a diagnosis of celiac symptoms when a patient doesn't have the genetic predisposition for celiac disease. This question has been looking for an answer for a long time, and we may now be close. The good thing about NCGS is that Celiac Canada has welcomed those patients who suffer from eating gluten but may not fit the celiac diagnosis. We all share the same struggle.
Ellen shares her thoughts on my recent podcast with Nicole Byrom RD about talking with children about a diagnosis of celiac disease. Nicole and I looked at this question from different scenarios and Ellen admitted that at the time when she was explaining her diagnosis to her children years ago, she missed some of the things that kids might read into the diagnosis.
Ellen shares a (trial) find of Promise Gluten Free Bread at Costco and updates us on the Chocolate Covered Cheesecake from M & M Foodmarket.

On this podcast I speak with Registered Dietician Nicole Byrom. Both Nicole and I have daughters with Celiac Disease. We break down our conversation into three portions – talking about a parent having celiac disease, talking about a diagnosis for the child, and talking about the diagnosis of a sibling. We also recognize that children require different approaches depending on their ages. We've broken down our discussions looking at different age groups – ages 5-10, ages 10-13 and ages 14+.

It's the beginning of February 2026 which means I can take the opportunity to speak again with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about news and information she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I spoke about a new app that may solve your problems with record-keeping for your gluten free food deduction on your taxes. We try and take some of they mysteries out of the ROME IV Criteria and its relationship with DGBI's. Below is the link to fill out the University of Alberta Survey.

On this podcast I speak with Cindi Little the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. I wanted to chat with Cindi to explore some of the ways gluten free convenience foods and mixes which have relatively recently exploded onto the market can be used in creative ways to be more satisfying and help us expand our daily menu selections.
Cindi and I speak about gluten free breaded chicken pieces that are now widely available as well as the many gluten free sauce and gravy mixes we find in our grocery stores. Cindi and I acknowledge that many people don't have access to the flours that would be used in traditional gluten free baking, but the abundance of gluten free baking mixes now available can go a long way to filling that gap.
You can find Cindi on her website Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet as well as on social media.

Hapy New Year! It's the beginning of January 2026 which means I can take the opportunity to speak again with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about news and information she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen speaks to us about a study done on children properly diagnosed with celiac disease who, after months on the gluten free diet and lower antibody numbers are still showing symptoms. The study may show a link between these symptoms and a condition called DGBI (Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction).
Ellen has informed us of the testing process of an app for our phones which is in development that will allow us to scan food labels and with the app using AI, it will determine if the food is gluten free or not. Both Ellen and I have praise and concerns about this one.
I explain to Ellen the continuing process of the Celiac Canada petition to government to allow for a tax "break" to compensate for our increased food costs. Ellen reminds us of the updated Gluten Free Fast Food Listings on her website for both Canada and the US. As well, Ellen fills us in on her test of a new pizza available at Costco and other cooking she did over the holidays.
If you have anything you'd like to hear Ellen and I discuss in our next conversation you can send me an email to acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com or to Ellen at ellen@theceliacscene.com.

On this podcast I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada regarding the recent petition that was up for signatures. The time to sign has now closed and I was interested in how successful the CCA was in getting signatures a second time for this petition, and what the next steps are to push for the reality to make gluten free more affordable in Canada.

It's the beginning of December 2025 which means to me that I get to catchup with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about information she has brought to our attention over the past month.
First, by December 6th, let me remind you about signing the e-Petition from Celiac Canada to request that the Federal Government consider a Gluten-Free Tax Credit. Here's a link to sign the digital e-Petition - https://www.celiac.ca/petition-high-cost-of-gluten-free-food/
Ellen and I also spoke about a Survey that is online from Conquer Studies through Dr. Diana Major and the University of Alberta regarding the cost of gluten free food for families. If you are an adult with celiac disease or the parent of a child with celiac disease, your opinion and experiences will help form a true picture of what Canadians are experiencing.
We talked about the Gluten-Free marketplace that was held recently in Charlottetown, PEI.
Ellen and I spoke about issues around AI and how that is affecting some recipe websites – the lesson here is to follow bloggers you know and trust.
Both Ellen and I have been travelling over the past couple of months, and we chat about some of the gluten-free aspects of our adventures.

On this episode I'm again speaking with Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet regarding a new way for those of us who want to cook and bake gluten free, whether it be for ourselves or for others.
Cinde has organized a membership group to try recipes, communicate and learn together how to cook and bake gluten free. She hopes to take the anxiety of trying new recipes with lots of tips to help you understand how gluten free can be delicious for the whole family. Cinde is creating a welcoming community – something we can all use.
Cinde also makes us aware of the negative effects of AI on the world of recipe bloggers. This is something to take note of as your time and money to make gluten free foods is valuable, so you want to be consulting trusted resources online.
You can find out more from Cinde online at everydayglutenfreegourmet and look into her membership community at everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/adventures-in-a-gluten-free-kitchen/
You can also find Cinde on Facebook and Pinterest at Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet, and on Instagram at everyday.gf.gourmet.

It's the beginning of November 2025 and my opportunity to discuss news and information that has come out in the past month with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen keeps us up to date on what's happening regarding celiac disease and gluten free.
First, let me urge you to sign the petition Celiac Canada is putting forth to the federal government regarding the cost of gluten free food and how they can assist the celiac population. This is a re-issue of the petition from last year, as unfortunately it died when an election was called. Last time we received more than 26,000 signatures. Let's try for 30,000 this time. Please click the link and send it on to anyone else who you think is interested on our behalf. You can find out more and sign the petition at –
https://www.celiac.ca/petition-high-cost-of-gluten-free-food/
Ellen and I spoke at length about some of the information that came from the recent International Celiac Conference in Finland. Melissa Secord from the CCA was part of a Canadian "team" attending who did a great job presenting and interacting with experts from all over the world. We touched on research regarding a promising advancement in testing for celiac disease by a simple blood test. We also speak about research to try and "turn-off" the celiac switch and learn more about that.
We learn why some people who think they might be celiac, might instead need to be on a temporary FODMAP diet to reset their digestive system with the help of a dietician.
Here are the links to theceliacscene.com that Ellen and I spoke about –

On this podcast I take the opportunity to speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada regarding her recent attendance as part of the Canadian "team" at an international Celiac Conference in Finland.
First, let me remind you of the Step Up for Celiac fundraiser that is being held by Celiac Canada all across the country during the month of October.
https://www.celiac.ca/get-involved/stepupforceliac/
Melissa and I spoke about the presentations made at the conference and about discussions held with support organizations in other countries and their shared issues. The team that attended from Canada made presentations and networked with some of the top world experts in Celiac Disease. You can find out more on Melissa's blog from the Conference.

It’s the beginning of October, so my chance to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month. As well, I take the opportunity to discuss something that’s been on my mind for quite a while.
Ellen and I speak about a recent CFIA recall and you can get the full information here –
CFIA RECALL - Undeclared Wheat & Soy - Habibi Dubai Kunafa Pistachio Milk Chocolate
We talk about a new product from M &M (I did try it - this one is amazing) –
New! M&M Mini Chocolate Torte Duos!
O’Dough’s has just updated their website. It’s well organized, simple to understand and simple to order from. The prices are pretty good too! - O'Doughs' New Website! ‘Bake! Life! Better!'
We also spoke about Selena DeVries RD and the wealth of information she gives to us on a ongoing basis -
SELENA RD, INSTAGRAM CORNER
Advice I'd give my best friend if she were diagnosed Gluten free but still having gut issues What's been the worst gluten-free meal you been served at a restaurant? What’s the most surprising place you’ve found hidden gluten? Can we eat products that contain“glucose syrup (wheat).” How do we explain that we cannot eat 'just a little bit of gluten?' Free! Celiac Symptom Relief Starter Guide
I take some of Ellen’s time to talk about something that’s been on my mind for a while and that is the changing landscape of experiences having celiac disease and how community plays a part in that.

Over this past summer I’ve been asked by different people if I know of a local dietician who is particularly knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. Unfortunately, I have to say I don’t, but there is a great solution for us with Selena DeVries RD, as she has an online practice, can be paid by many healthcare plans and she herself is celiac.
In our conversation, Selena explains how to deal with ongoing symptoms even if you’ve been symptom free for a long time. She explains how lactose issues as well as thyroid issues can develop as we age – something that was news to me. Selena also talks us through how, by having her online practice, she can work directly with your doctor.

It’s the beginning of September, so my chance to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month.
During August, Ellen visited the Kinnikinnick storefront in Edmonton and the pictures she took of the amazing baked goods would make any celiac’s mouth water. My Visit to Kinnikinnick Foods' Store Front in Edmonton
Ellen published a study about teens with celiac disease and the link with body image and potential mental health issues – this is a must read for parents of celiac children. There is good news in that the teens who strictly adhered to the gluten free diet were less likely to have body image and anxiety issues. Body Image Dissatisfaction, Depression & Anxiety in Celiac Teens
The big news on the scientific front is a newly formulated “atlas” of the cells in the gut differentiate which cells are involved in the gluten reaction. This new discovery will aid researchers world-wide in targeting therapies and even a cure in the future. New Understanding | How the Small Intestine Reacts to Gluten in Celiac Patients
Ellen has updated her Fast Food Dining page for the US. This list takes you to the webpages of different fast food restaurants and what they say regarding gluten and allergens in their restaurants – an invaluable guide. UPDATED! Gluten-Free Guide to Fast Food Dining - USA
I was able give an update on the community partners and their donations to Celiac Camp – Purest Gluten Free, O’Doughs, Only Oats, Schar, Kinnikinnick Foods, FreeYumm, Rizopia, Gutsies, Pilling Foods, Cavendish Farms, Corn Thins & Royal Nuts. With great appreciation – Thank You!

This second part of the wrap up conversation with Ellen focused more on the experiences I had in the varied restaurants where we ate on our trip. Breakfast was usually the same and eaten in the hotel room, lunch was on the road and dinner was normally after we’d checked in to our hotel – but those were the only constants. I enjoy different ethnic cuisines, and I treated myself often.
Ellen and I spoke not only about fast food places which primarily made up our lunch choices, but franchise restaurants and why in both cases these can often be your best choices for a gluten free meal.
If you’re not familiar with Cinde Little and her recipes, here’s the link to the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet as well as a link to The Celiac Scene where you’ll find everything Ellen Bayens is working on for us.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to make this trip with my daughter, to experience so much of what a Canadian road trip offers and as well tick a couple of things off my bucket list. Thanks for taking the time to join me while I travelled and now while I look back on a wonderful opportunity to see so much of Canada and do it safely gluten free.

On this podcast I get to catch up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about the articles and information she has brought to our attention over the past month. Summer is usually a slow time when it comes to releasing information about studies and new products, but as usual, Ellen has found some valuable information to share with us.
Selena DeVries RD has a new program to help celiac patients relieve some of their ongoing symptoms with dietary supplementation. Selena has also written about the Gluten Free Diet as only the first step in treating our celiac disease.
While I was in Calgary, I was invited for dinner by Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. Cinde made an amazing ice cream for dessert for me – Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream – and now wants to share the recipe with us (it was amazing!).
Big News – Ellen has updated her Guide to Fast Food Dining which directs us to the allergen pages of fast-food restaurants here in Canada. It’s easy to look up a restaurant this way without having to go through many links. Ellen has put the information at our fingertips.
New on the market – Gluten Free English Muffins from O’Dough’s. Look for them where you regularly shop (they’re sold out online!) – this is great news!

While I was recording my relatively short podcast episodes from “the road” travelling from Eastern Ontario to Vancouver Island, I mentioned that I would have to chat to Ellen about some things I encountered along the way in a future podcast. Here is the first part of that podcast chatting about things I learned from my road trip. The second part will be somewhat longer, as we kept talking, and that will be available in the middle of August.
Some things I learned included how important it was for me to have a fridge and microwave in our hotel room and how I utilized the breakfast provided, even though I couldn’t eat any of it. Also, how I planned for my trip to make the most of the opportunities to discover something new gluten free.
I’m hoping that my experiences will take some of the anxiety away from your future road trips. I had wonderful meals, met some great people, and saw a great many places along the way. And I got to meet two friends of the podcast whom I’d never met before – Cinde Little, Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet as well as Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene.

I’m back home from my road trip and am overdue talking to Ellen Bayens about things she has brought to our attention over the month of June on theceliacscene.com.
Ellen was excited to tell us about an experimental test for celiac disease coming out of Australia. The test involves drawing blood and introducing a form of gluten to the blood to look for a specific reaction to show that the individual has celiac disease. Both Ellen and I described this as a “game-changer” with many practical uses for diagnosis within our community. Hopefully this test will eventually become a common diagnostic tool worldwide.
A new study looks at the risk of kissing someone who has recently eaten gluten. It was a small study, but did indicate that the risk under the controlled circumstances was less than 20ppm and not a serious concern.
Ellen and I spoke about the contributions Mike Rose made to the celiac community. Mike passed away earlier this year, but he is remembered for his years as a celiac volunteer and educator. I spoke to Mike about his investigation to find a safe retirement home for him and his wife. Ellen was helped by Mike when she first found out she needed to eat gluten free. Mike will be missed by many.
Ellen was contacted again this year regarding her local school board looking for host families for international students who require a gluten free diet. There is a need for host families across the country, so if this is something you would like to do, please contact your local school board to see if there is a need in your area.
I’ll be recording with Ellen in the next week about things I learned during my recent gluten free road trip from Ontario to Vancouver Island.

I made it to my final destination of Comox British Columbia where my daughter was joining her boyfriend who had been stationed there earlier this year. A very long trip but they organized for an apartment and everything went very smoothly.
While staying in a hotel before they got their keys, we went out for breakfast to Smitty’s (the GF dedicated restaurant in town was too busy to take us which is great for them!) I spoke to the server at Smitty’s about gluten free and she was very knowledgeable. I try to order relatively simply when they don’t say anything on the menu, but have the knowledge. I had eggs over easy, bacon and potato shreds which were all done on the flattop away from any pancakes. I had a very satisfying and filling breakfast!
We were finally able to grocery shop and cook for ourselves which made meals easier in the apartment, but there were still restaurants I wanted to try. We had dinner at a dedicated gluten free restaurant called Off the Hook. Crab cakes are something delicate that I love, but usually can’t have, but at this restaurant I could have them and they were terrific! I also had the fish and chips, which were some of the best. I’m so spoiled!
My daughter saw a gluten free bakery just outside of Comox on the highway, which she thought I’d be interested in. It was not what I expected – from a storefront perspective – but the food I bought was amazing. They had and extensive line of bread and cookies and tarts and buns all gluten free and also with keto and dairy free in mind. I need to discuss this bakery more with Ellen.
My last restaurant stop was at Taco Bandido in Courtney. Most things on the menu could be made gluten free and I was happy when the server said the chef would clean off a portion of the cook top to ensure no gluten came into contact with my tacos. I had the Beef Birria tacos once again to compare them the ones I had in Thunder Bay. Both were great, but these ones were so rich (yummy) that I could only eat half of the order and brought the rest back to the apartment with me.
I’m flying home tomorrow but will be recapping my trip with Ellen on a podcast in the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions for me please email them to acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com.

We spent the next night in Kamloops, and I was lucky enough to have pizza left from lunch, so that filled the spot for dinner. In the morning, we headed towards the ferry terminal south of Vancouver for the ferry to Victoria at 3pm. I wanted to get to the ferry early, which was a good thing as we met so much traffic leaving for the mountains for the long holiday weekend. I decided to get another taco salad from Wendy’s and enjoyed eating it while in the line for the ferry.
We arrived on Vancouver Island and drove to our hotel in downtown Victoria. I decided on an Indian restaurant a few blocks away called Sizzling Tandoor reported to have lots of gluten free options. They did, and I thoroughly enjoyed butter chicken, rice and poppadums which are thin chips usually made from lentil flour that are a great substitute for bread if they are made gluten free.
I have been looking forward to the next morning for so long. It was my opportunity to finally meet Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com whom I have been friends with for years but never met. Ellen made reservations for us to have brunch at one of her favourite restaurants – Six Mile Pub. We sat in the cozy gazebo on the patio, met with the chef and had the best gluten free meal I can remember. We asked the chef for three different dishes, and we were treated to creative steak & eggs, poached eggs and pancakes. Although they sound simple, these dishes were works of art and I savoured every bite. There’s nothing better than sharing an amazing meal with a good friend. Ellen and I could have talked for hours, but Trish and I had to be on our way heading for our final destination of Comox.
Ellen suggested we stop at the town of Ladysmith along the way to visit The Wild Poppy, a gluten free bakery. What a treat – I bought a massive blueberry scone, date square and butter tart. I’m so spoiled.
After arriving in Comox, Trish’s boyfriend met us, and we decided to try a burger place Ellen has raved about. The Big Wheel is worth the hype – no flax in the GF hamburger bun and a separate fryer – Perfect!
We’ve settled in here for a few days until I fly back to Ontario. Now I can try the gluten free options in Comox – more treats to come!

We left Regina on a nice sunny day and headed west. We stopped at Wendy’s (again) for lunch, but this time I had the taco salad – without the corn chips as apparently, they aren’t safe. You get a nice salad, a good portion of chili and some salsa. I poured the chili on the salad and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch in the car.
Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet was very kind to invite us for dinner at her home in Calgary that evening. She made a menu card especially for us. All the recipes came from her blog everydayglutenfreegourmet and they were delicious! Cinde even served edible flowers from her garden with the dessert and sent me home with a goodie bag!
Here’s the menu links –
Adobo Chicken Southwestern Quinoa Salad with Chipotle Mayo Steamed Green Beans Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with edible flowers Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies
We were actually staying in Airdrie, north of Calgary. We left from there to travel west through the mountains on our way to Kamloops for our next hotel stay. We looked ahead to find a restaurant that might suit as we are travelling with our small dog. We decided on The Turning Point in Golden BC. What a great find – they even had a doggie patio! They had two kinds of gluten free pizza – one had flax, so I was thankful there was another choice of a cauliflower crust pizza. Their pepperoni wasn’t gluten free so I opted for a ham and pineapple with onions and green peppers – Wow, it was amazing and I had enough to bring along with us to heat up later for dinner. Tomorrow we take the ferry to Victoria.

We arrived in Winnipeg in plenty of time to settle into our hotel and go to Montanas for dinner. I’ve eaten at Montanas a number of times and always get the ribs with Texas bold sauce and a baked potato with butter – very yummy!
I had my last sandwich on the road which worked out well as there aren’t many places for me to have a hot lunch on the Trans Canada Highway between Winnipeg and Regina. Once in Regina I was excited to go out for fish and chips at a very busy sports bar/restaurant called 4 Seasons. The owner’s wife is celiac and they have an extensive gluten free menu. My fish was wonderful and I was offered gf gravy to go with my chips which was a real treat.
We ended up staying longer in Regina than expected to get a small thing fixed on the car. We went to the science museum and ended up at The Lobby restaurant for a chicken Caesar salad for lunch – one of the best I’ve had!
We finished the night with chili and a baked potato from Wendy’s – always good and filling.
We’re leaving in the morning to get to Calgary where I’ve been invited for a very special dinner with a friend of the podcast – so looking forward to it.

We left Sault Ste. Marie in an intense thunderstorm, and rain and wind stayed with us on and off for the next couple of days. Our drive to Thunder Bay was very scenic, but so many trees and so much wilderness. Not many places to stop – I was glad I had my cold cuts and buns with me for lunch.
Once we arrived in Thunder Bay the restaurant I had picked out was a short walk from our hotel. It was a Mexican restaurant called Nortenos Taqueria. I got the Beef Birria – it was so yummy I started to eat it before I took the photo (there were originally 3 tacos). This restaurant has a gluten free fryer!
We stopped and took a photo with The Big Goose near Wawa (it was very windy).
We also drove by the longitudinal Centre of Canada – I never thought this was a thing, but it’s cool to think I was there.
Our next stop was in Winnipeg.

We left the Kingston area with a very full car for our trip to Vancouver Island to relocate my daughter. Our first night stop was in North Bay. We got takeout from Boston Pizza, which I always enjoy. Then after a good night’s sleep our next stop was the Big Nickel in Sudbury – very cool!
A friend recommended a gluten free bakery to me that was in Lively, west of Sudbury called Gluten Free Galore, but also goes by the name Amici. I bought white bread, two cupcakes, date squares, and sandwich buns which we put to good use for a picnic along our route. Our dinner was at a restaurant called La Anh (formerly Sunset Noodle House) – Yum.

It’s the beginning of June and again my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss interesting articles she has brought to our attention during May. Ellen and I start off talking about May being Celiac Awareness Month and the Light Up events held in her city of Victoria. We also mention a popular event of Gluten Free Food Drives that happen across the country during May.
We also talk about my recent podcast regarding the Gluten Free Expo in Vancouver on June 7th and 8th. We are then led into discussing gluten free sourdough bread and I express some of my observances around the commitment involved to make this amazing bread.
Ellen and I also discuss some of the posts Selena DeVries RD on her Instagram celiac_made_simple including a great hack to ensure you can get a gluten free blizzard at Dairy Queen.
Lastly, I talk about my plans with Ellen to drive across the country to Vancouver Island with my daughter who is relocating there. I’m thrilled that we will be able to finally meet in person and Ellen has some great plans for us and brunch!

Celiac Awareness Month always brings with the hope of spring and the renewal of the plants and flowers in our communities. If you live in a rural area or on a farm, spring brings many more wonders. I’m hoping that it also brings a renewal of your involvement in the celiac community, in person or maybe online. This month Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene and I speak about Celiac Awareness Month, in particular about the mascot for the campaign and some of the activities and promotion related to it. On celiac.ca you’ll find a graphic of “It Be” that’s ready for colouring.
If you’re able to promote celiac awareness month, or share other posts on social media, please be sure to use the hashtags –
#CeliacAwarenessMonth
#CeliacIsAChameleon
#GlutenFree
#CeliacCanada
Also, here is the link to the symptom checker – https:www.celiac.ca/celiac-disease-symptom-checklist
We also spoke about the new course that Selena DeVries RD is starting called The Confident Celiac. You can find Selena online at selenard.com and on Instagram at celiac_made_simple.
Ellen also gave me lots to think about with an article about using rice papers to make croissants. Sounds pretty crazy, but I’ll try over this month and report back.
Here are links from Ellen.

I love when I have recurring guests to catch us up on the podcast. Melissa Secord, the Executive Director of Celiac Canada is one of those treasured guests from many different episodes. You can find out more about our topics on Celiac Canada’s website celiac.ca.
With the election looming as I recorded with Melissa, she was able to tell me about the letter writing campaign CCA has instituted to send letters to each of the candidates in your electoral riding. This is amazing – all you have to do is fill in some identifying information and press submit and individual letters are sent on your behalf. CCA has crafted a letter explaining our concerns including the cost of gluten free food – our only medicine, tax relief in the form of a flat medical tax claim, and the impact of tariffs on our precious gluten free foods. I encourage you to submit a letter, it only takes a minute or so, to let your candidates know what is important to you.
Melissa gives us a sneak peek at the promotional campaign CCA is rolling out for May, Celiac Awareness month. You can find out more on the website regarding the campaign events and light ups across the country.
I was honoured to be awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in a ceremony presented by Celiac Canada in mid-March. Melissa gives us some background on the awards, some of the recipients and the awards ceremonies that took place across Canada. Melissa herself received an award, which was well deserved. The ceremony was a great opportunity to meet up with people I had spoken with on the podcast, or remember from past in-person conferences – it was truly a memorable occasion.

It’s the beginning of April, which means that I again have the pleasure of speaking with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. On this podcast Ellen and I speak about a new study that looks at vitamin deficiencies found with celiac disease and the gluten free diet. We also talk about gluten free food insecurity and Celiac Canada’s efforts to assist.
Ellen posted on social media about a restaurant posting a sign saying they were not able to meet the needs of those requiring a strict gluten free diet or with a serious food allergy. There is a story here that resulted in the sign which Ellen explains, but she received many varied responses to this issue with this particular restaurant. She also tells us about a sushi restaurant near her that goes above and beyond to ensure that many of their meals are gluten free and celiac safe. Ellen and I do love a good news story.
The topic of Artificial Intelligence is one that stirs many emotions and can be controversial. Ellen has found a study that used AI to look over thousands of biopsy results taken during celiac diagnosis and AI was found to be very accurate in identifying CD. AI is currently used in cancer diagnosis. This study prompted some lively discussion but in the end we’re both on the same page that whatever helps in the diagnosis journey is a good thing.
I was recently honoured by Celiac Canada with the presentation of the King Charles III Coronation Medal. I explain more about the award and the truly personal nature of the honour. I will include a couple of photos on my blog acanadianceliacblog.com.

On this episode I’m speaking with Megan who has been recently diagnosed with silent celiac disease, meaning she doesn’t experience any gastrointestinal symptoms she is aware of. Megan is also interested in behavioural eating and works with clients to undo years of dis-ordered eating. I speak to Megan about how she was diagnosed, as well as to how she’s coping as a silent celiac. Megan also gives us some insight into behaviours that you might notice in a celiac child than could indicate that the child is struggling with their behaviours around food. A parent of a celiac child often has a difficult time understanding how their child relates to food and Megan gives us some tips to look for as well as some suggestions you might consider.
You can find Megan online at https://partakemealplanning.com/ and on Instagram at partake_foodie.

It’s time again for me to talk with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles she has published and information she has provided to us over the past month.
Ellen and I opened our conversation talking about Starbucks and their statement on the safety of their stores for someone who needs to eat gluten free. Ellen hopes they would want to be a leader in gluten free as they have been in other aspects of their business, but it appears that’s not the case at the moment.
Does Starbucks Offer a Gluten-Free Guarantee?
I’m always fascinated with the approaches that researchers take to solving the puzzle of celiac disease. Ellen presents us with work being done on a vaccine which will hopefully allow our bodies to tolerate gluten. Researchers Work to Create Vaccine to Allow Celiacs to ‘Tolerate’ Gluten
Ellen and I discuss the uses for a genetic test you can take at home to identify those at risk of developing celiac disease. New At-Home Saliva Test Rules Out Genetic Risk of Developing Celiac Disease
A new study looks at the role dietary fibre plays in young children and how it effects their risk of developing celiac disease by age 13. Increased Dietary Fibre Intake Before Age Two Linked to Lower Celiac Disease Risk

I’ve been using the app Find Me Gluten Free on my phone for more than five years, but I always had some reservations about how to interpret the information I was finding. I decided to go right to the top and speak with the app’s creator Jason Elmore.
The app – Find Me Gluten Free has listings from around the world for restaurants, cafés and bakeries that offer gluten free food. Jason, himself celiac created the app as a place to list and review restaurants that offer gluten free.
I was able to ask Jason all my questions including how to best utilize crowd-sourced reviews and information. I’m often not very confident in the reviews of people I don’t know because I’m unsure of their level of understanding of the gluten free diet. I was pleased to find out that Jason not only had some great tips for reading through the reviews, but the app has incorporated some features to both allow the user to better evaluate the review/reviewer and set a standard for safety.
I encourage you to download the app, use it, and write reviews so the entire gluten free community can benefit from your experiences. If you have any further questions for Jason, or just want to send him some encouraging thoughts you can email him at -
jason@findmeglutenfree.com

The beginning of February is my opportunity to again speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about studies and articles she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I spoke about the findings of Dr. Diana Mager and her team at the University of Alberta regarding food insecurity in families with a celiac child or children. This is something I covered in a recent podcast with Dr. Mager and something that will help shape the response of Celiac Canada to this issue.
Food Insecurity for Celiac Children | A Canadian Celiac Podcast
Cost of Gluten-Free Diet Contributing to Food Insecurity
Ellen was able to give us a firsthand introduction to a link between Liver Disease and Celiac Disease that was looked at in a recent study.
Celiac Disease Linked to Chronic Liver Disease
We also talked about the new recipe phenomenon called egg bites or breakfast cups, which can easily be made gluten free. Ellen has given us the recipe from a trusted gluten free bakery near her. As well, we noted that M&M Food Markets has added a new gluten free dinner entrée to their extensive list of gluten free food.
Recipe Alert! Breakfast Egg Cups by Wild Poppy Bistro & Bakery New to M&M Food Market Introduces Thai Chicken Peanut Curry
Ellen mentioned Celiac Canada’s webpage regarding information for healthcare professionals in managing patients with celiac disease, which many people have found helpful in dealing with their doctors.

I always get excited to speak with a guest who can fill in some of the blanks in my knowledge about food insecurity for Celiacs in Canada. I work with Celiac Canada to help educate foodbanks to be able to serve our community better. Dr. Diana Mager and her team at the University of Alberta have, in the past, taken a great interest in the nutritional needs of celiac children in Canada (Podcast Episode 292 - https://bit.ly/Ep292CeliacKidsFoodGuide). More recently Dr. Mager and her team have completed a cross-Canada survey of families to determine the food insecurity issues in families with celiac children. Her article was recently published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition and even made the front cover! You can read the abstract here - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39467010/
Given the causes we know for food insecurity, Dr. Mager was able to identify other issues that were making it difficult for families to maintain a healthy gluten free diet for their celiac children.

It’s the beginning of a new month and a new year, which makes it a great time to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. On this episode Ellen and I talk about some big picture issues including a study regarding public policies and quality of life for celiacs around the world.
Public Policies vs Quality of Life for Celiacs
We look at one county in the UK that is changing the way celiacs are able to buy and have assistance with the purchase of gluten free food – is this just an experiment in one area to see what might happen on a national scale?
Bah Humbug! UK Scrapping Revered Gluten-Free Food Prescription Subsidy for Celiacs!
The Low FODMAP diet is again a topic of discussion as many celiacs are using it to over time, identify what might be causing them digestive issues once they are established on the gluten free diet.
Low-FODMAP Diet | Hope for Celiacs with Ongoing Symptoms?
Ellen introduces us to a new study using MRI technology to measure the impact of the gluten free diet on celiacs and compares it to those eating a standard diet. The study looks at newly diagnosed celiacs and then again at the same group after one year on the diet. Some interesting conclusions that could only be seen with MRI technology.
MRI Technology Measures Impact of Gluten-Free Diet on Celiacs
We also spoke about my recent podcast with Caleigh McAulay RD from Celiac Canada regarding people who are not celiac, but are eating a gluten free diet – how does this affect us?
Gluten-Free as a Trend | A Canadian Celiac Podcast
Recently Selena DeVries RD who is a good friend of both the podcast and The Celiac Scene, re-branded. You can find her now on –

Recently, I spoke with Melissa Secord and Caleigh McAulay, RD after they attended the International Symposium on Celiac Disease held in Sheffield UK this fall. During that conversation Caleigh mentioned a presentation that she found very interesting by Anne Lee, RD. The presentation was titled "Is the Gluten-Free Diet Always Portrayed Negatively".
I was interested to speak to Caleigh about this with a consideration as to who is eating gluten free besides those of us with celiac disease. Caleigh breaks it down for us and looks at the pros and cons of an expanded population eating gluten free. As well we talk about other people who feel the gluten free diet helps their medical conditions.
The research magazine from Celiac Canada regarding insights from the International Symposium is due to be mailed out before year end. I’m excited to read more about some of the scientific breakthroughs and testing of treatments for celiac disease. Very hopeful information at this time of year.

It’s hard to believe it’s December, but it’s another great opportunity to speak with my good friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I chat about things that she has published on her blog over the past month.
We start by talking about the podcast conversation I had with Celiac Canada’s Melissa Secord and Caleigh McAulay RD attending the International Symposium on Celiac Disease held in Sheffield UK earlier this fall. We talked about new paths to diagnosis, the 20 ppm standard for gluten free as well as the role of the different support groups internationally. Celiac Canada Report on International Celiac Symposium | A Canadian Celiac Podcast
Ellen tells us about a Spanish study to identifies that many healthcare professionals have a lack of knowledge about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. SPAIN: 96% of Public Health Workers Want More Training in the Gluten-Free Diet
We also start a discussion about the reliability of information sourced from ChatGPT particularly to answer questions about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Should We Trust ChatGPT for Gluten-Free Diet Advice?
Both Ellen and I have good news stories about prices for gluten free meals and foods (this was a surprise!). Six Mile Pub Drops Surcharge for 'Gluten-Free' Menu Items

It’s been a busy year for Celiac Canada and one highlight has to have been Melissa Secord and Caleigh McAulay RD attending the International Symposium on Celiac Disease held in Sheffield UK earlier this fall.
Both Melissa and Caleigh returned with so much information regarding ongoing and upcoming research along with best practices from other countries. Melissa shares with us some new theories for better diagnosis as well as questioning some ideas we have held as fact. Caleigh presented a poster on behalf of Celiac Canada regarding our recent State of Celiac Survey and learned so much from the many sessions and from other dietitians in attendance.
Celiac Canada was well represented by Melissa and Caleigh, and I was thrilled to have an enlightening conversation with them about their experiences at the Symposium.

It’s the beginning of November and that means I get to catch up with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I speak about the petition being circulated by Celiac Canada regarding a tax benefit to help with the cost of the gluten free diet. This important petition must be signed by November 10th, so if you haven’t signed and it’s before November 10, please follow the link, and send it on to friends and family – there’s strength in numbers!
Petition to Change the Way Celiacs Receive a GF Food Tax Credit
Recently there was a very broad recall of frozen waffles and pancakes which included some gluten free products and many different brands. Please check the recall notice that Ellen has posted and open your freezer to make sure you don’t have any of the contaminated packages – this is very important.
National Recall: Various Brands | Gluten-Free Waffles | Listeria Monocytogenes
Cindi Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has posted a very interesting article about the wheat starch flour blends that are currently being imported from Europe. Ellen and I have a lively discussion. I’ve used the wheat starch, and you may have already eaten it in some commercial gluten free foods.
What are We Going to do About Wheat Starch?
Have you ever wondered about the “Gluten Friendly” claims on a restaurant menu. Selena DeVries, a Registered Dietitian gives us her take on the term, as well, Ellen and I share our opinions.

I’m again speaking with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to go over some of the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month and allow me to give my opinions and insight.
Sometimes we come across a company that is doing their best to meet our gluten free needs, but may not have the foundational knowledge of the gluten free diet to do so. This was the case with a storefront that sold ice cream and offered their on-site made gluten free cones. Ellen was able to speak with the owner regarding the questionable safety of the cones and now the company is better informed and able to let their celiac customers know they cannot guarantee the cones to be gluten free. Their understanding and current transparency is a plus for us.
Ellen also made us aware of a manufacturing change at Prana Foods to no longer offer gluten free oats in their products. There is somewhat of a disconnect between producers and consumers in getting this important information out there.
We hear an update on story Ellen and I spoke about in August 2022 when I interviewed author Ann Campanella. Recently Ann has won an award for her book Celiac Mom. You can listen to the original conversation at - https://bit.ly/Ep233CeliacMom.
Ellen has discovered a new cookie/dessert jar business that is gluten free and also vegan, so dairy and egg free as well. The special news here is that the products are very decadent and can be shipped across Canada – so if you want to send a tasty gift to someone this might be a good bet!

It’s the beginning of September, and I’m fortunate to have my monthly discussion with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles and happenings she has brought to our attention over the past month.
First, I have Ellen explain to me the very impactful discovery that was made at McMaster University in co-operation with other colleagues regarding the “spark” that sets off the gluten reaction.
Ellen tackles the “gluten friendly” meal descriptions we’re seeing on menus and looks at what can be done to clarify this situation.
We talk about bloating even on a gluten free diet, a topic Selena DeVries RD raised on Instagram.
Food trucks are making their mark in our cities, but Gluten Free Food Trucks can be life-changing for those of us uncomfortable attending large public events. Ellen breaks down the gluten free food truck craze on Vancouver Island.
My August has been dominated by Camp Celiac and I take some time to talk about our sponsors and how their donations made a huge difference to enhance the camp for everyone.

I’m grateful that Ellen keeps such good tabs on all the celiac and gluten free news as it comes out. She is the first person I go to if I hear of something new and she’s usually already on top of it. As well she is able to vet the articles that come across her desk and give us the information we not only need, but want. This month a great deal focussed on the affordability of the gluten free diet. This is something Celiac Canada is taking very seriously and are working with the whomever will listen in an effort to stem this tide, which is clearly hitting everyone, but it appears is hitting us harder.
Ellen and I also spoke about travelling gluten free and she mentioned a cruising website - celiaccruise.com

On this episode of the podcast, I’m catching up with Kelsea. We spoke previously on Episode 299. I’m a celiac mom, like Kelsea, but my daughter is now an adult, so we have different perspectives on how celiac disease is dealt with for a young child. Many things have changed, but also many things have stayed the same. Not least of which is the panic that sets in when your whole world changes with the diagnosis of a child. Kelsea walks us through how she handles some specific situations and the part that label reading plays as her son gets older.
Both Kelsea and I relied heavily on the information from Celiac Canada as it was more reliable than random posts online. You can find out more at www.celiac.ca.

It’s the end of May and I have another opportunity to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to go over some of the articles and information Ellen has brought to us over the past month.
Ellen published an article about a young woman who posted online about a family situation in which she felt her needs to be on a gluten free diet were not being properly considered by other members of her family. Normally, we would side with the person who has special needs, but by reading more about the circumstances, both Ellen and I found fault in the attitude of the woman eating gluten free. You can read more in the link below.
We all know there are other medical conditions that those of us with celiac disease are more likely than the general population to have or suffer with. Ellen brings three such conditions that we should at the very least be aware of. Knowledge is power!
I mentioned again the recent podcast I produced with Avery about her mentorship program. You can find out more at celiacchat.org.
Both Ellen and I are big fans of Celiac Canada and we felt at the end of Celiac Awareness Month, it was time to suggest that listeners connect with the local Chapter that is closest to them. You can find out more at celiac.ca/living-gluten-free/peer-support/.

I often get emails from people I know within the celiac community regarding interesting people or medical professionals, who might make good guests for a podcast episode. It was during a conversation with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com when Avery’s name came up. Ellen brought her to our attention recently. When I contacted Avery to record a conversation, we had to wait until she’d finished her final exams – that was a new one for me – and I was excited to hear her story and get the perspective of a high school student on dealing with celiac disease.
Avery had the idea of doing something to benefit the kids in our celiac community, but it took her years to formulate what that would look like. She has recently launched Celiac Chat which is an online mentoring platform to allow kids to speak to other kids, or adults who relate to their issues.

After taking some time off to recuperate from knee surgery, I’m back speaking with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for the beginning of May to review some of the articles she brought to our attention over the past month.
If you’re interested in the Irish Tour, best make your inquiry quickly, as spots are limited – check out the link below.
Ellen and I spoke about an article written by a reporter in upstate New York regarding his experience eating gluten free in local restaurants. I found he was able to thread together a story that many of us can relate to – but he was able to articulate it so much better than I can.
Ellen shared with us the story of a home-based bakery on Vancouver Island with a difference. She also shares some great photos of his creations. Staying on the food theme, Ellen has provided us a link to a free recipe booklet from Corn Thins – I didn’t realize they were so versatile!

It’s the beginning of April, which for me means that I get to chat with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about interesting articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month. I had to record with Ellen prior to end of the March as I was preparing for knee surgery. Ellen kept posting and you can keep up with her work by subscribing to her monthly newsletter through her website.
Ellen and I both had copies of the recent booklet produced by Celiac Canada with the preliminary results from their recent survey. There is so much information in these numbers and the analysts have only scratched the surface. You can read these initial results or download the booklet at celiac.ca.
Both Ellen and I felt my recent conversation with Linda Sills regarding retirement and long-term care for her celiac mother was concerning and something we should all be concerned about for our families and ourselves. Ellen mentioned a previous a podcast I recorded with Mike Rose about choosing safe retirement living – you can listen at - https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com/ep-168-retirement-living-gluten-free. As well Ellen wrote an article about Mike which you can read here - https://theceliacscene.com/celiac-crusader-tackles-challenges-residential-living/
Ellen told us about a new online mentoring program for kids and teens that is being started – you can find out more here - Introducing Celiac Chat - An Online Mentorship Program for Kid & Teens and hopefully I will speak with Avery for a podcast in the near future.
Villous atrophy is a term that many of us know from our diagnosis, but Ellen was able to show me an article that listed other conditions that may cause villous atrophy – and here I was thinking it was unique to Celiac Disease. Other Conditions that May Cause Villous Atrophy
On a social media note Ellen told us of a situation at a local restaurant in Victoria that recently decided to remove a popular gluten free item from their menu. This was of course unfortunate, but the negative comments on social media that ensued were somewhat over-the-top. Ellen and I comment on the issues.
I mention that I recently attended a virtual class from Cinde, the everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca. I highly recommend these classes as we can all learn to make more gluten free options.

This episode is a follow up to Episode 298 when I attended an event called The State of Celiac Disease in Canada during the last week of February. Celiac Canada held the event to present the preliminary results of the recent national survey.
During the event, Melissa Secord the Executive Director of Celiac Canada spoke. I had more questions for Melissa, so I invited her on to this episode of the Podcast. Now that the preliminary results of the survey were being evaluated, I wanted to know more about what the results meant to Celiac Canada, and how they were going to use what they were learning to advance their efforts on our behalf.
Also, at the event in February, a woman by the name of Linda Sills took to the podium to tell her family’s story of dealing with care homes for her elderly mother. Linda gave an emotional talk, and again, there was more I wanted to know. The prospect of choosing a long-term care home for a loved one or yourself, is daunting, but unfortunately, for many of us, it’s a fact of life. I was grateful that Linda trusted me with her moving story and allowed me to dig a bit deeper into how and why. This was a powerful conversation, and one you may want to refer for others to listen to. Thanks Linda, for sharing in such a personal way.

I recently realized that although many of the people I speak with have been involved in the celiac and gluten free community for many years, I wasn’t well acquainted with the families of the newly diagnosed. When I operated my bakery, I was often the first celiac that people met after their diagnosis – it appears doctors were sending them my way. Since closing the bakery, I’ve built on my knowledge, but I must admit, I need a new perspective on what it’s like to raise a celiac child today.
Ellen Bayens (theceliacscene.com) was kind enough to introduce me to Kelsea. She is a mom of a busy 10-year-old boy and can clearly remember what life was like before, during and after the diagnosis. Our conversation centres around the diagnosis and how the entire family was affected. I hope to have Kelsea on again to explore more aspects of being a parent to a celiac child. Hopefully, I’ll speak with her son at some point as well.

During the last week of February, Celiac Canada held an event called The State of Celiac Disease in Canada, during which the preliminary results of the recent national survey were presented. I was invited to bring my podcast equipment to the event and record conversations with some of those involved. This episode was recorded at the event, so you will notice some distortion and background noise in the audio – there was lots going on.
I had the pleasure of speaking with James King. James has been a guest on the podcast previously, but this conversation was all about survey results. James is an analyst who is able to make sense of the numbers. He shares some of his insights into survey results with us. I also spoke to Registered Dietician Caleigh McAulay from Celiac Canada about her role in the formulation of the survey and how the results might help her help us.

It’s time to catch up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for the beginning of March 2024. I have the opportunity to review some of the articles Ellen has brought to our attention over the past month and ask questions as well as interject my own thoughts.
We talk about a line of granola snacks and breakfast s foods that recently had their “gluten free” designation removed because the manufacturer is no longer using gluten free oat products. As consumers we must accept this as a business decision, but the concern of both Ellen and I was the lack of awareness with consumers of this big change in ingredients.
Ellen brings to our attention a couple of food recalls by Health Canada of foods containing undeclared gluten. You can sign up to receive these alerts and specify which ingredients you are concerned about on the recalls and alert page - https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en
Ellen includes an interesting article about a young professional hockey player and his journey with celiac disease.
Of a more concerning nature is the article about a very specific form of cancer which is more common in celiacs and is on the rise. We discuss some of the statistics and if you should be concerned yourself.

On this episode I speak with Diane Bertrand from a company called English Bay. I wasn’t familiar with English Bay, and that’s because they produce foods for other companies. They do, however maintain a gluten free food manufacturing facility and when the owners of Kinnikinnick were looking for a good time to retire, after all the difficulties of running a specialized food business during the pandemic, English Bay seemed like the perfect fit.
Diane fills us in on the plans for Kinnikinnick going forward, and it’s comforting to know that not only will things ramp up to get more product into stores, but the products themselves will stay the same including the “free from” identification. Diane and the team from Kinnikinnick have lots of work to do, but it’s something they have the resources and excitement for.

On a recent podcast I spoke with Ellen Bayens about the importance of fibre in a gluten free diet. This topic keeps coming up whenever I speak to someone who is knowledgeable about nutrition. The fact is that most people in general, are not getting close to their recommended intake of fibre. When we talk about those on a gluten free diet, it’s very evident that fibre plays a major role in overall gut health and more effort should be made to increase the fibre in our daily diet. This is where my guest comes in – Cinde, The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has lots of suggestions and recipes that can enhance your everyday menus to include more fibre. Cinde has set herself and the listeners three challenges to get more fibre, as well she’s given us lots of recipes and suggestions to do just that.
To find out more you can go to her link for recipes 33 High Fibre Gluten Free Recipes or browse her website everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca.

Its the beginning of February which means I get the chance to speak with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss some of the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month. This month is focussing on gut health and those confusing supplements we are seeing everywhere that suggest some of our digestive issues can be solved with a pill that will improve our gut microbiome and in turn our gut health. Ellen breaks down all of the hype and wording around the supplements as well as the studies that are often quoted by supplement providers.
We also talk about the changes that have been made to the upcoming (May 2025) Gluten Free River Cruise that now starts in Amsterdam. You can find out more by contacting Dianna directly at dmcintosh@expediacruises.com. I mention to Ellen some of the things that have been pleasant surprises for me while staying in Phoenix, Arizona, and we also talk about a new resource on Ellen’s re-vamped website.

On podcast episode 284 I invited you to find out more about a European River Cruise that was being organized by Expedia Cruises, or more specifically, Dianna McIntosh from Ottawa. There was a very tight timeline to book, which made bringing everything together very difficult. Since that time, Dianna and Expedia Cruises have pivoted to a different provider, a slightly smaller ship, but with even more spaces suitable for the group. The new dates of the cruise are now May 3rd to May 10th, 2025. There are exciting other changes as well.

On this podcast I speak with Dr. Diana Mager. Dr. Mager has been on the podcast previously while she and her team were working hard to formulate a Food Guide for Celiac Children and was soliciting input from parents across the country. The Food Guide is now available and that gives me a great opportunity to invite Dr. Mager back to ask her some questions on the team’s findings as well as how parents can both get and use the Food Guide and its related resources.
The Gluten Free Food Guide is freely available for download to anyone who would like to access it via: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CpMuC2kIU43T3MGAMnnrfsqgACUjOtC_/view
Dr. Diana Mager will be providing free education about the gluten free food guide in a webinar with Celiac Canada. You can find out more and sign up for the webinar at: https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/events/

I had a very interesting conversation with Justine Dowd, PhD, a Health Coach who is also celiac. She works with individuals who are struggling with gut health issues. These issues can make someone feel less like themselves and put one in a spiral of depression and anxiety. We are all familiar with the struggles of feeling safe on a gluten free diet, and depending on what else is going on in your world, and what support systems you have, these struggles can have a negative effect on your day-to-day life.
Justine Dowd is a Health Coach who keeps up to date on the latest science and studies surrounding the link between mental health and gut health and understands these very specific issues. You can find Justine online at www.justinedowd.ca/.

Preparing food gluten free is not easy. For those newly diagnosed, or someone cooking or baking for them, it’s a steep learning curve. I am often asked for advice on how to set up a gluten free kitchen to make food preparation and baking easier. On this episode I speak with Robyn of Robyn’s Gluten Free Baking Courses for advice and practical tips to set up your gluten free kitchen to make baking fun and hassle free. Both Robyn and I have been baking gluten free for years, and we’ve come up with some handy tips to take some of the stress out of so many flours and the different equipment you might need.
Here’s Robyn’s list of flours other information she sent me –
What I keep in large jars (used most often):
· Brown rice flour
· White rice flour
· Sorghum flour
· Gluten-free Oat flour
· Tapioca starch
· Potato starch
· Corn starch (though I just keep it in the large container from Costco!)
· Almond flour: I also always have almond flour on hand, but I also buy the large bag from Costco and keep it in the fridge.
Other flours I like to have. I usually keep them in smaller jars or buy them as I need them:
· Teff flour
· Millet flour
· Buckwheat flour
· Sweet rice flour (I mainly use it during the holidays)
I also keep a small to medium-sized jar of xanthan gum in my baking drawer.
For those who might be overwhelmed with the number of ingredients listed here, my 6 must-have list for basic gluten-free baking are brown rice flour, white rice flour, almond flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, and cornstarch (as well as xanthan gum). These are all of the GF baking ingredients I use to make everything in my Essentials Course.
These are the jars I use for my everyday baking (what I consider to be "large jars"). If I buy even larger quantities of flour than what fits in the jars, I will keep them stored away and refill when necessary.
Here’s the link to order her very trendy aprons –

This is what my bread pans are like. They are normally used for a steam table in a restaurant, but they work amazingly well for bread in the oven. They are ¼, which means they are ¼ of a full steam table pan. They come in different depths, but I find the 4” one is best for gluten free bread. Here are similar ones found on Amazon.ca. - https://amzn.to/47KnVdl

It’s the beginning of December, so that means I get to chat with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. This month Ellen and I chat about the two podcasts I did with Caleigh McAulay of Celiac Canada about current myths surrounding both celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Ellen received lots of response when she posted about this topic. As well we talk about the recent national conference from Celiac Canada and some of the new things we learned. We discussed wheat starch, whether it’s a concern or not, and note some supporting information from Selena De Vries. I have a great Christmas gift idea from Robyn’s gluten free baking courses.
Dr. Diana Mager from the University of Alberta is putting out a call to parents of celiac children to fill in an online survey for their new study. The link, QR code and information are below.
To watch the presentations from the recent Celiac Canada Conference you can go to their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/CanadianCeliacAssociation

On this episode of the podcast I speak with Cinde Little – The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. You can find her along with her recipe posts at everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca. Cinde and I talked about how to approach cooking gluten free meals. Cinde gives lots of tips, and they may be something you’ve already found out and started doing for yourself, but likely, you’ll learn something, as I always do when I speak with Cinde.
Here are Cinde’s notes on the recipes she mentioned during the podcast -
In this post for Salad Rolls you can learn the difference between fish sauce, the essential ingredient for Thai and Vietnamese cooking, and the vinegar based salad roll dipping sauce you're probably familiar with. You'll also find a handful of other recipes that use this dipping sauce, I hope you'll try some! In this post, A Gluten Free Asian Pantry, I talk about many ingredients I use for cooking Asian dishes. A recipe for gluten free Worcestershire Sauce. In this post for White Sauce you'll find links to all the recipes I make with the basic white sauce recipe. Some call for a different kinds of cheese to be added and some don't but they're all delicious. More Everyday Meals on a Gluten Free Diet: In this post I talk about finding your cooking style, how to get more variety in your gluten free diet and more ideas for stress free everyday meals. You can also download my free e-book here. In this recipe for Grilled Flank Steak with Chipotle Honey Sauce I talk about my Prep Once, Cook Twice strategy for preparing enough meat to freeze for a second meal. Here are 2 posts with tips for success in the kitchen: Organize for Success with Labeling and Organize for Success with Mason Jars. Also, I referred to these 3 recipes that all use Nuoc Cham sauce in them.
· Cabbage Chicken Salad
· Pork in Tomato Sauce
· Rice Noodle Bowl

As a follow up to the podcast episode #283 Celiac Myths Part 1, I continue my conversation with Registered Dietician Cayleigh McAulay from Celiac Canada to debunk myths around the gluten free diet. We’ve all heard the “you can have just a little bit, what harm could it do” or “don’t worry when you travel to Europe, wheat is different there and it won’t cause you any symptoms”. Some myths we’d like to believe, or at least not question, but it’s important to stop mis-information in it’s tracks and find out what science tells us. Cayleigh also directs us to resources from Celiac Canada.

It’s the beginning of November and that means I get to chat with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen and I talk about a recent study that shows an increase in women’s reproductive issues in the celiac population compared to the general female population. We also look at a presentation from the University of Chicago about DH and I, for one learned, some new facts about DH and how it relates to celiac disease.
We chat about the inconvenience of asking questions in a restaurant and if this explains why some people takes risks and chances. Ellen also brought us a very interesting webinar from Europe regarding questions to do with the new forms of biodegradable tableware that we are seeing in takeout containers and from food trucks. Is it safe? How safe?

If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, you’ll know that I enjoy cruising and I’ve had great success eating a wide variety of gluten free foods onboard. My cruises have been on the large ocean liners. This week I’m speaking to Dianna from Expedia Cruises. Dianna herself is celiac and she’s organizing this cruise for April 2025. Expedia has contracted with AMA Waterways to ensure that there will be no gluten anywhere onboard. Sounds like a bit of dream! Then we look at the cruise itself, on the Danube, beautiful. The cruise is priced to include excursions, wi-fi, drinks, pretty much everything you might want. There is urgency here as Dianna must sell the staterooms by the end of November. Expedia Cruises & AMA Waterways is a sponsor of Celiac Canada to benefit their educational and advocacy programs. Both Dianna and I will be joining the cruise! Open the link to find out more. As Dianna says – SEE YOU ONBOARD!

Like you, I often look up resources online for information on celiac disease. Sometimes, I start to go down a rabbit hole that includes social media posts including videos (which can be more convincing than just words). After being involved with Celiac Canada for more than 25 years and relying on information from them, I’m in a pretty good position to decide whether information is correct and legitimate, or if it’s maybe wishful thinking, or just wrong. I thought it was a good time to bring many of these myths to the podcast. I enlisted Registered Dietician Cayleigh McAulay from Celiac Canada to help me go over myths that have attracted our attention. Cayleigh is often the person who answers queries or Celiac Canada, so I’m confident she’s heard it all.
The myths Cayleigh and I discuss for this episode are regarding Celiac Disease –
-
Celiac disease is an allergy.
-
Celiac disease is rare.
-
Celiac disease is a childhood disease.
-
Celiac disease can be outgrown / is curable.
-
Celiac disease is easy to recognize.
-
If you have the celiac genes, you must have celiac disease.
-
Celiac disease only causes digestive issues.
Cayleigh and I will be following up in the next few weeks with Myths Part 2, covering mis-information around gluten and the gluten free diet.

When I was recently at Gluten Free Fest, I met a very interesting woman who is a nutritionist, she’s celiac, and she’s publishing a new magazine. If that isn’t enough Jennifer Heard has a unique and interesting diagnosis story, as well as a roundabout story of how she landed with Belly Magazine.

I always find it interesting when I meet someone in person who I’ve (in my own mind) “met” online. For a long time now, I’ve found the Instagram feed from Robyn’s Gluten Free Baking Courses fun and full of amazing photos of her baking. I’ve been fortunate to meet Robyn at several events over the past few years. She always shows up in her 50’s housewife blue polka dot dress – easy to spot in a crowd. I suppose with my recording gear, I’m easy to spot too.
I’ve recorded short chats with Robyn at these events, but have been waiting for the right time to sit down with her to find out her story, why she concentrates on gluten free baking, and how she decided to sell her baking courses. One baker to another, we could have talked on and on. If you’ve been hesitant to try your hand at gluten free baking, now might be the best time. The coupon code Robyn gave us was ccpodcast which will get you 10% off any course (just apply the code at checkout).
Thanks Robyn!

It’s the beginning of October and my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen published an article about the delay in reading celiac diagnostic blood tests for children in Montreal. This was truly concerning. The family highlighted had introduced gluten back into their daughter’s diet as a gluten challenge prior to testing. When the tests were not processed and had to be disposed of to be re-done, the family was understandably angry. This situation, which is now being dealt with effected almost 3,000 blood tests for children. This gave Ellen and I lots to talk about.
On a different note, there is a shift evolving to have celiac disease in adults diagnosed from blood tests which show a multiple times above normal reading. This was begun a couple of years ago for children after a study showed it could reduce the number of children having to undergo a biopsy, but recently, it’s being shown that blood tests for adults with “extreme” results, can be used in a similar way. Hopefully this will lead to more simple protocols for diagnosis in the future.
Ellen brings us a question to, and answer from, an advice columnist when asked about a friend who seems obsessively talking about her gluten issues. Are we being boring? How should we deal with friends and family who find our conversations limited and very narrow? As well, what strategies should we use when a friend or family member seems to only talk about their health issues? Lots of food for thought here.
Here are links to the articles Ellen brought to us in September -

On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada. She fills me in on an amazing breakfast Celiac Canada hosted on Parliament Hill. Melissa chats with me and refers me to Roberta Kramchynsky, a volunteer with the CCA who has had experience advocating with members of Parliament. Both Roberta and Melissa explain to me that now a Celiac Caucus has been formed with members of Parliament from different parties. The Caucus will help Celiac Canada have its interests taken into account in upcoming legislation, as well as help put forward ideas that may help the celiac population. Tax reform and fortification of gluten free foods are just a couple of concerns that Celiac Canada is looking forward to bringing to the Caucus for consideration.

It’s the beginning of September and my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
On this episode Ellen and I speak about a few recent studies looking at the prevalence of autoimmune conditions, persistent villous atrophy, and how gluten actually triggers injury in the intestines. As well Ellen and I talk about an article aimed at physicians to help them support their celiac patients. We also discuss Meal Kits and how they might fit into your gluten free diet. Ellen has included a couple of links to some interesting recipes and I talk about my popular and easy and customizable granola recipe https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/oatmeal

It’s the beginning of August and my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
I was happy to let Ellen step up on her soapbox to talk about how unsafe gluten free food is when it’s prepared within a gluten bakery. This seems to be happening more often lately, even though we recognize that the food certainly doesn’t meet our normal standards for gluten free. Consumers are driving this trend, so it would seem it’s something we can change.
We also spoke about the value of Registered Dieticians who specialize in celiac disease. The name Selena DeVries came up as someone who understands our struggles first-hand and is there to help.
Ellen mentioned a few of my recent podcasts including 5 Tips for Cruising Gluten Free, my conversation with Miski Brewing about their quinoa-based beer, and on my other podcast, my co-host Aaron’s struggles with EOE – a condition that is more common in the celiac community.

This podcast episode is a solo effort. I had mentioned to Ellen Bayens earlier in the spring that I wanted to take some time to gather my thoughts on what stategies I employed while on a recent cruise that helped make my meals wonderful and safe. I’ve broken my thoughts down to five lessons and add a couple of stories on situations that happened. I ate very well on my transatlantic cruise on the Celebrity Edge in April. It takes a bit of effort and many conversations, but I was very looked after.

It’s the beginning of July, so for me that means another opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss articles and topics of interest Ellen has presented to us over the past month. It’s been a busy couple of months for both Ellen and I. She welcomed a new granddaughter and my daughter got married – we’re both still on a bit of a high!
Ellen and I spoke about the return of Only Oats to Canadian stores. The return will be gradual, but lots of work is being done to have the safe oats available across Canada. Ellen also told us about two brands of artificial crab that were improperly labelled omitting wheat and egg, so they appeared to be gluten free, but were not. We spoke about how gluten free consumers might approach this situation.
Ellen has had a long relationship with the restaurant chain Noodlebox, but recently it has become apparent that they are no longer able to ensure meals can be made gluten free. We discuss how this happened, and how you might may still want to work with your local Noodlebox location.

On this episode I speak with the new owners of Only Oats who are committed to getting the products back on store shelves across Canada. Many of us were concerned when our trusted oat brand was no longer available in our area and unfortunately, we had to wait to get the answered we needed. Only Oats is now back in the marketplace and today we hear about what happened, and how the new owners of the brand are working to come back and be there for consumers. I also speak with a registered dietitian who works with Only Oats about oats and how they fit into a gluten free diet, along with tips for adding this very nutritious food into our gluten free recipes.
Here's the recipe Cara gave me –
Oatmeal Flax Banana Bread
Recipe developed by: Cara Stoller, B. HEc. R.D.

It’s the beginning of June, so for me that means another opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss articles, studies and topics of interest Ellen has presented to us over the past month. This month Ellen gave us a study that looks at the pattern of healthcare visits of someone not yet diagnosed with celiac disease. This is considered to be the “diagnostic window” and past studies have been able to help with speedier diagnosis once a broad pattern has been established. This is already being done for some cancers and is currently being studied as an approach to celiac disease, parkinsons and other digestive conditions. If physicians were able to identify the need for celiac testing earlier, we could all benefit. This promoted a discussion of the uses for artificial intelligence as a tool for doctors.
Ellen published an article titled “My Mother’s Long & Winding Road to Diagnosis”. This is a complicated story with many twists and turns, and it wasn’t until I reached the end of the article that I realized this was actually written by Ellen about her Mother. She showed such courage and grace during very difficult times. Ellen and I give a quick synopsis, but I encourage you to read the entire article. We then discussed how important it is to be positive about your diagnosis, which can be difficult at first, but should be a goal.

On this episode I speak with Justine Dowd PhD who, along with having celiac disease herself, is a Health and Wellness Specialist and Wellness Coach. Justine and I tackle the emotional topic of infertility as it relates to celiac disease. This topic includes issues around fertility for those diagnosed, along with the uncertainty for those yet to be diagnosed. Both Justine and I have suffered miscarriages, which are not uncommon, but are emotionally difficult for an entire family. Justine tells us about the gut-brain connection and goes through some of her strategies to assist couples preparing for an upcoming pregnancy. As well, Justine talks specifics about some of the therapy she used to help her conceive and maintain a pregnancy. She mentions a Dr. Sher and you can find out more information at his website - sherfertilitysolutions.com

Happy May, Celiac Awareness Month!
At the beginning of each month, I speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss articles, studies and topics of interest Ellen has presented to us over the past month. Of great concern to consumers in general, and gluten free consumers in particular, is the rising cost of food. In an effort to bring our unique perspective on these issues in front of lawmakers, Celiac Canada held a breakfast event on Parliament Hill recently. There are many aspects to the CCA message including the emphasis on the gluten free diet costing up to five times as much as gluten food, the unworkable tax relief that is not an effective solution as well as the lack of nutritional fortification in our gluten free processed foods.
Dr. Peter Green debunks six common myths of celiac disease. I found this particularly fascinating, as science will always win out these emotionally charged discussions. Ellen also brought us an article on new guidelines for physicians to diagnose and treat their celiac patients. Selena DeVries RD shares valuable information about over-the-counter allergy medications as well as her advice on digestive enzymes.
Ellen has done it again – she’s found new foods in her area. She not only found a cafeteria-style build your own pizza place, but also gluten free waffle cones.
Here are links to the articles we spoke about –

On this episode I speak with Dr. Dan Leffler who is heading an international study to trial a medication for celiac disease. The medication is TAK-062 and the trial is called Illuminate-62. The trial is looking for individuals who are confirmed celiac, eating a gluten free diet, but still experiencing symptoms. At the time of our conversation the study has yet to launch in Canada, but when it does, Celiac Canada will have the information on their website www.celiac.ca.

As part of my Back To Basics Series, I speak with Ellen Bayens of www.theceliacscene.com to find out some of her best strategies for dining gluten free safely. Ellen is well known as an expert in advising celiacs where and how they can eat safely as well as a resourceful advisor to restaurants to help them serve gluten free safely. Ellen walks us through the questions you should be asking and what some of the red flags might be, and when it’s best to not eat at a particular restaurant. We chat about different cuisines, the format of menus and even the different terms used on a gluten free menu.

In the first of my Back to Basics Series, I speak with Registered Dietitian Selena DeVries about Cross Contamination. From the time we first hear about the gluten free diet, we try to absorb the concept of cross contamination and how to avoid it. Selena walks us through our kitchen setup, bakeware, pots and pans, and even shopping at a bulk food store.
My big take away – Gluten Can’t Jump!

In preparation for Celiac Awareness Month in May, I thought it was a good time to find out what’s been happening rcently with Celiac Canada. The organization is celebrating its 50th birthday this year and along with events in May, there are lots of opportunities to learn and get involved.
To raise awareness of economic issues and the under-diagnosis crisis, Melissa will be on Parliament Hill for a breakfast event on May 30th in an attempt to capture the attention of our Members of Parliament. Gluten free food fortification and the upcoming grocery rebate are all topics up for discussion.
Good news has come through from the Province of Ontario that going forward the blood test for celiac disease will now be covered under provincial OHIP.
Julie tells us about Webinar Wednesdays during May, and an opportunity to “Ask the Expert” at the Gluten Free Garage at the end of May in Toronto.
Lots is going on during the month of May including light up events across Canada, along with meetings, meals and informal get togethers. To find out more you can go online to www.celiac.ca and look up events.

It’s time for the roundup chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. May is Celiac Awareness Month and Ellen and I start things off with a call to help spread awareness. It can be as simple as a conversation with those around you, or you can attend an event that might be happening near you. You can find out more about Celiac Canada’s plans on their website www.celiac.ca.
Ellen brings to our attention a study in Italy of school children to help identify more celiacs at a young age. The interesting thing here is that the initial testing is done with one drop of blood, then children who are positive go on for further testing. Sounds simple and hopefully this test can be used more widely in the future. Ellen brings us up to date on the current practice of diagnosing and managing patients with refractory celiac disease – a condition that does not respond completely to the gluten free diet.
Covid-19 vaccines have been controversial, but what was understood is that the celiac population responded similarly to the overall population with the vaccine. A recent study showed that unvaccinated celiacs are more likely than the general unvaccinated population to be hospitalized and suffer more ill effects.
Ellen made a discovery at Walmart! Walmart is selling the Schar brand of gluten free foods, but what Ellen found at her local store was a treasure trove of all gluten free Schar foods brought into Canada. Different stores carry different products, and may place then in different aisles, but if you look, you may be richly rewarded.
During this month Ellen will oblige me by asking two questions on her social media – firstly, as a consumer would you like to see, in a grocery store, all the gluten free food together, or mixed in with the regular food in the separate aisles? And second, how do you feel about store brands of gluten free foods, cookies, pizzas etc., co-packed, marked gluten free, and with the store branding? Is this something you would purchase and support?
Hopefully, you’ll weigh in on our two questions and Ellen and I can discuss the responses at the beginning of May.
Here are links to some of the topics and articles we spoke about –

The conversation on this episode was, at first supposed to be a an opportunity for me to ask Cinde Little the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet about her post regarding Spanish tapas. I will be travelling to Spain very soon, and it occurred to me that tapas are something I don’t know about, and for that reason will just avoid them. Reading Cinde’s post, I thought it was a good time to find out more about this local food and arm myself with information that would allow me to order tapas in a restaurant safely. I thought you might want to listen in as I get a lesson in making, ordering and eating tapas gluten free.

When I was at the 50th Anniversary kickoff for Celiac Canada I spoke with the Technical Manager for the Gluten Free Certification with BRCGS. His name is Barry Meikle and I had so many questions. On Episode 176, I spoke with John Murthy from BRCGS in London, so it was appropriate to now speak with Barry to get the Canadian/North American take on Gluten Free Certification. We talk about how the program works and what assurances you can get from purchasing products with the CCA Gluten Free symbol.
Barry mentioned the Product Finder on the CCA website, which is a listing of all products registered to carry the certification symbol. You can link to the Product Finder at https://www.celiac.ca/living-gluten-free/gf-product-finder/

I love to travel, and I love cruising. I am often asked about how to travel safely while eating gluten free - more often than not, my suggestion is to cruise. Deciding on a particular cruise does require a bit of research, and preparation, but in my experience cruising has been safe and exciting. My daughter Deanna recently came back from a cruise on a cruise line I was not familiar with. On this podcast she shares her experiences along with some practical advice on how to prepare and what to expect. On my blog I have included some photos of her menus and some of the dishes she enjoyed.

This is a fun podcast for me. I was introduced to Tanja Blondin by Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Tanja and I have much in common, both she and her daughter are celiac and Tanja loves to bake – so much so that after working in restaurants and bakeries for many years, she now has a gluten free baking business. In her vendor trailer, Tanja frequents farmers markets, vendor shows and other outdoor food events to sell her baking. Ellen did a nice piece on her with some great food pictures that you can find here -

I’m ready for my roundup chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I talk about current food recalls, as well, we take a deep dive into a few topics concerning gluten free oats, including oat milk.
Ellen points out a great Instagram post from Selena Devries regarding over the counter cold and flu medications that you might be questioning for gluten.
Together, we wade into the complicated and controversial topic of gluten reduced beer. This is something everyone on a gluten free diet should know about.
Here’s a link to Celiac Canada’s webpage regarding their 50th Anniversary, and this is where you can find out more about nominating someone who’s made a difference.

January was very exciting for me – I visited family in Australia!
I had an amazing time, my hosts were wonderful and worked hard to provide me with the full Australian experience. As a celiac, I was very interested in the gluten free foods available in Australia – Wow! was I blown away by the multitude of options, the variety and the quality. In this episode of the podcast, Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com turns the tables and interviews me about my trip, how I ate and if I brought any goodies home with me.
Ellen has relationship with the company that produces Corn Thins for the worldwide market and they are located in Australia. Ellen was kind enough to set up a conversation for me with her contact at Corn Thins to discuss gluten free food production in Australia. You get to listen as Ellen and I find out some unexpected good news about what it means to call a product gluten free in Australia.
I don’t take many photos of my everyday life, but I do photograph food, and while in Australia I took some pictures that you have to see to understand and believe. Follow along with the podcast and refer to the photos on my blog at acanadianceliacblog.com.
PS – I threw in the photos of feeding kangaroos and cuddling a baby wombat.

This podcast is part of the 50th Anniversary celebrations of the first meeting of the Canadian Celiac Association. I was able to chat with many people at the event, some I’ve known a long time and some, I was just meeting that day. We begin the podcast with a conversation with Julie Greene of the CCA who walks us through the very recent name change for the organization. Here’s the link to the CCA webpage for the 50th Anniversary.

Time to catch up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I talk about a study that looks at celiac children with persistent symptoms after one year of being established on the gluten free diet. As well Ellen introduces a study in the form of online surveys to be taken by 8 – 16 year old celiac patients, in an effort to improve recommendations for celiac youth. Oats have been in the news lately and Ellen and I look at a study recognizing that some celiacs are not able to tolerate even pure oats. More investigation needs to be done on the cause of a reaction to pure oats, but this study hopefully is the first step to solving this issue. Ellen was able to bring us the story of a family suffering through the war in Ukraine with a sick child suspected of having celiac disease. The family is now in Boston, with the help of The National Celiac Association in Massachusetts.
Ellen and I recapped my recent series of podcasts about asymptomatic celiacs, including my opinion on what I learned from the conversations.
Ellen was happy to tell us that the Noodlebox restaurant chain from BC has now opened a location in Ontario, west of Toronto. As well she was able to share some of the lengths that MeeT Vegan & Vegetarian restaurants go to in order to offer gluten free on their menu.

During the month of January, I’m presenting stories of individuals who consider themselves asymptomatic with Celiac Disease. On this episode I speak with Jill, who is one of those rare individuals who is biopsy confirmed with celiac disease but has no digestive issues when eating gluten. Listening to Jill I began to understand the difficulty she encounters when making food and lifestyle choices. Those of us with celiac disease know we must eat a gluten free diet, and if we don’t, or aren’t careful, we will suffer noticeable and often life disrupting discomfort. Jill, on the other hand has no digestive, or other issues if she eats gluten. Some may consider this a best-case scenario, if they slip up, or if they accidentally ingest gluten, they won’t even notice. However, this dream scenario comes with its own negative side. Jill struggles to commit to the diet on a long-term basis, even though she knows she should. Jill enjoys going to restaurants and, like the rest of us find requesting gluten free to be a hassle, but unlike the rest of us, she won’t suffer from being glutened, at least not in the short term.
I try to discuss the issues without making Jill feel guilty for slipping from gluten free, and we come up with some strategies going forward to make the diet something she can make a long-term commitment to.

During the month of January, I’m presenting stories of individuals who consider themselves asymptomatic with Celiac Disease. On this episode I speak with two Moms. The first family is struggling to arrive at a diagnosis for their child. I speak with the Mom both prior to and after the appointment with a specialist. The goal here is to formulate a plan to move forward while a diagnosis is being arrived at. The second Mom has unconventional symptoms, and also has a son who is, for the most part asymptomatic. I speak with both of them, to understand how they cope gluten free day to day.

During the month of January, I’m presenting stories of individuals who consider themselves asymptomatic with Celiac Disease. On this episode I speak with Mariya and Sacha. We chat about their stories, how they cope day to day and some of the unique issues around having celiac disease without the common severe digestive symptoms. My guests this month represent a broad range of symptoms, most not falling under digestive. I must admit to sometimes wishing I didn’t suffer the digestive effects of eating gluten, but as you’ll hear from my guests this month, being asymptomatic comes with other challenges.

It feels like a bit of a milestone Episode 250, and it’s most fitting that I’m speaking with Ellen Bayens of www.theceliacscene.com about news and our views that have come up during the past month, getting us all ready to take on 2023.
Ellen and I chat about resistant starches and I learn that my love of leftovers is actually a good thing. We also look into the CCA Position Statement on Corn products and how it should help us in making safe food choices.
We also talk about some of my recent podcasts including a bonus episode on the Gluten Free Weigh In Podcast where each of my co-hosts gives their take on New Year’s Resolutions. Sidenote – Aaron has a very educated view on behaviour changes that goes way beyond a once-a-year decision. My podcasts for January will focus on people who consider themselves asymptomatic, or at least differently symptomatic. I’ll be travelling in January, so hopefully this series of podcasts will come out weekly, but at this point my schedule is somewhat unknown, but I will give it my best attempt.
Here is the list of topics from Ellen -
-
What are Resistant Starches and Are You Eating Enough of Them?

I was fortunate to talk with many different people who consider themselves asymptomatic with celiac disease for a series of podcasts, uncoming in January. On this podcast, Peggy and her son are not asymptomatic, quite the opposite, their symptoms are severe, but they lack a diagnosis. I’ve run across many families in this situation and it’s difficult to give advice, because knowing what I know about diagnosing and living with celiac disease, I’m not sure what path I would take. Often these situations involve young children, who, for a variety of reasons have not had a proper diagnosis, but decisions must be made to keep they safe and healthy. What I’ve learned from speaking with so many about their diagnosis stories is that very few are straight forward and most have repercussions deep into the family dynamic. If you would like more information on many of the aspects of celiac disease that I speak to Peggy about, spend some time on the website of the Canadian Celiac Association www.celiac.ca. I encourage you to print off whatever resources might help you to speak to your doctor, family members, school or friends about what you need to be healthy.

I always get excited when I can have my adult daughter, Deanna, on the podcast with me to discuss shared experiences and how she may do things a bit differently from me. This conversation is about booking all-inclusive travel, something that is a hot topic as the weather gets cold. Deanna and I have been on trips together, as well as separately and we both have thoughts and tips about researching, booking and going on an all-inclusive holiday. I was recently asked if an all-inclusive could be a safe choice for a vacation for someone eating gluten free. My answer is yes, but you have some extra work to do, that others won’t have.
Here is a link to the restaurant cards I spoke about. As well, there’s more information on this site that might answer questions for more adventurous travellers.

It’s the beginning of the month and I get to chat with Ellen Bayens of https://theceliacscene.com/ about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month. We discuss a study of the issues involved in screening for other autoimmune disorders when patients have Celiac Disease, and screening for Celiac Disease in patients with other autoimmune conditions. We also discuss Refractory Celiac Disease which is CD that doesn’t resolve properly on a gluten free diet. The gluten free diet is difficult to learn and there is a new teaching technique to empower celiacs to use new tools to help them recover.
Ellen and I have a lively discussion about some recent podcasts I’ve done including Episode 246 which is a discussion with larger than life personality Mairlyn Smith about fibre in a gluten free diet, as well as a refreshing (and comical) look at how fibre helps the body.
Ellen has had a relationship with Stella’s Perogies which are now available in Eastern Canada at Sobeys and Walmart. Perogies are popular with many people during the holiday season. I also mentioned a great memory of making perogies at my bakery with members of our local celiac chapter a number of years ago. You can find the recipe on my website www.suesglutenfreebaking.com , under the recipe tab, show #14 https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/pasta-gnocchi-perogies

This episode has been a long time in the works, since before I started the podcast. I have the pleasure on this episode to have a conversation with Mairlyn Smith, who is a Canadian personality, she is a comedian, an actress, and a Home Economist. As well Mairlyn is a recurring guest expert on Cityline and Breakfast Television. Her current book is called “Peace, Love & Fibre”. I met Mairlyn in the fall of 2017 and it was her encouragement that made me decide to start this podcast. Mairlyn is known in Canada as the Queen of Fibre and in her own amusing and witty way, she answers all my questions about fibre and the gluten free diet. I am fortunate that through the podcast I have met many inspiring individuals, and it all started with inspiration from Mairlyn. Thanks for that!
You can follow Mairlyn on Instagram and Twitter. You too can enjoy sharing a cup of tea with her most mornings on Instagram @mairlynsmith.

This episode begins with a short conversation with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com who gives an introduction for my guest, Laurie Kelly of Millstone Farm on Vancouver Island. Millstone farm has some small animal holdings, but is best known for on-site milling of certified gluten free organic grains. Laurie explains how she and her husband made the leap into grain milling, and why gluten free. Also, Laurie has organized the donation of 6,000 gluten free sugar cookies to local charities, including the Mustard Seed Society in Victoria – the catch is, she’s asking members of the community to come to the farm to decorate the cookies. Currently, the November 20th date is fully booked, but they are looking to fill some spots on December 11th. As well, Laurie has a charming story of how her woollen dryer balls caught the eye of some celebrities, and how she was able to mingle with them.
The specialized containers Laurie spoke about were Miron Glass. You can find Millstone Farm & Organics online at https://millstoneorganics.com/ where you can also find links to their Instagram and Facebook pages.

On this episode I’m speaking with a co-host from my other podcast, Gluten Free Weigh In. Aaron has been diagnosed for about one year and I wanted to speak to him about being a man with celiac disease. Overwhelmingly, most celiacs I’ve known are women. We talk about why more men aren’t seeking diagnosis, as well as how most of the resources available are directed towards women. Aaron is in a unique position to discuss this subject matter with me, not only because he’s a man, but he is also a behaviourist, with a Master’s degree in Behaviour Education. Aaron is very animated and honest and will almost certainly challenge some of your perceptions of living with celiac disease.

On this episode I speak with Derradji Zaarer who lives in Algeria. Derradji has Dermatitis Herpetiformis or as we often refer to it as “DH”. DH is essentially celiac disease of the skin. Diagnosis for DH is often straightforward, as the tiny blisters are usually in symmetric distribution, meaning that if you have them on your left elbow, you will also have them on your right elbow, or wherever else they appear.
Derradji faces many challenges with his rare condition including the availability of the medication normally prescribed. The limited availability of gluten free food is also something that makes dealing with DH in Algeria very difficult. With all he is facing, Derradji is doing his best to connect with other DH patients as well as celiac patients both in his country and in other places. He has found the CCA a reliable website for medical information about DH and the gluten free diet. If you would like to reach out to him, his email is derradjizaarer@gmail.com.
For more information on DH, you can follow the link to the Canadian Celiac Association at https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/

This episode is my recurring opportunity to weigh in on information Ellen Bayens published on theceliacscene.com during the past month. The challenge of finding safe french fries in restaurants is one that every celiac encounters, so Ellen and I both give our take on the subject. We talk about the recent recall for M&M Foods along with their gluten free policies. Island Farms, a dairy on Vancouver Island has recently decided to NO LONGER make their ice creams gluten free, so we look at the impact on the community. An informative long-term study out of Norway looks at detecting celiac disease in the general population over time. Arsenic, mercury and lead are all undesirable in our food, and the gluten free diet poses a greater risk of these substances showing up, but there are steps you can take. We are all familiar with celiac disease, but do you know what makes either a wheat allergy, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity different?

Two weeks in August was the culmination of a many hours of work by dedicated volunteers to make Camp Celiac 2022 happen. I was a member of the Menu Committee and along with others we worked and re-worked a menu for the camp that would be exciting for celiac and non-celiac kids alike. The force behind camp celiac is Carmen, a member of the Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association. Carmen spent the most time of the two weeks at camp. I, and a few others were there for designated days. Once the hard work of the menu was completed, we reached out to gluten free food partners to supply some of the specialty food. Our food partners were amazing with their donations, that allowed us to present meals that were enthusiastically enjoyed by all. For more information on Camp Celiac you can go to their website https://www.campceliac.ca/ You can also join the Camp Celiac facebook group. If you’d like more information on volunteering for next year, or if you are interested in what it takes to start a camp for celiac kids near you, please email me and we can start a conversation – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com.

Kasia explains some of the procedures and testing the products go through before they are sent out to stores and customers. Gayle provides listeners with a coupon code SUE22 to get 10% off products from the website. The link to the store is www.pillingfoods.com/. In addition, Pilling Foods will be providing free shipping in Canada on orders over $50. Now, is definitely the time to check your gluten free cupboard and stock up for your holiday baking.

During my recent conversation with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com, she introduced me to Karen Joseph who works for ASSE, an international student exchange program based in the US. One of Karen’s responsibilities is to find host families for incoming students who require a special diet for health needs. Karen is uniquely qualified for this task as she is the mother of a now adult son with Type I Diabetes and Celiac Disease. She understands the gluten free diet and spoke to me of the importance of finding host families who are prepared to support a student with celiac disease. Karen has lots of stories of the students she has placed and how they made the gluten free diet work for them in a new country, hosted by a new family.

The beginning of September means I have the opportunity to chat with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. On this episode we talk about strategies for parents and teachers to be on the same page about the celiac student and their needs during the school year. Ellen has some great suggestions. We also talk briefly about a student exchange program and the person in charge of the special diet requirements. I hope to speak with her about this interesting topic on a separate podcast very soon. In science news, researchers have come up with a tool to help doctors determine the risk of celiac disease to some of their youngest patients, and it turns out the gut microbiome has lots more to tell us, and this time it’s about the very specific differences in the small intestine, depending on where the same of the microbiome was taken from. These advances in science will hopefully mesh together to allow for a better diagnosis rate in the future.
Ellen and I talk about some of my recent podcasts including the story telling author Ann Campanella in her book Celiac Mom (https://bit.ly/Ep233CeliacMom). Ellen also comes clean about her interest in my co-host Arron’s ongoing journey after bariatric surgery.
Seasons are changing and Ellen fills us in on where the food trucks go, as the weather gets colder.
Here are the links to Ellen’s articles –

I’m thrilled to speak with Ann Campanella about her book Celiac Mom. Ann’s daughter was diagnosed at the age of 5 many years ago. Ann reflects on her struggles as a parent of a celiac. Her flair for story telling is often vivid and pulls at our heart strings. Being a parent of a celiac child, we often find ourselves very protective. This approach can take many forms, so each family’s story is different. Ann draws us in with the detail that I’m sure her daughter has long since forgotten, but stays with parents as they navigate these troubled waters. Ann talks about dealing with schools, choices of friends, and the good and bad about family vacations. You can find out more about Ann and order her book in either digital or paper form on her website or on Amazon. Ann is an accomplished author and shares more about her other works on her website as well. Links are also on her website to her various social media accounts.

On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens about articles, topics and science that has been published over the past month about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. We talk about why a new drug treatment study was abandoned in the Stage 3 phase, as well as research into how science will eventually tackle and treat celiac disease. Artificial intelligence is being prepared to help doctors diagnose celiac disease - with 300 symptoms and normally many years of testing prior to diagnosis, this new tool may change the diagnosis landscape. Mental health is in the news these days, with the stress of covid and the economy, and a recent study has looked at the rates of anxiety, depression and ADHD in the celiac population, particularly in youth. Dr. Diane Mager of the University of Alberta is heading a team researching the specific dietary needs of children newly diagnosed with celiac disease. They are reaching out to the community for participation in two studies, one for children and families and the other to find family friendly recipes to use as part of their resource package. Here are the links to find out more information - https://conquer-studies.weebly.com/ and redcap.link/GFcookbook.
Ellen had the tale of two restaurants, one that had gluten free items on their menu, but they are not actually gluten free and safe for celiacs, and the other restaurant that is going to great lengths to ensure their many gluten free offerings are safe for us.
Selena DeVries is back with her Instagram post about 18 snack bars that are gluten free and safe to eat.
Ellen has highlighted some of my recent podcasts including my chat with Christine Nesbitt as well as the deep dive Nicole Byrom and I took into understanding everything on a food label that wasn’t the ingredients.

As a follow-up to Episode 148 I speak again with Dr. Diana Mager from the University of Alberta as she and her team have formulated a gluten free food guide for children that more meets their specific needs. Currently they are recruiting families of newly diagnosed children (less than one year, and between the ages of 5 and 18) to participate in a study to look at the effects of the enhanced food guide. Participants will be given one-on-one education and other resources regarding the nutritional needs of children with celiac disease and how those needs differ from the general population. Here’s the link to find out more - https://conquer-studies.weebly.com/
As well, Dr. Mager’s group is also conducting a study to gather family friendly recipes which will make up one of the resources to accompany the food guide. If you have a recipe that might be suitable, you are asked to open the link and complete the survey. You can find the link at redcap.link/GFcookbook. You can also contact Dr. Mager directly at mager@ualberta.ca.
You will hear Dr. Mager mention the Conquer studies. Conquer stands for – Celiac disease Outcomes in Nutrition, Quality of life, and Emerging Research.
You can follow the Conquer team on Instagram @conquer_celiac and on twitter @conquerstudies.

It’s time for a deep dive into everything we can learn about our food from the packaging and labelling, that isn’t just the ingredients. I speak with Nicole Byrom, RD for the Canadian Celiac Association about how to read a nutrition facts label, including serving sizes and vitamin sources. Nicole explains the mystery around best before dates and when not to buy or use a dented tin. Sometimes we can find a gluten free claim as well as a may contains – seems like a contradiction, but Nicole explains what we are actually looking for in the packaging claims, as well as which ones don’t pertain to our gluten free diet. Everything you didn’t know you that you didn’t know about product labels.
Here’s some links that Nicole mentioned –

Ever since I sat in on a virtual presentation from the Canadian Celiac Association featuring Christine Nesbitt, I’ve been anxious to have a longer conversation with her. Christine was an elite speed skater who won numerous medals for Canada over a very distinguished career. After many years of suffering unexplained digestive issues, Christine was diagnosed with celiac disease. She explains how her diagnosis effected her skating, her travelling and being a part of a very competitive team. Christine’s story is rich with reminders that celiac disease can be controlled and shouldn’t stop us from accomplishing anything we’re willing to put our best effort towards.

On this episode I’m at the Gluten Free Garage, which is large food show in Toronto. I’ve attended the show previously with the podcast, but this year, I was helping at the booth for the Canadian Celiac Association. The CCA booth was a place for attendees to drop off gluten free food donations. This is something that was done in previous years by Jessica Danford, but she wasn’t able to be at the event this year, and the CCA was happy to help. If you would like more information on gluten free food donation, visit the CCA’s website www.celiac.ca and search Save Me For Gluten Free.
I took the opportunity at the food show to speak with some of the interesting people I met.
I spoke with Carmen Luongo from Shar Gluten Free and he was able to let us in on some new upcoming products. I highly recommend their Twin Bar – each package contains three packs of two bars.
I met Robyn Harrison of Robyn’s Gluten Free Baking Courses. You can find out more about Robyn at www.glutenfreebakingcourses.com.
Gaston spoke with me about celiac research being done at McMaster University. You can find out more and sign up for their research newsletter at www.mcmasterceliacclinic.ca/research.
It was great to see Josh from the Bakery at St. Anne’s Spa at the show. I’ve been to the bakery in the past, and everything I tried there was terrific. You can find out more about the spa at www.steannes.com.
Terry from the restaurant Riz was excited to tell me about Riz moving to a new location with an expanded gluten free menu. The new location will be opening in the next few weeks. Their website is www.rizglutenfree.com.
Gluten Free Fest is a Food Show being put on by The Gluten Free Collective in Kitchener Waterloo on September 18th. You can find out more at www.glutenfreefest.ca.
I met Vanessa Sarraino who has just released a new cookbook called Celiac Sweeties. You can find out more at www.vanessacarraino.com or to order the book, you can call her directly at 647 654-0023.
It was nice for me to catch up with Derek from Camp Celiac. Last year, I helped out with the food and menu for camp and I’m looking forward to the kids coming again this year. Space for this special camp is filling up fast. You can find out more at www.celiaccamp.ca.

I speak on this podcast with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about the articles, studies, and interesting stories she has presented to us this past month.
We spoke about a family who had one child suffering with IBD and a second diagnosed with IBS. This conversation became about the differences between the two conditions and how the diagnosis and treatment of IBS and IBD have advanced substantially over the past decade. On the subject of children, we looked at the benefits of having support systems within the celiac community not only for celiac children, but also for the parents of celiac children. This support is important, soon after diagnosis, as well as on an ongoing basis. A recent study to find a biomarker that would be able to measure how children were responding to a gluten free diet led Ellen and I to a discussion of using or mis-using TTG numbers to indicate healing and the adherence to the gluten free diet.
Ellen put in a special word for Michelle, of Michelle’s GF Kitchen as during May she was working with the Edmonton Chapter to help with ideas for some gluten free meals.
As always, Ellen and I speak about food, and on this occasion, it was gluten free fish and chips and why they cause such a stir in our community.
I received an email from a listener of the podcast who gave me more current information about a labelling issue I got wrong on a previous podcast. We all make mistakes, but if we can come away with the correct information, we’re all better for it.

Iron deficiency or anemia is more complicated that I realized. The Canadian Celiac Association recently presented a webinar on celiac disease and iron deficiency. Dr. Frances Scully gave us information on the treatment of iron deficiency, along with other medical and scientific information. Nicole Byrom, Registered Dietitian with the CCA spoke about how iron deficiency related to celiac disease and its symptoms, as well as changes we can make to our diets to increase our iron intake. We also heard from Malorie Otton, who was diagnosed as a young adult with iron deficiency, that led to other complications and was her main symptom prior to her celiac diagnosis. Nicole and Malorie join me on the podcast to explore more about iron deficiency and celiac disease.

I was able to attend the second webinar presented by the CCA during the month of May, Celiac Awareness Month. The subject of this webinar was IBS and Celiac Disease. There were two very engaging speakers, and I had the privilege of speaking with both of them for this podcast.
Meghan Donnelly is a Registered Dietician who works for Dr. Schar, as Senior Manager of Nutrition Services. We know the company as Schar gluten free. Megan works with individuals who could benefit from a specialized diet. She has worked with many patients who are celiac, as well as those who have IBS. She explains the low FODMAP diet, which is meant as a resource to identify specific foods that may be causing IBS symptoms in the gut. Megan explains the process of working through the diet as well as other forms of dietary treatment. Megan has some great slides in the webinar. The link is below.
Dr. Maria Ines Pinto-Sanchez is the Lead at the Adult Celiac Clinic at McMaster University’s Farncombe Digestive Disease Centre. Dr. Pinto-Sanchez gave a great description of both the similarities and differences in both the presentation, testing and treatment of IBS and Celiac Disease. I speak to her about the patient journey when presenting with symptoms that could be IBS or Celiac. She very well defines the differences of how the gut is affected in both conditions. There are some great slides and charts in the webinar presentation that illustrate these differences.
Also, Dr. Pinto-Sanchez would like to encourage everyone to fill in the international survey about covid and vaccines. You can find the survey at https://bit.ly/redcapCovid19VaccineSurvey. Best to have your vaccine certificates handy, as the survey is collecting that information as part of the survey.

The CCA presented a webinar the first month of May, Celiac Awareness Month, about Neurology and Celiac Disease. Nicole Byrom introduced the two guests for the webinar, and now, I have been able to record a podcast with both of them. I first speak with Sonia Jones, who was also featured in an article in the Canadian Celiac Magazine. Here’s the link –
www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/CCA-May-Magazine-1-May-2022.pdf
Sonia’s story is one of a very quick onset of neurological symptoms, followed by a prolonged journey to diagnosis. With all the tests Sonia was given, she’s confident she’s the million-dollar patient.
I then speak with Dr. Ian Croall. Dr. Croall is a Research Fellow at the University of Sheffield in England. He is not a medical doctor seeing patients, but during the course of his research, he has studied the brains of many people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance, and gluten ataxia. You can find out more about his studies by watching the webinar. I speak to Dr. Croall about the impacts of his research on other celiacs and on those yet to be diagnosed.
You can watch the webinar at this link –

It’s time again to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen brings us great articles and tidbits about celiac disease and the gluten free diet all month long and this is our opportunity to discuss. First, we talk about an article that tries to define the differences between food allergies, intolerances and sensitivities – it’s a big and somewhat confusing job. Easiest to note that Celiac is none of the above, but many of us have an allergy, intolerance or sensitivity in addition to celiac.
Have you ever wondered what xanthan gum is exactly? I had not, until Ellen raised the topic. You might be surprised at what you learn. Recently, Health Canada re-vamped their sign up for food and other recalls. Ellen gives us a summary of the changes and how the new process is so much easier.
Ellen highlights the Tuesday questions answered by Selena DeVries RD on Instagram. Her website is Healthbean Nutrition and you can find her Instagram @celiac_dietitian.
We talk about what makes the Honeycomb app unique. This is of special interest to those who have additional food allergies, or those who want to know exactly what to order at a particular restaurant to be safe.
I have a great story for Ellen that follows up from a discussion we had about a foreign celiac student staying with a family in Victoria.

I’ve been working on a bit of theme lately looking into different aspects of food security as they relate to those on a gluten free diet. On this episode I speak with Cinde Little the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. Cinde has a tremendous website with lots of great ideas for main dishes, side dishes, salads and desserts. The photos on the website make everything look delicious. Cinde talks us through some of the strategies she uses to save on meats and vegetables. Planning seems to be the key. Planning also includes eating foods when they are in season. This sounds logical, but we often have to think ahead to do that. We also talk about how to take an inexpensive pasta meal and make it special with some simple additions. Many of us are not very adventurous when it comes to blending ingredients and tastes. Maybe that comes from trying to keep our diet simple to make sure it’s gluten free. Cinde gives us lots of ideas to switch things up and make inexpensive meals more exciting. Cinde has become known for her online cooking classes that not only introduce you to a few new recipes, but take you through the process to give you more confidence cooking gluten free. You can find Cinde online at https://everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/

The topic of Food Security is one that I speak about often with others in leadership roles in Canada’s gluten free community. I thought I’d bring some of those conversations to the podcast. First, I speak with Jessica Danford who has devoted a great deal of time and energy into getting gluten free food into the hands of those who need it, but are not able to afford it. Jessica explains how to work with food banks and some of the complications they might be facing. Jess was recently featured as an author in the book “She Moves Mountains”, which can be purchased at most book sellers. You can also connect with Jess on Instagram @Jessicadanford. I also talk about Bev Ruffo, who is from the Hamilton area. There is no longer a CCA chapter in Hamilton, but Bev still keeps in touch with some of her celiac friends and they decided to get involved with gluten free food collection. They even appeared at the recent Gluten Free Goodness Expo to accept food donations and have attendees sign a petition for the CCA – well done!
I round out this episode with a discussion about the extraordinary efforts being made by the Manitoba Chapter of the CCA. The President of the Chapter, Christa Dubesky, tells me how their group got involved with a food bank umbrella organization to prepare hampers for the gluten free clients. Not only did they prepare hampers, they took on the job of getting donations, for most of the food. If you would like to help out their efforts you can leave a message at their chapter office at (204) 772-6979 or refer to their website http://www.manitobaceliac.com/ and follow the donations link.
I’m looking forward to attending the Gluten Free Garage in Toronto on May 29th, where Jessica and I will be at the CCA tent to accept food donations. If you’ll be in Toronto at that time, we’d love to have you show up. You can find out more at https://glutenfreegarage.ca/

Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene.com is back for a lively and informative discussion of the regulations which form the basis of the obligations and responsibilities of food producers, and specifically gluten free food producers. Have you wondered why some products in a grocery bakery don’t need ingredient and nutrition labels and some do? What is the regulation concerning labelling foods being sold at a farmer’s market, or a coffee shop? When labels are required, we need to see more than just the ingredients. Ellen and I help you navigate the regulations around what food producers, restaurants and coffee shops must be able to tell you about the food you buy.
If you have a concern in regard to a restaurant, call that CFIA (Canada Food Inspection Agency) at 1-800-442-2342 and they will refer the call to the closest office of the CFIA and have them contact you.

On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene.com about things that have been of interest in the celiac and gluten free world over the past month. Ellen and I have a discussion about bloating – something that was never really a symptom for me, but as a symptom it should be talked about more. Ellen tells us of the recent product recall from Cavendish Farms, along with details of the new non-gluten status of Earth’s Own oat beverage. The website to sign up for product recalls with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency is - https://inspection.canada.ca/english/util/listserv/listsube.shtml. We both get wrapped up in a recent episode of Dr. Phil where he talks to a woman who is so fearful of ingesting gluten that she is changing everything to accommodate her fears. Dr. Phil gives us some valid information on how to evaluate a fear like this. Ellen found the evaluation criteria transposed well to help her in another area of her life.
Ellen gives me her thoughts on a few of my recent podcast conversations including Dr. Melissa Ing, The Allergy Chef and Adam, who is Deanna’s boyfriend. We also talk about how honest Aaron is on my Gluten Free Weigh In podcast after he was recently “glutened”.
We round out our discussion with Selena’s 15 Gluten Free Finds from Costco and my review of a recent online cooking class I participated in with Cinde, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet.

This week I chat with someone who is almost a part of our family. My daughter Deanna’s boyfriend Adam has learned a great deal about celiac disease and the gluten free diet over the past few years. His perspective is from someone who has no eating restrictions. We often wonder how the rest of the world sees us, and how we can best help them to cope with our eating restrictions. Adam takes us through his education on celiac disease, what he expects when they eat away from home and, how he copes with educating his family and friends, as well as being protective of Deanna.

On this episode I’m welcoming an extraordinary individual, not only for what she has accomplished, but for the simple fact that she’s still alive. Kathlena is The Allergy Chef, mostly because her list of allergies is so long that she had to come up with recipes to make meals from the foods she could eat. Kathlena went on to set up a powerful website to serve the multi-allergy community. Among her allergies are wheat and corn, but it is her severe sensitivity that would give anyone pause. She has started a website and program called RAISE to provide a multitude of resources to the allergy community. A discount code has been extended to podcast listeners - acc50 for 50% off the first month of membership on the RAISE website. As well kids online baking classes can be accessed at –

I’m welcoming back to the podcast Dr. Melissa Ing who is a well accomplished dental educator with a specific interest in celiac disease. Dr. Ing shares with us the information she presented in two lectures at the recent Chicago Midwinter Conference. Her first lecture was titled “Celiac Disease, Non-celiac Gluten Sensitivity and Your Dental Patients”. The second lecture was about nutritional influences on oral and systemic wellness. Melissa is very much into the “Mouth-Body Connection” and teaching a whole-body approach to dental professionals. In 2020, Melissa put together articles she wrote for the CCA’s Better Living Gluten Free Publication on Oral Health. Here is the link to that publication –
https://conta.cc/3tEPeD4
This is the article Melissa suggested you might want to share with your dental professionals to help them learn more about celiac disease.
Melissa has been a guest on two episodes of A Canadian Celiac Podcast -
Episode 106 Celiac Disease and Dental Education
Episode 169 Celiac Disease and the Dental Office

Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com has given us some great articles to look at this month. Somehow, she found an article written on the issues of cross contamination in restaurants in Malta. It’s amazing to see that celiacs in another part of the world with a very diverse cuisine from ours have the same issues ordering food in restaurants. As well there is an interesting study that was done recently looking at the blood tests done with children and how indicative they are of a final diagnosis of celiac disease. The aim of this study is to identify a benchmark level for blood tests that would indicate a biopsy for a child is not necessary.
We discuss the curious issue of Novak Djokovic, the international tennis star who has publicly said that he is on a gluten free diet for his health. There is more behind this story, and much of it will leave you with more questions than answers.
Are you familiar with the FODMAP diet? Ellen explains the premise of the diet and how it is being used by some celiacs who are struggling to gain remission from their symptoms. In Episode 93 of this podcast, I interviewed Steven J. Singer, who runs Fody Foods, helping those who are using the diet as a tool towards better health.
Ellen gives us more information on how you can post questions on Instagram for Selena DeVries @celiac_dietitian. As well Selena offers a focused Facebook group for those with persistent symptoms, along with courses and assistance on her website www.healthbean.ca.
Ellen and I go on to speak about food including the Taco Revolution foodtruck, Trumps Foods Hazelnut Torte on Amazon.ca, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet online cooking classes and Stella’s Perogies, which my daughter recently found in Ontario at a Metro store.

The topic of food bullying is a broad one and means different things to different people. To help me tackle with subject, I invited Nicole Byrom, Registered Dietitian with the Canadian Celiac Association to discuss food bullying in the context of the gluten free diet. The act of making someone feel bad for the food they are eating often comes from a place of ignorance about celiac disease and non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Education can be a key factor in your response to a food bully, but issues get more complicated depending on who is the being bullied and who the bully is. Children often face negative comments on their food when away from home and adults often have negative interactions with family members, or they are seen as being needy and high maintenance. Nicole is able to put food bullying in perspective with tips and strategies to empower you or your chid. Nicole gave us her email, Nicole.Byrom@celiac.ca, if you have any suggestions for issues you are facing that the CCA may be able to help with.

This episode is a fun and informative conversation with two of my friends about Gluten Free Pizza. Fortunately, my friends Ellen Bayens (theceliacscene.com) and Cinde Little (everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca) are experts when it comes to ordering pizza in a restaurant and making pizza in your home kitchen. Ellen gives us some great tips on the questions you need to ask to ensure your gluten free pizza is safe to eat in a restaurant. As well, she gives us some information you can use to decide if ordering a takeout pizza is safe for you. Here is the link to Ellen’s list of questions to ask and the Gluten Free Pizza restaurant she spoke about –

bit.ly/900DegreesPizza
Cinde and I talk about some of the options available to you if you want to make a gluten free pizza at home. There are premade pizza crusts, pizza dough and dough mixes. Although each of these options may be gluten free, the best gluten free pizza crust will likely come after experimenting with different yeast-based crust recipes. Techniques are very different from wheat pizzas and can often be best learned from a baking class. Whether you’re baking your pizza in a very hot oven, on a pizza stone or steel, or on an outdoor barbeque, Cinde gives us lots of tips to make your best gluten free pizza. You may want to join one of Cinde’s baking classes to gain some confidence and set you up for success with gluten free pizza.

I had the pleasure of speaking with Maria and Emma about Nairn’s Gluten Free Products imported from Scotland. Maria is the importer/distributor and Emma is the Brand Manager in the UK. Maria clarifies the requirements of importing a product and ensuring the packaging and labelling meets Canadian standards. Emma fills us in on the long history of oats in Scotland, as well as the origins of the Nairn’s bakery. She details how and why Nairn’s started their gluten free product line, as well as how they source oats and test for gluten. You can follow Nairn’s on Instagram @nairns_canada, and on Facebook at Nairn’s Oat Crackers Canada. Recipes can be found on the UK website at nairns.com/recipes. You can purchase Nairn’s products at some of the large grocery chains in Canada and online at www.well.ca. More recipe ideas can be found in the CCA 2021 Holiday Survival Guide – download your copy at https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/2021-CCA-Holiday-Guide.pdf

It’s the beginning of February, so that may mean Groundhog Day to some, but to me it means a lively conversation with Ellen Bayens of www.theceliacscene.com.
Ellen and I talk about a study looking at a link between atopic dermatitis and celiac disease, along with a publication of a report on increasing prices for gluten free in the UK. We also look at a paper from Turkey about the common myths surrounding celiac disease – most are universal. Ellen brings to my attention that Earth’s Own Oat Beverage will no longer be gluten free and we explore the why’s and how’s of that happening. Ellen highlights a couple of my recent podcasts Ep 207 about Suki the Gluten Detection Dog as well as my Gluten Free Weigh In episodes with Aaron. Every Tuesday, Selena Devries answers questions on her Instagram Story (@celiac_dietitian), but I never knew how to send her a question. Ellen walks us through the process, which is simple, but unless I was ready to do it, wouldn’t have explored. Here are the links to the topics Ellen and I spoke about.

On this episode I speak with Kendra, the human who trained Suki to be a Gluten Detection Dog. Kendra speaks about how Suki was trained to alert her if any food, drink or medication contains gluten. Kendra trained Suki during Covid, and although Suki is ready to accompany Kendra into restaurants, stores and on public transportation, the training is ongoing. Kendra takes us through some of the interesting instances when Suki was able to detect very small amounts of gluten, which Kendra would not have been able to detect from ingredient lists. I preface and follow up my conversation with Kendra with some general information on working dogs, that you, like me, may not have been aware of. I’m looking forward to a follow-up conversation with Kendra, so if you have any questions for her, please email me at acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com
You can follow Suki on Instagram at @sukipwd
Kendra also mentioned her trainer, the website is www.crescentservicedogs.com

On this episode I’m speaking with Nicole Byrom RD, and Caleigh McAulay, dietitians with the Canadian Celiac Association. At the CCA’s recent virtual conference, Nicole and Caleigh presented the new CCA Labelling Guide, which, although there have not been new regulations on gluten labelling, clarifies many of the questions Nicole and Caleigh regularly receive. We talk about the term “may contain” and levels of risk involved in certain labelling terminology used in Canada. You can access their presentation and print out the guide at -

There is a new app for your phone which will replace the pocket dictionary from CCA to determine if an ingredient is gluten free.

The beginning of a new year is often an opportunity for many of us to re-evaluate what we are eating, and take some time to re-set. I invited Cinde Little the everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca on the podcast to give me some ideas of ways to add more variety, and flavour into my gluten free diet.

On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the Canadian Celiac Association to bring us up to date on recent relevant news items. We look more into how the CCA worked with the Ontario government to inform the Ministry of Health about the advantages of covering the cost of the celiac blood panel for the purpose of diagnosis, and the pilot program that has come from those efforts. Recently, a story about a celiac woman held in travel quarantine made the national news as she was denied a gluten free meal for 40 hours. The CCA got involved to help the woman and bring more awareness of this unacceptable situation. Melissa and I also talked about the labelling of “natural” products, including supplements, and natural treatments. Until now, these products did not require labelling that would identify sources of gluten and recently, the CCA has been working with Health Canada to change the regulations. You can find out more at www.celiac.ca/news-events/news/.

It’s finally here – Episode 200 of the Podcast. As promised, I have handed over the podcast to Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to ask me questions, which I didn’t know in advance. This is by far the longest episode of the A Canadian Celiac Podcast. Ellen went out of her way to contact many interesting guests from past episodes to solicit questions and comments. I am humbled by their input and Ellen’s efforts. Thank You to all who participated.

On this episode I have the pleasure of speaking with Taleen Benson blogger and cookbook author. Taleen started her blog after her husband was diagnosed with a condition that required a gluten free, egg free diet. Taleen has a loyal following for her blog called “Just As Tasty”, and she was encouraged to write a cookbook of gluten free, egg free recipes. The book, called “Just as Tasty, Gluten-free and Eggless Baking Through the Seasons” is available for purchase on Amazon. Taleen explained the process of writing her own cookbook as well as having it available with Amazon print on demand. She was kind enough to send along her recipe for Molasses Cookies
Makes about 18 cookies
1 ¾ cups (259g) gluten-free flour blend
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, room temperature
⅔ cup (133g) light brown sugar, packed
⅓ cup (113g) unsulphured molasses
1 tablespoon Bob’s Red Mill Egg Replacer, mixed with 2 tbsp water
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ cup (50g) granulated sugar, for rolling
- Preheat the oven to 350℉. Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and salt together. Set aside.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter with the brown sugar until smooth. Add the molasses, prepared egg replacer, and vanilla extract and beat to incorporate. Add the dry ingredients and mix on low speed until combined.
- Roll balls of cookie dough, measuring about 1 tablespoon per cookie, then roll in the granulated sugar. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. Use your hand to press down on each one to flatten slightly. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for at least 10 minutes before removing.
Notes:
- Once mixed with water, the egg replacer must sit for 1 minute to thicken. If you are not looking to replace eggs, you should be able to use 1 egg instead of the egg replacer.

On this episode I chat with Howard Selig who is not only a Registered Dietitian, but a trained chef. After recognizing the nutritional benefits of adding flax in the preparation of some foods for residents of a care home, Howard branched out filling the needs of other care homes by grinding flax seeds for them. Providing flax in different forms to others soon became a business. Howard explains the many nutritional advantages of flax and how it can be a benefit to the gluten free diet. With his baking skills, Howard decided to formulate a flour mix, gluten free of course, along with baking mixes (the one for bread just needs you to add water!). Salene Pyke works with Howard and she explained what products they sell and how to get free shipping. You can find out more on their website at www.flaxflour.com .

On this episode I speak with a man who identified a void in the gluten free marketplace – that of a healthy, good tasting hamburger bun. Gus Klemos tells us his why, and more importantly his how he came up with a completely newly formulated gluten free bread that he named UnBun. Gus is from Toronto and in a few short years from very humble beginnings, with a great deal of work, UnBun is now selling across both Canada and the US. Gus discusses what makes his bread products different, and it makes us think about what benefits we are all looking for from our bread. You can likely find UnBun products in not only your supermarket, but as staples in your fast food outlets.

It’s great for me to have returning guests on the podcast. Nicole Byrom RD, works with the Canadian Celiac Association as the Health Promotions Manager. When I contacted her about coming back on the podcast, she had a list of things she wanted to inform listeners about. The topic of arsenic in our food comes up often. Nicole tells us why this is important to the celiac population and some ways to reduce arsenic exposure. Nicole is involved in an upcoming webinar about Type I Diabetes and its relation to celiac disease. There is a link below for more information on the webinar.
Since this is October, the topic of Halloween candy came up. We both discussed how our celiac daughters were able to make the best of what could be a difficult situation. Below is a link to the list of safe Halloween candy from the CCA. Nicole filled us in on the growing practice of setting out “teal pumpkins” to signify that the house has non-food or allergen friendly treats to give away.
Nicole told us of the upcoming publications from the CCA as well she reminded us of the CCA Virtual Conference to be held on November 13th and 14th. Below are links to sign up for the virtual conference, as well as to be on the email list for CCA publications. It’s not too late donate to the teams from the CCA across the country running in the Scotiabank Run, as per the link below. Nicole suggests you donate to her team BC CCA, as there is a bit of a competition going on.

Everyone has a diagnosis story, and I enjoy listening to and sharing many or them. This episode of the podcast is a conversation with Beau Bristow of Nashville TN. Beau was diagnosed as an adult and had a long list of symptoms, which to him were unrelated. Of particular note,
was the brain fog, which by reason of the name, you don’t realize at the time, and only once the fog has lifted do you understand what you were missing. Finding suitable restaurants is a pain point for most of us, but in Beau’s case, he was determined to help solve this problem, not only for those of us on a gluten free diet, but for people suffering from other allergies. The approach of the website https://picknic.app/ is to help someone requiring a special diet to find a restaurant that understands and follows suitable procedures for you to eat safely. You can signup on the website to receive new information. The website will soon be an app, to be downloaded, but at the moment it is focusing mostly in the Nashville area to get it right – how to onboard restaurants and the rate them as a “pick” for your special diet or not. Beau has also asked for feedback from those on a gluten free diet and you can reach him at info@picknic.app. You can also find Picknic on Facebook and Instagram @gopicknic.

For many people September and October are not as much about Autumn as they are about pumpkin spice everything. Being a baker, this has always interested me, but I have to say, except for pumpkin pie, I had pretty much stayed away. Cinde Little, of the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet was the best person to get me up to speed on pumpkin spice – is it gluten free? what do we have to look out for? where should we expect to find it? and can we use it at home in baking or drinks?
Cinde sent along a photo of her favourite Pumpkin Date Cake, which looks very yummy and you can find the recipe on her blog. As well, she had a work in progress for a pumpkin spice syrup to use at home. I’ve played with what she had, and have given a recipe below, so you can make your own special café drinks at home. After recording with Cinde, I did go out and buy a couple of pie pumpkins. You can see photos and read what I did with them on Episode #193 of my blog www.acanadianceliacblog.com. You can find Cinde at www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca.
Homemade Pumpkin Spice Syrup for Café Drinks
1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups sugar
Spices – 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon, 1 tsp ground cloves, 1 tsp ground ginger, 2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/3 – ½ cup pumpkin puree
½ tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Place water and sugar in a saucepan on medium heat. As the mixture heats, add the spices and stir well. Add pumpkin puree depending on your preference – the 1/3 cup will be a mild flavour and the ½ cup will be more pronounced. Heat liquid to simmering. Continue simmer for 5-10 minutes, watching it doesn’t boil over. Remove from heat. Add vanilla extract (optional), which will give a somewhat richer taste. Let mixture cool for 5 minutes. If your pumpkin puree is still a bit lumpy you can use an immersion blender to smooth out the liquid. Pour syrup through a sieve to remove any larger bits of the spice blend or pumpkin. Store in a squirt container or bottle in refrigerator.

It’s the beginning of the month again, so I get the pleasure of speaking to Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about some of the topics of interest that have come up during the past month. We discuss the diagnosis story of the family of a Neonatologist in the US who sought out the team at the Celiac Disease Program at Boston Children’s Hospital for help. Ellen and I discuss how comprehensive the whole family approach to treating and further diagnosing family members is. See the link below to the article about this family’s journey. Ellen and I go on to look at some of the feedback we’ve had about the stickers and wristbands from www.celiackidstuff.com and how families can use these tools to help their kids eat safely. The silicone wristbands for kids which say – I’m a Celiac Kid I Can’t Eat Gluten – are now being made available for gluten free bakeries to sell directly. If you know of a bakery that might be interested in offering the wristbands, please let me know and I can reach out to them.
Ellen and I speak about bagels and doughnuts – I’ve ever the purest, but explain to her why fried doughnuts are rare. Also, below is my recipe for Gluten Free Doughnut Holes.
In the previous episode of the podcast, I recorded a discussion with my adult daughter Deanna, about our differing attitudes towards celiac disease and the gluten free diet. I am grateful for the opportunity to have these discussions as I suspect that much the same dynamic is going on in other families with multi-generational celiac disease. Also, at the end of that podcast, Episode 191, I included a short “blooper reel” which Ellen refers to and gives a classic insight into mother/daughter interactions.
Episode 200 of the podcast is approaching, and I’ve decided to mark that milestone with a special episode allowing Ellen and my audience to ask me questions. If you have a question, or comment you’d like Ellen to pose or discuss with me, please email her at ellen@theceliacscene.com.
https://theceliacscene.com/sending-kids-school-celiac-disease/
Sue’s Doughnut Holes
1 ½ cups gluten free flour blend (I use ½ cup of each white rice flour, potato starch & corn starch)
1/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup skim milk powder
1 tsp guar or xanthan gum (omit if your flour blend includes gum)
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp oil
2 eggs
2 tbsp water
Blend together all the dry ingredients. Add vanilla, oil, eggs and water. Add more water 1 tbsp at a time if batter is too thick. Blend by hand, or with a mixer. Batter should be thicker than pancake batter but not as thick as cookie dough.
In a saucepan heat oil to 375° (only fill saucepan less than half full with oil, leaving enough room for the bubbling expansion of the batter). Drop spoonfuls of the batter into the hot oil, cooking only 3 or 4 at a time. Turn to cook evenly till dark golden. Remove onto absorbent paper towel. While still warm, place in a bag with sugar and cinnamon to coat. Can be kept in sealed container 3-4 days. If you want to eat the doughnuts right away, you can drizzle them in icing or chocolate sauce, but just know they will not keep well if they get soggy (so eat them up!)

On this episode I speak with my daughter Deanna. She has been a guest on the podcast in the past, and I take this opportunity to ask her about some of her attitudes and coping skills dealing with celiac disease and how those compare to my approaches. I was a Mom of two beautiful girls when I was diagnosed, with Deanna’s diagnosis coming five months later, just in time for her fifth birthday. Having suffered from an unknown cause for some very diverse symptoms for many years, my diagnosis became one of questioning every food, not only for me, but for my daughter. In contrast, Deanna doesn’t remember her symptoms prior to diagnosis and has been raised to understand the diet completely and take it in stride. Hopefully, you will find some aspects of each of our perspectives in your approach to the diet and how it affects your life. I couldn’t resist the urge to include some of the bloopers from our conversation in a mix up at the end of the podcast. It was a joy to have such a heart-to-heart with my all-grown-up daughter.

The Canadian Celiac Association successfully presented two virtual conferences in 2020 and is now gearing up for the 2021 Conference. I speak with Nicole Byrom RD from the CCA who is organizing the conference. This conference will be somewhat different from all other CCA conferences in the past, in that of the two days, November 13th and 14th, the first day will be geared towards those who have been diagnosed for two years or less. The second day will focus on information for those who have been diagnosed longer than two years. Certainly, anyone is welcome to join either day, but I find it intriguing that this distinction was made. You can find out more about the conference, the speaker lineup and how to register by going to the CCA website and clicking on News & Events where you’ll find the Conference information listed - https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/national-conference/

On this episode I speak with Carmen from the Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association who came up with the idea of organizing a sleep away camp for kids with celiac disease. The camp was to have occurred last year, but as we all know, the pandemic changed that. The camp did go ahead this past August and I’m thrilled to be able to talk to Carmen about both organizing the camp as well as being on site to ensure the food was prepared and served strictly gluten free. Carmen has two daughters and they both attended camp, along with some of their friends. Carmen’s daughter, Rosie, has celiac disease, and I was thrilled to be able to ask her what she enjoyed about camp, both the activities and the meals. You can find more information at campceliac.ca
Camp was made better for the donations of very generous sponsors, some of which are –
Schar Gluten Free
Rizopia Gluten Free Pasta
O’Doughs Gluten Free
Farm Boy Grocery
All Free Allergen Friendly
Purest Foods
The Bean Sprout – Dedicated Gluten Free Chinese Food

It’s the beginning of September, so it’s my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene about the studies and articles she has found over the past month to present to us. We talk about a study looking at the gut microbiome of infants, in an effort to identify differences over time in the gut microbiome that later develops into celiac disease. As well, we look at an article from Beyond Celiac that examines some of the perceived difficulties of the gluten free diet and how they might be a hinderance to adherence. Ellen tells us of an adventure vacation that was very celiac safe.
Ellen has compiled a list of 10 products that might be helpful when the time comes to sending kids back to school with lunches. Apart from the food, we also chat about the importance of kids being able to advocate for themselves and their diet, which brings up a short discussion about the stickers and wristbands available from Celiac Kid Stuff.

Some good news on this podcast from Julie Greene of the CCA and Marina Michaelides of Kinnikinnick. Kinnikinnick has partnered with the Canadian Celiac Association in celebration of their 30th birthday. Partnering with the CCA means helping them with ongoing special projects. In this case, Kinnikinnick is sponsoring the wide distribution of the Growing Up Celiac book for families. Additionally, they are hosting a contest for kids which will run for 30 days, with a terrific prize pack each day! Kids are encouraged to go on the CCA website to enter (with a parent or guardian) by spotting the difference in two pictures – kids love to do that! I am thrilled that Celiac Kid Stuff stickers and wristbands were chosen to be a part of the prize packs.
Kinnikinnick is also introducing some new products for their birthday, including three new flavours of Kinni-TOOS cookies. Currently, if you place an order of a minimum $50 you get a box with all the new flavours together (until supplies last). If you haven’t purchased from Kinnikinnick in a while you may not realize that they have switched most of their products to “free from” most of the major allergens including milk and eggs (they were always nut free). If you enjoy Kinnikinnick foods, (and who doesn’t) now is the time to order while they are in a great giving birthday mode!
Here’s the link to the CCA website to enter the contest - https://www.celiac.ca/

As the pandemic has progressed, organizations have become more creative in adapting their annual events to still continue, but in a different format. That is certainly the case with the Scotiabank Run being held in Toronto. The CCA is heading up Team Celiac and inviting anyone across the country to Step Up for Team Celiac and participate in whatever way they can – choose a suitable distance, walk and run, challenge yourself with more than one distance, or run during the in-person event in Toronto. Other cities host Scotiabank Runs and some of our celiac groups are very involved in the events in their own locations, but if you can’t participate locally, or the Toronto run is your local run, head to the CCA website to sign up to Step Up for Team Celiac. Julie and I also discussed the upcoming virtual CCA conference, which has a different format this year. The first day is for the yet to be, or recently, diagnosed with the second day being for the those of us who have been diagnosed more than a couple of years. The CCA is also asking for our help in formulating their proposal for labelling of some foods, including supplements that do not currently fall under the labelling regulations for food. More information on these initiatives can be found on the CCA website – www.celiac.ca
You can learn more about many of the topics we discussed on the social media platforms for the CCA and the Events page of the website at –

A Conversation with Cinde Little
On this episode I speak with Cinde Little, a guest I recently spoke with on the podcast regarding her virtual baking classes. Cinde has released a comprehensive course for those new to gluten free, as well as those who are continuing to struggle with the gluten free lifestyle. In Cinde’s words –
“This is an introduction to my course called HEALTHY ME, a guide to take you from overwhelmed to confident in 30 days. The course is for you if you're new to the gluten free diet or still struggling to stay on it. Your lifestyle is as individual as you are so the course allows you to determine what is most important right now. It's designed to be personal and includes 9 areas of life because a gluten free lifestyle isn't just about the diet. HEALTHY ME is an acronym that stands for: Healing, Eating, Advocate, Lifestyle, Travel, House Rules, Your Community, Medical Team and Education. As soon as you register for the course you get instant access to all 9 video modules, a workbook with personal action plan and a Resource Guide to get started right away.

I look forward to chatting with Ellen Bayens of www.theceliacscene.com at the beginning of every month to get caught up on celiac and gluten free news that has come to light over the past few weeks. On this episode, Ellen and I speak about a press release from the UK regarding the price increase of rice flour and how it might affect gluten free food producers. Ellen also tells us a diagnosis story from a family with a young daughter which highlights many of the frustrations felt by families with a sick child. Both Ellen and I are excited to talk about a new venture we’ve started to support celiac kids and their families. Our website www.celiackidstuff.com has begun selling stickers and wristbands that let kids tell everyone around them that they are special, they are celiac, and they need to eat a gluten free diet. The stickers and wristbands are aimed at kids from ages 4-12, as well as special stickers for caregivers to use when sending food to school or get togethers. On a similar, but different note, Ellen and I speak about restaurants in her area. There seems to be abundance of places to get gluten free fish and chips, or maybe I noticed this because its such a treat for me, and hopefully, other celiacs as well. Ellen mentions a very clean brand of jerky that is well labelled gluten free and free from other additives. Also, if you are in the Victoria area, we identify a discount you can get, just for mentioning www.theceliacscene.com.

I spoke with Lisa Rigney on Episode 180 of the podcast about what happens when a child gets diagnosed. Realizing it actually becomes a diagnosis for the entire family, I asked Lisa back to talk about some of the resources she found and used after her daughter was diagnosed. Recently, Lisa wrote an article for the newsletter of the Edmonton Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association listing the resources that she often recommends to families. We look at her list and how she was able to benefit from becoming part of both local and virtual celiac communities. Here is an extensive list of resources from Lisa’s article.

It’s always special when I have a returning guest to the podcast. I last spoke in person to Jerry Bigam during the “State of Celiac Symposium” organized by the Canadian Celiac Association in Toronto more than two years ago. So much has happened since. I was curious as to how our trusted gluten free businesses faired during the complete upheaval of the past 18 months. Turns out Kinnikinnick was well positioned and took swift action to both maintain their direct to consumer base, and take advantage of the many changes that were taking place in our lives, including staying at home, having kids out of school and our reluctance to venture out for shopping. Jerry has led Kinnikinnick through the past 18 months with a strong vision for the future, and for a commitment to celiac consumers.

On this episode I speak with food blogger and recipe developer Cinde Little, also known as The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. Over the past year, Cinde has pivoted her in-person baking and cooking classed to online classes, and this is where I spent an enjoyable evening this past week. This may not seem like a big deal, but Cinde has worked to achieve a high quality of audio, video, timing and student experience. She has two cameras on her, so we can see her in her kitchen, as well as a closeup of her work area. I learned something in our class making biscuit-style cinnamon buns and it was nice to hear Cinde say she learns from her students in every class. You can follow Cinde on Instagram at everyday.gf.gourmet. As well, you can browse some of her recipes and sign up for a baking class on her website at www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca

On this episode I speak with Lisa Rigney of the Edmonton Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association about her family’s experience of having a child diagnosed with celiac disease. Lisa takes us through what happened, and more importantly, how the family coped. We all understand a serious diagnosis is overwhelming, but I think by sharing our experiences, it lets us all realize that we can only do our best in trying times. Lisa explains some of the situations she wasn’t prepared for, as well as the discussions she had with other family members, friends and the school. At the end of our conversation, we agreed to meet up again soon to talk about the support systems available to families of the newly diagnosed, and expectations as the child gets older.

On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss the many topics and articles she brought to our attention over the past month. To begin the conversation, I invited Tamir Barzilai from the company honeycomb.ai. Tamir’s company is developing an app which will allow you to set a profile with your dietary restrictions, and give you specific meal suggestions at restaurants to meet your needs. The app will be released in late summer or early fall, and will charge for use on a monthly basis. Tamir invited our listeners to sign up for the app prior to release at a cost of $14 (US) to own the app for life, without monthly charges. There are other advantages to joining the beta testing for the app when it releases. Tamir explains what makes this app with artificial intelligence different from other data based and often crowd sourced information apps. You can sign up as an early adopter for the app at –

Ellen and I go on to chat about three online medical resources that provide indepth information on celiac disease and other related gut health issues. One of the resources compares celiac disease to IBS, a condition many of us have been diagnosed with.
Ellen and I talk about a recent article on money saving strategies for the gluten free diet, and a study performing a new type of mass screening of children in Italy for celiac disease. As well, Ellen talks about our unique ability to host visiting students who require a gluten free diet.

A Conversation with Desiree Nielsen and Ellen Bayens
A plant-based diet has many formats and can go by many names including vegetarian and vegan. On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens about her recent pivot from gluten free to a plant-based gluten free diet. Recently, Ellen introduced me to a fellow podcaster, Desiree Nielsen, who is also a registered dietitian. This was a great opportunity to ask all the questions I’ve ever had about a plant-based diet and how it fits for someone who must adhere to a strict gluten free diet. Ellen talks about how she decided to try a plant-based diet, how she started and how she’s truly enjoying exploring new foods and flavours. Desiree walks us through the simplicity of the diet and gives us some specific tips to keep plant-based gluten free. You can listen to Desiree’s podcast – The Allsorts Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, or you can listen online at https://desireerd.com/podcast/. You can also find more information about Desiree’s book and her recipes at https://desireerd.com/.

There are many things that those of us on a gluten free diet must learn quickly once we receive our diagnosis. For many of us the most challenging is how to prepare and safely eat a gluten free diet, while living in a household that eats gluten. Carla and I discuss this common situation. We offer different suggestions for day-to-day coping and highlight the idea that every family situation is different. What might work for you and your family may not be workable for another. The strictness of the diet is something we all have in common, as well as the frustration of educating our family members. Both Carla and I agree that over time, as a family you will settle into routines that are work-able for your situation – family members begin to understand and accept, children get older and have a greater understanding, and the celiac family member gets better, which makes it all worthwhile. Carla is a co-host on my other podcast “Gluten Free Weigh In” and she finds following an intermittent fasting lifestyle works for weight loss and makes her gluten free diet easier to cope with.

On this episode I speak with Jon Murthy, Head of Global Marketing for BRCGS. This is the organization that certifies foods for the CCA gluten free logo, as part of their many certification programs. Originally, this operation was performed by a relatively small, but knowledgeable group in Canada, but moving this important function to a multi-national, multi-discipline certification body, brings an entirely new perspective to gluten free food safety. Jon discusses the process a company must go through to achieve certification, as well as the complexities of companies producing and exporting ingredients and prepared foods to maintain their certification status. This global perspective is a complicated concept, but BRCGS certainly seems up to the international challenge.

It’s the beginning of June and that means another informative conversation with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. This past month Ellen has brought us a great deal of information. We start out with a couple of studies, the first into attitudes among celiacs towards dating. There is much hesitation, social anxiety and a tendency towards risky behaviour (gluten-wise). Although Ellen and I are not in the target age group for this study, we can relate to many of the hesitancies from our own lives that are amplified in the dating scene. The second study is an eye-opening look at the awareness of celiac disease in the dental profession. Dr. Melissa Ing, whom I have interviewed for this podcast, surveyed a group of dental professionals before a celiac information session and then again after. She was able to teach them a great deal in a short time regarding questions to be asked when certain symptoms are identified.
Ellen has once again brought us new resources, we didn’t even know we needed. Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto has come out with new teaching modules about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. These modules are interactive and suitable for young children to do with parents, or for older kids to do on their own. The information is set out in an easy to use format that would be useful to educate other family members and friends. Ellen shows us a novel way to use the restaurant translation cards from celiactravel.com. On a different level Honeycomb.ai brings us an artificial intelligence solution to finding just the right meal at just the right restaurant to meet your specialty diet needs. Ellen introduces us to Desiree Neilsen RD, who has started a new podcast called The Allsorts Podcast, in which she gets down to earth with practical diet knowledge that will help us all make better food choices. She is a proponent of a plant based diet, and that suits Ellen just fine.
Two related topics are discussed – the 10 biggest challenges faced by the gluten free community, and how to order a gluten free meal at a restaurant. There’s lots of overlap here. Finally Ellen tells us about a study that is being done for US patients on atopic dermatitis, and you can get paid to participate. So much news, I think this is my longest interview episode yet. Thanks Ellen.

On last week’s episode, #172 I spoke with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the CCA about things that were happening at the national level for Celiac Awareness Month. On this episode I’m speaking with Julie Greene about everything that’s happening across the country to mark this month, and in particular Sunday, May 16th, Celiac Awareness Day. Julie makes note of all the cities and towns across the country that are having buildings, monuments, bridges and signs lit up green for Celiac Awareness. As well, many chapters and groups across the country are hosting a variety of virtual events for celiacs, children and the newly diagnosed. You can follow many of the events on the CCA website at https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/events/
As well you can follow the social media around Celiac Awareness Month with the hashtags –

On this episode I catch up with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the Canadian Celiac Association. Melissa, along with her small staff is handling the promotion of May, Celiac Awareness Month from a big picture, national perspective. We chat about some of the initiatives that are being done to “Shine a Light” on celiac disease, by having iconic buildings and structures across the country lit up green during this month. If you live near a “Shine the Light” event, please take a photo and post it with the hashtag #ShineALightOnCeliac. We talk about the tag line, or slogan for this year – “It’s Not Pretend”, how it was arrived at and who the target audience is. Melissa is also able to share with us the participation that large and small companies as well as private sponsors are having during this month. I was asked to make three recipe videos using Promise Bread products as a thank you to them for being a lead sponsor of Celiac Awareness Month. The videos will be airing on the CCA’s social media beginning on Sunday May 16th, Celiac Awareness Day. Please watch and share – I really enjoyed making them (and you get to see me in my kitchen). If you want to share other information about your celiac journey online, please use the hashtag #ItsNotPretend, to be part of the conversation. There’s lots going on at the national level to do with Celiac Awareness Month, as well, there are initiatives across the country on a smaller scale. To get the information on those activities I will be talking with Julie Greene of the CCA for next week’s episode.

Happy Celiac Awareness Month! This is the first episode of the month and that means I get to discuss a variety of different topics about celiac disease and the gluten free diet with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I chat about a Canadian study on the expense and social challenges of the gluten free diet. The study looks at the myth of the diet for weight loss as well as some positive trends with those of us eating gluten free. Ellen introduces me to Gnu Sante, a company making “lunchbox friendly” smoothies for kids that are gluten free and actually good for them. Ellen and I talk very briefly about the suitability of a plant-based diet for those of us eating gluten free. I acknowledged that this is a big subject, and deserves its own podcast episode – something Ellen and I will arrange in the near future. Two very resourceful ladies came into focus on this episode – Selena Devries RD and Cinde Little. Both have large followings on social media – Selena for her professional help with the gluten free diet and Cinde for her new “Healthy Me” course as well as her recipes and videos. Since May is Celiac Awareness Month, I tease Ellen with some of the activities I’m involved with, including recipe videos and a curbside gluten free food drive.

A Conversation with Lukas Hahn
This episode started from a discussion with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for the April roundup episode 166 when she told me the story of a student from abroad, studying in Victoria in a homestay program, who was having difficulty as she required a gluten free diet. Ellen assisted in solving the problem, but it brought so many other questions to my mind about homestay and a special diet. On this episode I speak with Lukas Hahn, Manager – Homestay Program, Greater Victoria School District, who helps organize both the students coming to study in Victoria, as well as the families they will stay with. Lukas gives us a great perspective on the opportunities hosting a student gives a family and large community. We discuss what a host family is required to do, some of the responsibilities and some of the perks. We talk about the practical experiences of a foreign student on a gluten free diet, as well as how families who are already gluten free can be invaluable to the program.

A Conversation with Dr. Melissa Ing, Djenane Lemaire and Miranda Boynton
Every once in a while, I hear from one of my previous guests on the podcast that they’ve done something that might be of interest to my listeners. This was the case when Dr. Melissa Ing, who I spoke with on Episode 106 “Celiac Disease and Dental Education”, contacted me recently about research and a poster project a couple of her students had done. On this episode, I speak with Dr. Ing, and two of her students Djenane Lemaire and Miranda Boynton about testing they did on common materials used in dental offices to determine if they contained gluten. The testing included soaps and hand lotions, as well as materials that went directly into a patient’s mouth. The poster was very well received, being awarded second place in a large competition and being chosen for presentation at a major dental conference. We talk about how dentistry can be a first line to diagnosis and how rewarding it was for the students to have their research project about gluten exposure in the dental office so widely received.

This week is a delightful and very informative conversation with Mike Rose. Both Mike and his wife Shirley require a gluten free diet. They were considering leaving their home to move to a retirement residence when Mike got to work researching and investigating the options available to them. Mike was a tireless worker for the Canadian Celiac Association for many years and he brought all that knowledge to help him find just the right residence that would be able to provide a good healthy variety of gluten free options to the couple’s meals. Mike shares how his search went, has suggestions if you’re going to be investigating retirement homes, and now that he is moved in is continuing to both educate and communicate with the chef, servers and management for all those who require a gluten free diet.

This week’s interview is something, that oddly I have unique knowledge about – brewing beer at home. I speak with Peter Corrin of the Zero Tolerance Gluten Free Home Brew Club who answers all my questions about the differences and unique challenges in brewing your own gluten free beer. This may or may not be something you’ve thought of doing, and Peter gives us some resources to investigate how their group is making the process easier for anyone, whether you have previous experience with home brewing or not. We talk about the costs, expectations, and some issues unique to gluten free. You can find out more online at –

Once again it’s time to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and information she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I speak about the curious condition of Giardia and its similarities with celiac disease. We re-visit my recent podcast about the dual-branded alcoholic beverages that are causing great confusion in the celiac/gluten free community. A new drink called Bud Light Seltzer will soon be on the market in Canada, and Ellen and I both have questions. Ellen introduces us to Mike Rose who, requiring a gluten free diet for himself and his wife, has recently moved into a retirement home. I will be having Mike on an upcoming podcast to take a closer look at his challenges and decisions on making the move. Ellen and I can’t get away from talking about food and this month is no different. We chat about a gluten free pizza truck in Victoria called The Art of Slow Food. Ellen has also recently discovered Brazilian Cheese puffs sold frozen from a company called Forno de Minas. I’ve included a link to the Brazilian Market, so you can see what they look like. Ellen shared with us the story of a student from away staying with a local family in her area. The student, who reached out to Ellen is celiac and the homestay family is not familiar with the gluten free diet. Ellen put out a call, and very quickly many gluten free families stepped up to host the student. The problem was solved – well done Ellen!

On this episode I speak with Tabitha who has an Instagram page called Gluten_Free_Canada. The page caught my attention because it only had gluten free grocery store foods. I reached out to Tabitha and was curious to see why she started the page, and what her best food finds were. Tabitha has been diagnosed celiac for more than ten years and enjoys both grocery shopping and reading labels. She makes sure to only feature foods she enjoys. Reading labels is a skill that must be acquired over time and is particularly difficult for the newly diagnosed. Tabitha features some foods on her page, which I didn’t realize were gluten free. I suppose we all get into a routine with our food choices and often don’t take the time to look for new options. Tabitha is now doing that for me.
You can find Tabitha’s Instagram page at Gluten_Free_Canada.

This episode is a conversation with someone changing the landscape of not only gluten free snacking, but snacking in general by providing new healthy options in some unexpected flavours. Julie Bednarski is a Registered Dietitian as well as a trained chef. Her vision for healthy snacks has brought us an entire product line from the company she founded called Healthy Crunch. Her goal to produce safe snacks that are not only gluten free, but top allergen free, means that Healthy Crunch needed to develop their own flavourings from real ingredients. This may not sound special, but in the food industry it is most common to produce a product, then prepare it with a variety of different commercial flavourings to fill the product line. Healthy Crunch uses read fruits, vegetables and other foods to create the natural flavourings for it’s unique foods including seed butters, coconut chips, trail mixes and instant lattes, with certifications including gluten free, vegan, paleo, keto, kosher and school approved. You can find Healthy Crunch online at https://healthycrunch.com

Let’s start the blog with the show notes for this Episode –
On this episode I speak with my daughter Deanna regarding a curious question she posed to me recently about some newly launched seltzer drinks appearing in the beer stores here in Ontario. These drinks contain barley malt, so off limits to us. The problem is the same drinks are in our LCBO (liquor stores) in Ontario, same branding, but with vodka or another alcohol and no barley malt. This means that we should be able to drink the ones bought from the liquor store. The problem boils down to the branding. These two different drinks have the same name, the same branding and packaging. The malt beverage says in very small letters on the packaging “malt beverage”. Deanna and I discuss this problem and what issues we see it causing for those of us requiring a gluten free diet. Is ordering a drink on a summer patio now going to add another layer of difficulty for us?

It’s the beginning of March and time again to talk with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to delve into some of the studies and information she has brought us over the past month about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Ellen and I talk about a new non-invasive patch that might make diagnosis of celiac disease easier and might be a great tool where patients don’t have access to sophisticated medical labs. Also, there is a study Ellen has highlighted done in the UK looking at why the diagnosis of celiac disease is often missed or slowed and what steps could be taken to overcome these issues. The necessity for a gluten challenge to diagnose those who have already started a gluten free diet has long been an issue for our community. Ellen tells us that researchers are working on a test that might allow those already on a gluten free diet to still be properly diagnosed. I was curious to learn from Ellen about one of the directions of research into Covid-19 that might have repercussions for celiac disease. Long-haul Covid-19 patients are showing signs of an autoimmune reaction which the researchers find curious and may lead to more investigation into the triggers for autoimmune conditions including celiac disease. Ellen and I always get around to talking about food and on this episode we discuss an article presented by Schar about wheat starch, which is common in Europe and not well understood in North America.

We’ve spoken before about some of the differences in the diagnosis of a child as opposed to an adult. On this episode I speak with Lisa Rigney about how her daughter was diagnosed and some of the immediate changes it made to the family dynamic. It’s easy in hindsight to look back and see some symptoms in a child that were clearly missed as the family went about their daily lives. Lisa has recently begun working with the Edmonton Chapter of the CCA and hopes her family’s story will help others on the difficult journey of having a child diagnosed with celiac disease, when neither parent has been diagnosed.

Diagnosis stories are always interesting. Some are very short, some take longer, and some standout because of their complexity. On this episode I speak with Dr. Jenny Jagers, who has a doctorate in medicine, but is not a medical doctor. She was able to recount her time before diagnosis, as well as the varied symptoms that led to confusion and a negative test for celiac disease. The real story though occurs after she receives her diagnosis. Jenny is from a very large family and what she did next had a profound effect on so many others. Jenny is now a volunteer with the Calgary Chapter of the CCA and it’s very clear, she is going to continue to make an impact on the lives of so many going forward.

This week I’m thrilled to be speaking with Hayley Repton, producer of the short film – “Glutened”. The film is a fast-paced look at a young woman’s rollercoaster journey after diagnosis; how her life changes and how she comes to terms with the many aspects of her new lifestyle. Hayley let us in on some behind the scenes information, along with some of the rational for the many threads she pulls together to weave the story. I admit to Hayley that I cried at the end of the film, and when I’ve re-watched it, my emotions are still so close to the surface. This is an important film to watch, both for the diagnosed and those around them. Hayley has crafted a story that pulls the viewer in and imparts an incredible amount of true-life information in 8 minutes. Thank you, Hayley for this valuable contribution to our community.

It’s early February and time again to welcome Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com back to the podcast to discuss some of the news and happenings she has brought us from the celiac and gluten free world. Ellen and I talk about a couple of studies, one to do with universal testing of children for celiac disease and the other is a very small study looking at managing the gluten free diet. We also chat about food blogs, and in particular one from Teresa of Gluten Free KOB, as a compliment to her online baking courses. Gluten Free Oreos have hit the market in Canada which prompts a lively discussion following much controversy over social media regarding package labelling. Recently, I received an email from a woman in England who produced a short film called “Glutened”. It is a must-see for everyone with celiac disease, and for those around them. I will be interviewing the producer for this podcast in the near future. Listen for the interview and you can watch the film at https://vimeo.com/486284734

This week I invited Mike and Cam from The Celiac Project Podcast: 2 Guys Talking Gluten Free to join me to tell their diagnosis stories and motivation for starting a podcast about celiac disease. The most noticeable difference from my podcast to theirs is that Mike and Cam are men, and in my case, most of my celiac friends are woman, so hearing their stories and perspective was very interesting. Mike started the podcast after producing the film “The Celiac Project”. You can find out more about the film on his website – https://www.celiacproject.com/

I’m joined again on the podcast by Selena Devries, a Registered Dietician specializing in gut issues, as well, she is also celiac. Selena has developed a comprehensive course for anyone with persistent gut issues after their celiac diagnosis. This course is very indepth and Selena will be working closely with course participants on an individual basis. The course begins in late January, but before that, a shorter course is available to anyone who might be interested, but not sure if it’s right for them.
You can find out more at Selena’s website at www.healthbean.ca

This episode is one of my rare solo episodes. I felt it was important to look back on 2020 and examine how the events of 2020 effected the topics covered and listenership of the podcast. None of us could have predicted how the corona virus pandemic would change everything in our lives, or how long the upheaval would go on for.
It was somewhat therapeutic for me to look back at all the topics covered and guests welcomed on the podcast. I am able to mention some of the important shows, along with some of my favourite conversations, as well as how the episodes rated among my listeners.

On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com who brings us up to date on what’s in the news regarding celiac disease and the gluten free diet. December is normally a quiet month when it comes to releasing new medical information from studies, and this December was no different. We speak about a study that considers reducing the requirement for a biopsy to diagnose celiac disease. Ellen also fills us in on the safety of the Pfizer Covid19 Vaccine. As well Ellen and I talk about some new resources available to celiacs, not only the newly diagnosed, but for those of us who have been following a gluten free diet for many years. During 2020 many gluten free businesses were faced with difficult decisions – continuing to struggle, or changing their business model. Each gluten free business/service is unique and Ellen and I talk about how some are meeting this challenge. You can find more information about our topics at –

I recently spoke with Dr. Jocelyn Silvester for Episode 149 of the podcast regarding the “Doggie Bag” Study which looked at the actual amounts of gluten that were contained in our seemingly gluten free diet. Dr. Silvester has gone on to look at some of the everyday ways we handle our food to identify, then quantify the risks of contamination from gluten containing ingredients. Her experiments included cooking gluten free pasta, sharing a knife with gluten foods, and using a toaster along with risks for children in the classroom. The results of her studies are surprising and somewhat concerning. The Canadian Celiac Association has looked at these findings and believes that more research needs to be done on this topic. No one is ready to change the recommendations for handling gluten free foods to avoid contamination with gluten, but these studies do give us pause to think. I was concerned about the interpretation of these results and decided to invite Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com onto the podcast to discuss how some of this information can relate to our day to day lives. Ellen was able to help me put the study findings into perspective.

It’s December and that means the arrival of the Holiday Survival Guide from the The Canadian Celiac Association. On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the CCA about the guide, including some special covid related content. It’s a year like no other, we will all have to be content with smaller gatherings, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make those times special with traditional baking and giving. Covid has taken a toll on a significant portion of our population, which we must remember and assist at this difficult time. One initiative of the CCA is a program to identify gluten free donations to foods banks, so they can be saved for those requiring gluten free. This year is very different, and the CCA has given us lots of ways to make it special. You can find the guide on the CCA website at www.celiac.ca.
Melissa also talked about a peer support desk that will be monitored during the month of December, and is prepared to answer questions to help those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity cope during the holidays. You can reach the support desk at (905) 507-6208 ext 224 or toll free at 1-800-363-7296 or by email at askthecca@celiac.ca.

On this episode we talk again about gluten free baking. Specifically, we look at flour blends. Almost everyone who has baked gluten free will agree that one flour – rice flour, almond flour, oat flour, none of them can stand alone and always need to be blended with another grain or starch to get the taste, texture and mouthfeel in the final ingredient. Cinde Little, who online is known as the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has developed a guide to the different flours and suggestions for combinations to make a wide variety of baked goods. I also talk with Saima from a new company called Breadables. Saima has worked hard to develop a flour blend for roti, which is an Indian flatbread. I know from some of my previous podcast guests, and my own investigation and trials, that roti made gluten free was an elusive thing. Saima has solved this problem and is making her mix available for sale, currently by mail, and soon from their website.

Ellen Bayens is back with us for her monthly roundup of news from theceliacscene.com. We chat about a new study released from the Mayo Clinic regarding giving children antibiotics under the age of two and if that puts them at a greater risk for other diseases and conditions as they get older – celiac disease figures into this study.
Some good news – a recent study finds those with celiac disease are not at greater risk of contracting Covid-19. This was very welcome news during this time of increasing cases.
Ellen and I were pretty much both on the same page when it came to discussing the adoption of a gluten free diet by those without diagnosed celiac disease and now there is a study to dig deeper into this.
We looked at some innovative gluten free products – of note – Gluten Free Oreo cookies, authentic rustic corn tortillas and emergency preparedness meals from two companies that offered gluten free options.
Ellen brought to my attention two gluten free businesses who have uniquely pivoted during this time of covid – KOB with an online Christmas recipe Book and Wild Poppy Marketplace.

It was a year and a half ago that I first heard about a new study, teased at a forum of high level business people and researchers put together by the Canadian Celiac Association. Two doctors hinted at tidbits of their findings when they looked at the actual amount of gluten in a gluten free diet. At that time, I spoke with Dr. Jocelyn Silvester, and she promised to speak again with me when the study had been properly submitted for publishing. This episode is that long awaited conversation.
Is there gluten in the gluten free diet? The answer is yes. But the research study, performed in Manitoba, was able to tell us so much more. The study is referred to as the “Doggie Bag Study”, but it has a lengthy proper name – Determination of Gluten Grams Ingested and Excreted By Adults eating Gluten-free.

On this episode I speak with a very enthusiastic researcher, Dr. Diana Mager, who is also a Registered Dietitian. Dr. Mager is working on a project developing a food guide for young people diagnosed with celiac disease. This resource would take into account the special requirements of growing children and youth on a gluten free diet. After working with families facing the diagnosis of a child, and requests from the celiac community, Dr. Mager has put together a team, and funding to develop the resources families need to cope in switching a child to a gluten free diet. As part of the process, Dr. Mager is asking for Canadian families with celiac children to fill in a survey to help them finalize their food guide.
You can access the survey at https://conquer-studies.weebly.com/

On this episode I have the great pleasure to speak with Yvonne Baransky who is a Senior Product Developer at M&M Food Markets. I was able to ask Yvonne about how the company decides on new gluten free offerings – seems she gets to do some taste testing! As well, we talk able the mission to provide “real food for real life”, which includes a great many gluten free options. Yvonne outlines the three-tiered approach to identifying a product as gluten free, and she is quite proud of the more than thirty products which carry the CCA gluten free certification. I was impressed at the variety of foods and can see how these options can make a real difference for anyone who wants to eat well and must eat gluten free. Thanks M&M Food Markets for taking the time and care to provide us with the great variety of real food to meet both our everyday as well as special occasion needs.

It’s the beginning of November and that means I can take time to catch up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I discuss a couple of recent scientific studies, one to do with the gut microbiome of celiac patients and another about the early introduction of gluten to infants. Ellen tells us about a new e-book from Teresa of Gluten Free KOB.
We continue talking about gluten free food as Ellen highlights the three-tier Gluten Free approach that M&M Foodmarket is taking to identify their gluten free offerings which include burgers, breaded foods and an extensive list of desserts.
More good news with gluten free comes from Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream as they announce 11 flavours of their ice creams are gluten free, as they continue to add the certification symbol to more and more flavours.
I also mentioned that there appears to be a lack of both white and brown rice flours available on the consumer market at this time. I understand covid disruptions are to blame and over time the supply chain will catch up with our needs.
Here’s a list of links to from Ellen.

On this episode we meet Steven who reached his diagnosis of celiac disease in a very roundabout way. After being diagnosed, his case was featured in a Reader’s Digest article. Steven tells us his story, along with how his diagnosis has affected his family. I found out about Steven’s story from his mother, who is a member of our local chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association. She shared the article with me, and I was thrilled to put a name and a voice to the story. Here’s a link to the article -

On this episode I endeavour to answer a few questions sent to me by a listener. I enlisted the help of Registered Dietitian Selena De Vries to get the right answers to these common questions and concerns. First, we tackle vitamin and mineral supplements – how to choose, what are we looking for on the label, what supplements do we on a gluten free diet need and how much do we need. Next we go beyond multi-vitamins to look at other supplements and what they offer to those of us on a gluten free diet. Lastly, we talk about being “glutened” and if there is anything we can take to ease the pain and other issues, which commonly last for days. Selena has an answer for everything. I encourage you to follow Selena online at –

This week I speak with Kerry Bennett of Care Bakery. Kerry has a fascinating story of how she found out she needed to eat gluten free, then became a chef, then specialized in developing recipes for gluten free breads and eventually opened a commercial bakery. Her bakery, Care Bakery specializes in providing top quality breads to restaurants and has also begun supplying stores, mostly in Alberta. Kerry very recently moved to Toronto in an effort to increase her market presence. Her success at the very large restaurant show in the early spring, gave her the leads and connections she needed to make the leap east. Kerry was featured in an article in Alberta’s Culinaire Magazine and here is the link -

If you go to the FAQ section on the website, you will see the underside of a bun with the leaf emblem to show the bread is from Care Bakery – something that will come in very handy as you begin to find Care Bakery bread in your local restaurants.

I’m talking again with Ellen Bayens of www.theceliacscene.com about studies and articles she has brought to us during the month of September. We talk about studies looking at nutritional deficiencies in the gluten free diet, IBS and Constipation in Children and how it relates to a diagnosis of celiac disease, and the development of a new test to confirm gluten sensitivity. Ellen and I also have a lively discussion about food sensitivity testing, what it actually tells a patient, how results can be easily mis-interpreted as well as an uproar from many healthcare professionals about allowing the tests at all. Our discussion centres around a CBC Marketplace episode featuring food sensitivity testing. Ellen also mentions that Teresa of KOB Gluten Free is offering a Fall Baking Package, as well as a special group of Thanksgiving recipes. All classes are virtual, on video and provide detailed instruction.

On this episode I speak with Giovanni Angelucci, founder of Queen Street Bakery, a recent addition to the world of gluten free breads. The breads are available across Canada in many of the major stores. Queen Street Bakery was started with a mission to make healthier, good tasting, moist breads. The nutritional labels tell a unique story of low fat, minimal sugar and lots of fibre. The ingredients show some thinking out of the box with charcoal, grape skin flour and chicory root. They even have a black bread and black pizza dough.
Giovanni was kind enough to send a sample box to one of the co-hosts of my Gluten Free Weigh In Podcast, Carla, who shared a review with us. Carla, who was inspired to use the breads in different ways, really enjoyed the different tastes, health benefits and fresh texture.

On this episode I have my monthly chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen publishes a variety of articles on celiac disease, gluten free foods and the gluten free lifestyle. At the beginning of every month, she sends out a newsletter calling attention to some of her content from the past month. That’s were we start our conversation. This week we talk about a change in labelling from the FDC (US) regarding fermented as well as distilled foods. We talk about a breakthrough in agriculture that is producing ultra low gluten barley called “kebari”. Developing the grain is a challenge, but the next challenge is to have the grain designated gluten free. We talk about Scientists in Saskatchewan who have examined wheat grown over more than 100 years to debunk the myth that it’s the “new” wheat that is causing more digestive problems linked to gluten. Ellen and I are joined on the podcast by Cinde Little, The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet to chat about her development of a one-on-one course to teach you all the practicalities of a gluten free lifestyle. Ellen brings us up to date on the latest Musings by Mia – a recurring article about living gluten free as a 20-something. Mia looks at eating gluten free at university and college. Ellen also mentions Mia’s recent article that includes a scone recipe, which I will be trying in the next few days. Ellen shares with us some exciting news about Portofino Bakery in Victoria. The bakery has been carefully baking gluten free along with their gluten products for a few years, but recently they decided to establish a dedicated gluten free facility. We look at how they had been making gluten safe products and what will change. Lastly, Ellen shares some comments from an article she posted on facebook which originally came from Celiac.com entitled – “22 Diseases or Conditions that Require Celiac Screening”. This is similar to the “Could It Be Celiac?” list of symptoms promoted by the CCA during Celiac Awareness Month in May. Ellen and I discuss hindsight as a diagnostic tool and how delays of diagnosis are almost inevitable when a condition like celiac has so many symptoms. Below are links to the articles from theceliacscene.com.

I am fortunate on this episode to speak with a member of the Professional Advisory Council of the Canadian Celiac Association. Dr. Dominica Gidrewicz spoke with me about two recent papers prepared by the PAC as their professional opinion and perspective on questions that often come up in the gluten free community. We talked about gluten which may be found in lotions and cosmetics, as well as gluten in medications. We cover, how much of a threat is this gluten, what precautions should we take, and what questions should we be asking. You can find the papers on the Canadian Celiac Association website at www.celiac.ca.

This week, I speak again to Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the Canadian Celiac Association about what’s going on at the national office. Melissa shares plans for the second installment of a national conference to be held virtually in November. We also talked about a familiar fundraiser going virtual, that may be a great way to get a local celiac community to participate from a distance. Currently McMaster University are finishing a study on covid19 and the celiac population in Canada – stayed tuned for more on that. Melissa was very pleased to tell me about the progress made on the workbook “Growing Up Celiac”, which has recently been translated into French. This book has been widely distributed to be given out to the families of newly diagnosed children. The CCA is keeping busy during this very abnormal year. You can find the CCA online at www.celiac.ca.

Public toilets is a subject I never thought I would be talking about on the blog. The Covid-19 pandemic changed many things in our lives, and the closing of most toilets which had been available to the public was something I found troubling. Lezlie Lowe has looked at the many issues surrounding our access to public toilets in her book “No Place To Go”. Lezlie recognizes that different people have different needs when it comes to the availability of toilets and the plight of those of us with celiac disease is not lost on her. Lezlie talks about the history of pubic toilets, why some municipalities are more in tune with our toilet needs and what can be done to encourage our leadership to make toilets more available in our communities.

This week I catch up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen prepares a newsletter for many of the articles she has recently posted, and we discuss some of these topics. Ellen and I chat about a new celiac testing protocol in the UK, decisions restaurants must make before going gluten free and a new book about one family’s gluten free journey. We also discuss some very informative posts from Selena De Vries RD on Instagram, as well as some recipes perfectly suited to summer.

On this episode of the podcast I speak a Mother and Son who have collaborated on a book about the impact of a celiac diagnosis on a family. Their book is called “Celiac Lost: A Family Guide to Finding a Gluten-Free Life”. In it they give plenty of tips about organizing meals, arranging a kitchen, shopping and situations with others. This is a book which is a practical resource for anyone newly diagnosed or struggling with the gluten free lifestyle. There’s also plenty here for those of us who have been on the diet for a long time. Shelly and Christopher Shiflett wrote the book they wish they had when Christopher was diagnosed in his early teens. It was Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com who put me in touch with the authors. I have included links for Ellen’s article, as well as the website, facebook page and Instagram account for the book.

This week I chat with a food truck owner who goes out of his way to offer gluten free to his customers. His stationary truck has a big sign at the street announcing Gluten Free Fries. They are also a peanut free facility, so I know they take food restrictions seriously. I’ve been stopping by on almost every trip between Kingston and Ottawa for years now. Each time I'm greeted with a smile, when I asked for gluten free. Robert Firlotte owns T’s Chips in Smiths Falls and he has some great insights into doing business to please both his gluten free and gluten customers. You can find T’s Chips online at –

This week’s episode is a comprehensive guide to reading alcohol labels. This may not be something you’ve thought much about, or maybe it’s something that has caused you much confusion. My guest, Registered Dietitian Selena Devries, breaks it all down for us.

It’s sometimes hard to admit you’re in a rut, but I am currently in a food rut, or to be more specific in a creative meal rut. Over these past few months of stay at home, I’ve been cooking the same old thing. It’s hard to get inspired when you’re only out at the grocery once a week. Cathy of cathysglutenfree.com is my guest on this episode of the podcast and is coming to my rescue. We discuss new options for breakfast, lunch and dinner along with a great idea for a watermelon drink! I’m challenging myself to add at least one new item to my menus each week from Cathy’s extensive website. I hope you feel inspired to do the same. You can find Cathy online at –

It’s the end of June and the beginning of July – time for Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to join me to discuss the current celiac and gluten free diet news. With the Corona Virus stay at home gradually easing off in Canada, new studies and findings regarding celiac disease are few and far between. As well, it’s not a good time for food companies to be introducing a new gluten free product into the marketplace. Ellen does however have a couple of timely articles which we discuss regarding recent changes in food service labelling regarding foods labelled for the US, and an article written by Mia Kennedy about getting back out into social groups for pot lucks, barbeques and picnics, from the point of view of a 20-something celiac.
Here are the links to the articles and the contest from Grimm’s –

James King was a past recipient of the James A. Campbell Memorial Research Award from the Canadian Celiac Association. His research involved a study of the many previous studies that have been done world-wide on the incidence of celiac disease. James discussed with me the method of his study along with some of the results. He mentioned an interactive map that is available online, so both the public and researchers can check on many of the studies used in their research. You can access the map, along with James’ presentation from the Canadian Celiac Association virtual conference in May at the following link -

Mia Kennedy is now a contributor to theceliacscene.com. Mia is a university student who was diagnosed with celiac disease in here early teens. Mia will be writing articles for theceliacscene.com talking about her experiences of being a teen, then young adult with celiac disease. I couldn’t resist digging deeper into her article with a series of questions. My daughter is a similar age to Mia, and is also in a relationship. I asked her to read Mia’s article and she was happy to share her thoughts and perspective with me as well. Here’s the link to Mia’s article for Ellen and The Celiac Scene.

On this episode I caught up with an old friend who had a gluten free bakery about 20 minutes out of town from my bakery, and we often chatted and supported each other. My bakery has been closed for a number of years now, and initially Rita closed hers as well. For quite some time, Rita has had a stall at our local farmer’s market here in Kingston on Sundays selling her baked goods. Over the stay at home Covid-19 times, the market has adapted in simple, but effective ways to allow Rita to continue to bake for her customers. I thought this was a good chance to talk to a respected commercial/home baker about baking bread. Seems everyone is dabbling in baking bread while they are off work. Gluten free bread is a completely different challenge. Rita and I talk about the different kinds of bread, some of the baking tips we have and give encouragement for those thinking about taking the plunge, to jump right in.

Once again this month, I have the pleasure of speaking with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss some of the information and articles she brought to our attention lately. She presented a few research studies looking at links between celiac disease and Type I Diabetes, Inflammatory Bowel Disease, as well as the role some environmental chemicals might play in the incidence of CD in children. We discuss the difficult daily decisions faced by asymptomatic celiacs, who don’t suffer stomach issues when they ingest gluten, and how that adds another level to the disease. The topic of food scarcity for those with allergies or on special diets is highlighted by a US article, and we discuss its relevance for us in Canada, as well as strategies Ellen and I use on our not so frequent grocery outings. As well, Ellen introduces us to Mia Kennedy who will be a twenty-something contributor to both theceliacscene.com and the podcast.

This week I interview someone I met on Instragram. I know that sounds a little suspect, but my guest is a celiac who is also a Holistic Nutritionist. She specializes in counselling celiacs who are having a difficult time feeling well on the gluten free diet. She approaches issues from the perspective of four pillars of wellness – nutrition, sleep, stress and mindset. We speak about each of these and how a well-rounded approach to wellness is often helpful to many with celiac for them to feel better again, or maybe for the first time.

May is Celiac Awareness Month and this year it has proven to be a unique time, for the Canadian Celiac Association to both celebrate and pivot to provide support, information and leadership to the celiac/gluten free community in Canada. I speak with Jaya Mootoo who is the National Manager of Philanthropy for the CCA. She brings me up to date on the wide variety of efforts by the CCA to meet the needs of our community at this difficult time. We talked about the online conference held earlier in the month, which is now available to be viewed on facebook. Here’s a link to the facebook video –

Baking Classes – this one is right in my wheelhouse. This week I chat with Teresa Anderson of Gluten Free KOB from Beaumont, Alberta. Teresa had previously taught some in person baking classes before stay-at-home orders. One the orders were given, she decided to take her classes virtual, online. I attended two classes and was thrilled to talk to her about this versatile resource for anyone wanting to learn to bake gluten free. You can find out more about the classes at www.glutenfreeKOB.com

On this episode we chat about new relaxed FDA regulations for restaurants labelling food, and a surprising study out of Sweden showing an increased risk of death from celiac disease.

On this episode I have a conversation with Samantha Maloney about economizing in the grocery store. As many of us are currently only shopping for food about once a week, which forces us to plan our grocery list more carefully. By shopping once a week, I know I often buy more than I need, because I’m afraid I won’t be back in a store for so many days. Samantha and I talk about different strategies for different areas of the grocery store, to make your dollar stretch further. You may find yourself changing your buying habits, and hopefully that is for the better.
Samantha mentioned some websites she refers to for recipes and they are –

During this time of social distancing, we can often find it difficult to cope with our emotions. We are feelings things we haven’t felt before. We may be anxious, we may feel insecure. My guest this week is Sherry Scheideman, a Registered Clinical Counsellor. Sherry is celiac and understands much of the stress and anxiety we can feel around food, meals, our routines and everything else that goes along with our current “normal”. Sherry walked me through some of the techniques she uses to help her patients identify their difficult emotions and how to meet them head on. Sherry is located in Victoria, and can work virtually with clients anywhere in Canada. You can find Sherry online at sherrycounsellor.com

This has been a year when plans of all kinds have had to change and adapt to our current social distancing practices. The Canadian Celiac Association had planned a conference for the beginning of June in Regina, and the plans of attendees were well underway before the stay-at-home orders were invoked. The CCA has taken the progressive step of mounting the conference virtually, meaning anyone who registers can participate from their own home via their computer, ipad or even a phone. Registration has a suggested cost of $20, but if you are not comfortably able to contribute, you can still register. Also, you don’t have to be a CCA member. You can find out more information and register at www.ccaconference.ca

We’ve been staying home for a few weeks now, and more and more, I’m drawn into the kitchen to bake. My focus of late has been muffins. This week, I speak with Cinde the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet, as she recently posted a collection of muffin recipes. Muffins are likely the easiest baking someone on a gluten free diet can make for themselves. Muffins are so versatile, and you can even get the kids involved. You can find Cinde, her blog and her recipes at https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca.

We talk about the problems and Jess suggests some things we can all do to help. Jess has a GoFundMe page at https://www.gofundme.com/f/gfreewifeyfoodbank

These are not the best of times, as many of us are staying in our homes and taking whatever measures are suggested to fight the spread of COVID-19. On this episode, I re-iterate the response of the CCA, as well as pass on some helpful tips from it’s President Treena Duncan. I also examine my habit of hand washing. It’s a shortened episode this week. I’ll be back with more next week. You can find more information and read the statement on the Canadian Celiac Association website at www.celiac.ca.

This week I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Melissa Ing D.M.D. Melissa is Canadian, now working as an educator of Dental Medicine in Boston. Recently, her focus has been on educating dental professionals about the relationship between celiac disease and oral health. Melissa’s research of late has involved the materials and substances used in dental procedures and how suitable they are for someone on a strict gluten free diet.
Melissa, would like all dental professionals to have the knowledge about the oral signs of celiac disease, so they can refer patients for CD testing, even before it may come to the attention of their GP. Melissa has participated in educational videos, online webinars and sponsored presentations to raise awareness of CD among dental professionals.

This week I chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for a roundup of news and views to begin January 2020. We talk about the current and upcoming food trends in the gluten free marketplace, as well as a recently published study on the connection between celiac disease and psoriasis. We cover the subject of body image from a male perspective and identify that females often find the diagnosis and GF diet isolating. Bard’s Beer is different because of the malting process, which in this case is gluten free, and the My Healthy Gut App is offering a 7-day free trial.

This week is another solo episode where I reflect on the top six things I’ve learned from my two years of producing the podcast. I briefly look at my motivation for starting the podcast and I try and sum up many of the positive and sometimes challenging experiences I’ve had. Celiac disease and the gluten free diet can be complex and effect different people in different ways. I’ve tried to understand this over my two years, and I’ve been able to identify some things that were truly new to me.

This week I go solo with a show that takes a deep dive into Christmas baking. When I operated a gluten free bakery, this was our busiest time of the year. We had procedures in place to make a large amount of a variety of foods. Once the bakery closed and I went on to produce two seasons of my gluten free baking show on our local cable channel, I first had to shrink the recipes down to home kitchen size. You can find the recipes on my website at www.suesglutenfreebaking.com. Most of the recipes are in shows 5 https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/christmas-5 and 6 https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/christmas-6, which all have youtube video links to the show segments.
I talk about kitchen tips to get and stay organized as well as recipes for cakes, cookies, squares and breads. I also add in a favourite Christmas morning recipe.
Stuffed French Toast
8-10 sturdy slices of gluten free bread, cubed
1 ½ - 2 8 oz pkgs of cream cheese, cubed
Beat together –
12 eggs, 2 cups milk & 1/3 cup of maple syrup
Place ½ of the bread cubes in an ungreased 9” x 13” baking pan, add the cubes of cream cheese, then top with the remaining bread. Pour the liquid over the bread mixture, cover and refrigerate over night. In the morning, bake at 375°for 45 minutes. You can also add cinnamon nutmeg or raisins to the mix.
This recipe was always a hit in our home on Christmas morning. If you have questions regarding your Christmas baking, I’ll do my best to answer. You can email me at acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com.

I like pretty pictures of food and have noticed the trend to “food bowls”. They are usually presented very artistically, and have caught my interest. On this episode I speak with Cinde, The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet about what a food bowl is, and how does the trend work with our gluten free diets.
You can find Cinde’s blog at https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca

Facebook – Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet
Here are a few bowl ideas Cinde along to get your creative juices flowing:
Middle Eastern Inspired Bowl – Start with cooked rice and lentils, add roasted onion, zucchini and/or eggplant. Top with raw tomato and red peppers, maybe some feta cheese and this recipe for Falafel Balls with Tahini Sauce. Thin the tahini sauce with water if desired and drizzle over the bowl. Enjoy!
https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/falafel-balls-tahini-sauce/
Vietnamese Rice Noodle Bowl – This one starts with rice vermicelli, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, fresh herbs and chopped peanuts. The recipe includes a lemongrass marinade that can be used on chicken, shrimp or pork. At the table pour the Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce over your bowl and enjoy.
https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/gluten-free-vietnamese-rice-noodle-bowl/
Greek Inspired Bowl – Try this one with cooked brown rice or quinoa. Make a composed version of this Greek Summer Salad then complete the bowl with fresh spinach, and maybe some roasted carrots, butternut squash or eggplant. The vinaigrette dressing from the salad can be served on the side so it flavours the rice too.
https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/gluten-free-greek-summer-salad/
For a weekend treat or brunch with friends try this indulgent Breakfast Power Bowl – It has cooked quinoa with bacon, sweet potatoes, raw spinach, avocado and cherry tomatoes all drizzled with a blender hollandaise.

I like a good story, and this week we have one – A Mom, looking for a way to enhance her autistic son’s development tried him on a gluten free diet. Not only did she notice a positive difference for her son, but it led her to start a gluten free food company. Autistic children often have very specific taste and mouth-feel preferences in foods. Keri’s son loved perogies, but on a gluten free diet, they were almost impossible to find. After much trial and error, Keri developed a recipe and method for making gluten free perogies commercially. The company, located in Lacombe, Alberta – Stella’s Perogies now produces 15,000 perogies a day! You can find out more at www.stellasperogies.com

I have recently returned from a very enjoyable cruise with extended family members. Cruising with celiac disease is often approached cautiously, but with the right preparation, can be safe, relaxing and exciting. This week I chat with Nick Medeiros, a fellow celiac and travel agent from California who has set up a Facebook page “Cruising with Celiac”. This group fields questions and actively discusses different cruise ships and cruise lines and their suitability for someone on a strict gluten free diet. Nick and I discuss many of the dining options on different ships, what you should know, before you book and what questions you should ask. You can find the Facebook group at –

Ketchup made without garlic, isn’t something that occurs to me, but I can appreciate that if garlic causes you stomach issues, this could be very special.
Steven had been an owner of Glutino Foods, before starting Fody Foods. He is strongly rooted in gluten free and brings that wealth of knowledge to his FODMAP friendly foods. You can find out more about this unique food company at www.fodyfoods.com.

I speak this week with Kate Scarlata RDN, MPH, FODMAP & IBS expert about the FODMAP diet. We explore what the diet is, and how it relates to both celiac disease, gluten intolerance and IBS. The diet aims to resolve lingering digestive issues not completely solved by the gluten free diet. It goes without saying that if you’re celiac or gluten intolerant, you must avoid gluten, but for you individually are there other foods that may be causing discomfort and should be avoided?
We look at the origins of the diet, and how it has helped many people to identify specific food issues. Kate has authored many books, but her recent book “The Low-FODMAP Diet Step-by-Step” is a comprehensive resource for using the diet to resolve some ongoing digestive issues.

This week have the immense pleasure of speakers to campers who attended two celiac kids’ camps, one in Kelowna BC and the other the Rod McDaniel Celiac Kids Camp outside of Calgary. The kids were very animated about their camp experience and got very excited when we chatted about food and the friendships they have made. My thanks to Selena DeVries RD, who organized the Kelowna Camp and you find her website at www.healthbean.ca, as well Cheryl Richmond, who organized the Calgary camp and Cinde Little who helped with the camp, and setting up the interviews with the campers.
I have links to a couple of the recipes from Selena and the BC Camp for you.

This week I have a very personal conversation with Erin, a gluten free blogger about her struggles with mental illness. We often talk about the roller coaster of emotions after a diagnosis and starting a gluten free diet, but Erin’s experiences became more life-altering. Anxiety and Depression became a way of life, with celiac disease and the gluten free diet always playing a part. Erin gives some great coping advice that we can all use, regardless of how much we are swayed by our emotions and state of being. You can find Erin online at glitzandgf.com, on Instagram at glitzandgf and on Facebook at Glitz & Gluten Free

This week I set out to get some answers about plant based burgers. They seem to be everywhere, but I didn’t know anything about them. I called on Registered Dietitian Selena DeVries for help. Selena has been on past podcast episodes, and she does a great job breaking down the nutrition and ingredients in the new plant based burgers. I took it upon myself to try one on the barbeque at home, to get my reaction as well as those of my husband and daughter. Listen after the interview with Selena to hear my opinion about cooking up one of these burgers at home and trying it for the first time.
You can find Selena online at www.healthbean.ca or email her at selena@healthbean.ca.

This week is all about summer eating. I chat with Cinde Little of The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet about what makes summer eating different from other times of the year. Cinde has lots of great time-saving and tasty ideas to spruce up our barbeque meals, as well as the new trends in salads. We talk about some of the ingredients in marinades that may contain gluten, as well as some products that might make grilling a safe gluten free meal easier.

The State of Celiac Event held by the Canadian Celiac Association in May was a valuable opportunity for researchers, food producers, physicians and dieticians to present their work to each other, network, and advance the interests of those with celiac disease. I am pleased to be speaking with one of the presenters on this episode – Dr. Daniel Leffler of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Medical Director leading up the Celiac Disease Program at Takeda Pharmaceuticals.
Dr. Leffler spoke with me about the different streams of current research. We talked about the practicality of the different treatments and cures being investigated, as well as the impact on quality of life for celiac patients. Our discussion highlighted the diverse approaches being taken to find a cure, as well as comparing celiac with other conditions, and what makes this a particularly challenging disease to overcome.
I was left with a real sense of hope that doctors and researchers are pursuing different strategies to find a cure, and improve our quality of life. The gluten free diet is an imperfect treatment, and it’s comforting to realize that the medical/research community is looking beyond the gluten free diet for a cure.

On this episode of the podcast I speak with the Event Planning & Coordinator for the Calgary Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association, Cheryl Richmond. The Calgary Chapter has been holding a gluten free breakfast as part of Calgary Stampede celebrations for more than 20 years. The breakfast has grown and so have their community sponsors and relationships. This year they served up 564 breakfasts of pancakes and sausage. Their primary sponsors were, Kinnikinnick Foods (pancake mix), Spolumbo’s Fine Foods & Deli (sausages), Judy G Foods (promotional pizza coupons) and Shine FM providing a Kid’s Fun Zone. With more than 150 breakfasts going on in the city during the Stampede, it takes many months working with the Stampede Committee to get all the details just right. The Calgary Stampede Promotions Committee was able to help out by providing – The Batter Boys with a Cook Wagon, Western Welcome & Branding, a Roper (to lasso customers!) and Harry the Horse. Sounds like great food and good fun!

On Episode 76 of the podcast, I spoke with Kristen Kneff from ImmunsanT about the presentation she gave at The State of Celiac event held in May by the Canadian Celiac Association. Kristen’s presentation, and our subsequent interview looked at the Phase 2 trial for Nexvax2, a vaccine to minimize the effects of gluten on those with celiac disease. Recently, the trial was halted, as the vaccine was not performing as expected.
Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com brought this to my attention in an article looking at both the press release from ImmunsanT and a position piece from Dr. Peter Green. On this episode of the podcast, Ellen and I speak about what this news means for the research community as well as the impact on the celiac community.

On this episode I have a fun discussion with Jessica Danford, known online as GFreeWifey. I have spoken to Jess before about her efforts to assist foodbanks to supply gluten free food. You can find that topic in Episode 48 of the podcast. Jess has taken on a new project to produce a community cookbook and sell it to help raise funds for her efforts with foodbanks to provide safe food for all. You can find Jess online at GFreeWifey.com, where you can find a link for the book. Otherwise you can order the book either in hard copy, or digitally at Blurb.ca by typing in Jess Danford in the search at the top right of the homepage. Thanks Jess for allowing me to contribute to the cookbook and I will now get working on providing the nutritional information for the recipes which she will share on the facebook page for the cookbook.

This episode is a compilation of short interviews from my time at the Gluten Free Garage in Toronto in May. I attended last year, and this year The Canadian Celiac Association was supporting the event. I met up with some individuals I had interviewed for previous podcasts, as well, I asked the attendees to answer some questions for me. I have edited the recordings so you can hear the different answers collectively.

This week I speak with Samantha who is of Polish Heritage. She is Canadian of Polish decent and has spent some time living in Poland. We chat about traditional Polish foods and how they fit or don’t fit into a gluten free diet. We also talk about family celebrations and how relatives in Poland would view her special diet.
Here’s the recipe she sent for her Lemon Poppyseed Cake –
Lemon Poppyseed Cake
1/3 cup poppyseeds
3/4 cup milk
1/2 cup butter
1 tbs lemon zest (or 1 tbs lemon oil/extract)
3/4 cup sugar
3 eggs
2 cup gluten-free flour blend
1 tsp guar gum
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup lemon juice
Preheat the over to 325F. Place the poppyseeds and milk together in a bowl and set aside.
Beat the sugar and butter together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Mix in the lemon zest or oil. In another bowl combine the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter alternating with the milk and juice (mix milk and juice together first), making three dry additions and two wet. Stir the mixture well after each addition.
Pour batter into a bundt pan and bake for 30-40 mins, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from pan.
If you'd like, whisk warm water, lemon juice and icing sugar together for a glaze to top the cake. Pour over the cake while it's still in the pan.
Orange zest and juice can replace the lemon if you aren't a lemon fan.
Dairy-free milk and butter can be used instead, but the cake will not brown.
You can bake this in an 8" round cake pan (50-60 mins), but I found it best in baked in a bundt pan (30-40 mins).

On this episode I chat with Mike Marshall, Chief Operating Officer at Only Oats. Most of us are familiar with the bright blue 1kg bags of oats - rolled, quick, steel cut and flour. Only Oats was a major sponsor of the State of Celiac events held by the Canadian Celiac Association in Toronto in May, Celiac Awareness Month. Mike tells us why Only Oats is no longer Avena Foods, what has changed in the company and what has stayed the same. He gives us a lesson on how Only Oats is using Purity Protocol to maintain a celiac safe product. Mike also tells us of new stores currently, and soon to be, stocking Only Oats. As well, he teases us with a few new products in the works using the trusted oat source. For more on my personal story with oats, check out my blog at www.acanadianceliacblog.com

It’s always exciting for me to be invited to an event like the Live the Smart Way Expo in Ottawa in May. I had interviewed Kathy Smart, the event’s organizer in Episode 55 of the podcast. Kathy is a popular speaker and talk show guest who can speak about living well and eating healthy on a gluten free diet. At the event, I asked attendees some questions about celiac disease and living with a gluten free diet, as well I spoke with three food producers that caught my interest and Kathy Smart herself. Kathy has a very large following in the Ottawa area, and many of the attendees came just to meet and listen to her. It was a very uplifting weekend, and I hope some of that comes across in the series of short interviews that make up this podcast.

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”.
The CCA hosted a conference on The State of Celiac bringing together researchers, doctors, dietitians, food producers, influencers and others who had a stake in the future of celiac disease and the gluten free diet. I was fortunate to attend this event and was able to have short interviews with some of the speakers and attendees. During this last week of Celiac Awareness Month, the podcast will consist of five interviews each highlighting one of the speakers and topics that I found of interest.
I work with the CCA all year, but it was a special privilege to be invited to their events in Toronto. It was a busy weekend, with The State of Celiac Leadership Forum, the fundraiser for research, administrative meetings and my appearance at the Gluten Free Garage to meet with lots of other celiacs and those on a gluten free diet. It takes a great deal of effort to put on these events and it also takes a great deal of foresight to see how all this work will benefit the CCA in it’s planning for the future. On this final episode for Celiac Awareness Month, I speak with Mark Johnson, who was instrumental in planning the forum and fundraiser, as well as Treena Duncan, President of the CCA for her views on how these meetings will contribute to the CCA going forward.

We are all looking for a better treatment for Celiac Disease. The gluten free diet is effective, but as we’ve seen it’s not a completely gluten free diet because of test restrictions etc., and it is difficult. The research panel at the State of Celiac event had a presentation on a new treatment for celiac that is currently in clinical trials. The more I learned, the more interested I became. My conversation on this episode is with that panelist, Kristen Neff of ImmunsanT and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to ask her more about their research and a potential therapy.

Jerry has seen numerous changes in the gluten free food industry during his many years in the business. We chat about the changes that Jerry sees happening now and the trends he has identified that we, as gluten free consumers should be aware of. As informed consumers, there is action we can take to keep our favourite foods on store shelves.

This episode is a discussion with Dr. Jocelyn Silvester, MD, PhD Attending Physician, Division of Gastroenterology & Nutrition, Department of Pediatrics at Boston Children’s Hospital. Dr. Silvester speaks with me about her work in research with celiac patients. She is also featured on podcasts on the app Gluten-Free Guide produced with the Celiac Disease Program at Children’s National Health System. This app is free to download on a smartphone and along with the podcasts is a great resource on celiac disease and the gluten free diet, particularly geared to children.

This episode is a discussion with Registered Dietitian Esther Assor who works with the Endocrinology Program at the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto.
Esther and I discuss the prevalence of celiac disease in children with Type I diabetes, how it effects those individuals and what makes them both the same as, and different from other celiac patients.

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”. This episode is a discussion with Dr. Moshin Rashid, MD, Med, FRCP (C), Professor of Paediatrics Gastroenterology & Nutrition at Dalhousie University and after many years on the Professional Advisory Committee of the CCA is now serving on the Education Committee of the CCA.
Dr. Rashid gives us a comprehensive overview of many of the non-gut-related symptoms that patients present with prior to a diagnosis of celiac disease. We also have a discussion regarding other conditions associated with celiac disease. Both the symptom and associated conditions lists are long, giving way to the current length of time for diagnosis.

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”, a look at the less common symptoms leading to a diagnosis of celiac disease. This week I speak with Dr. David Stevenson, President of the Ontario Dental Association.
We discuss some abnormal dental issues that may be a direct cause of undetected celiac disease. We also chat about how a diagnosis can change the way your dental professional structures your care. Surprisingly, we also highlight the importance of sharing a full medical history with your dentist, even though you don’t think it has anything to do with your teeth.
The CCA has an informative document on the link between dental health and screening for celiac disease. You can find that at

I was intrigued to speak with Dr. Herbert Brill of William Osler Health System regarding the study he did with other health care professionals on the efficacy of the DGP blood test with children referred for further consultation in screening for celiac disease. The study focussed on children with a negative TTG test and a positive DGP test. The study concluded the test was not useful in screening children for celiac disease in the general population. You can find an article about the study on the William Osler Health System website or at the following link –

This study was brought to my attention by a post from Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene. You can subscribe to her newsletter at www.theceliacscene.com. Thanks Ellen!

Have you ever been excited or anxious to fly, but then realized you still had to worry about what you’d be able to eat while waiting to board, or worse still what would happen if the flight was delayed and you're stuck beyond the security line with nothing to eat? My guest this week, Lisa, has taken it upon herself to write to Customer Service at the Vancouver Airport to request more gluten free options. We chat about her motivation, how the airport responded to her and a great example of how one airport is stepping up for gluten free food. Lisa originally posted her letter to the airport on her facebook page and has since re-posted it. You can find her on facebook @GFKetogirl.
Here’s the link to the Pearson Airport in Toronto webpage I spoke about - https://torontopearson.com/foodanddrink/#utm_source=social&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=retail2018

This episode is a follow-up interview with Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene on our favourite foods. Episode 45 looked at many of our favourite foods, but in retrospect, most of the foods mentioned weren’t particularly healthy. We thought it would be best to level out the options with a chat on our favourite healthy gluten free foods. Ellen sent me the links to the recipes she chatted about, all are gluten free and some also fit into a low carb high protein diet –

Here’s the recipe for the low-calorie gluten free english muffins I spoke about –
¼ cup oat flour (make sure it’s labelled as gluten free)
½ tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt
Blend together and add –
1 egg
2 Tbsp unsweetened applesauce OR plain Greek yogurt
Stir till well blended. Spray or grease a cereal bowl or ramekin and spoon half of the mixture in, cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high for 1 ½ - 2 minutes. Makes 2 muffins.

This episode looks at how, in Canada, a celiac can make a claim on their taxes for the extra expense of gluten free food. The subject sounds simple enough, but as we find out, the Canada Revenue Agency has made the process laborious with very little positive effect on your tax return. For a professional perspective, I speak with my daughter, Deanna, who is an accountant and has worked with taxes for years.

This episode is a look at the new Canada’s Food Guide with Registered Dietitian Selena De Vries. The new food guide is a dramatic change from the recommendations we have known for years. We have always been told to eat so many servings from different food groups. The new guide takes a different approach and Selena does a great job breaking that down for us.
Selena was a past guest on Episode 14 of the podcast discussing the challenges of losing weight and maintaining a healthy weight on a strict gluten free diet.

The podcast is celebrating one year of episodes!! Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the Canadian Celiac Association was the first guest on the first episode and since the CCA has so much on the go, I thought I’d check back with Melissa one year on.
Melissa mentioned the campaign to fund peer counselling services at the CCA offices for people who call in needing assistance. A funding page has been set up, so supporters of the CCA can become Peer Support Champions. It may or may not be difficult to remember back to realizing you needed to eat gluten free, but we all remember how tricky it was. You can become a Peer Support Champion with a single donation, or with monthly support. Go to http://bit.ly/CCAPeerSupportChampion. Otherwise you can find more information under the donate button on the CCA website at www.celiac.ca.

This week I spoke with Jessica Danford whose online presence as GFREEWIFEY is well known, at least amongst those from the Toronto area. Over this past year, she has begun a program to donate gluten free food to public food banks. This may sound simple, but it involves education of both management and volunteers at each food bank as well as mounting campaigns to have safe gluten free food donated to the food banks willing to handle it.
To this end, Jess has set up a GoFundMe page for donations at www.gofundme.com/gfreewifeyfoodbank
She can be found online at www.gfreewifey.com

This week was a bit different – I spoke about a video I felt compelled to make about the 5 Things Everyone Should Know About the Gluten Free Diet. Here’s the link –
http://bit.ly/5ThingsAboutGlutenFree
I was quizzed so many times while I had the bakery about the diet and questions surrounding those on it, I felt that maybe a video might answer those top 5 questions as follows:
Who needs to eat a gluten free diet?
How much gluten is too much? – A tiny bit of gluten makes a huge difference.
What happens when someone who shouldn’t eat gluten eats some?
How can anyone be sure they’re eating gluten free?
How can I prepare a meal for someone eating gluten free?
If you want to read my thoughts on making the video and choosing how to illustrate each question, check out my blog at www.acanadianceliacblog.com

The Canadian Celiac Association funds research into celiac disease through the Dr. J.A. Campbell Research Fund. This week I speak to Melissa Secord about the process of awarding grants as well as speaking with one recent recipient. James King is working on research to look at the many studies that have been done worldwide on the prevalence of celiac disease. His work will amalgamate the data to look at the diagnosis of celiac disease worldwide and what can be learned from the results. Further, James is studying a large group of celiacs in Alberta to identify the impact of diagnosis on the healthcare system both currently and in the future.

My daughter, Deanna was diagnosed with Celiac disease just before her fifth birthday. She is now in her mid-twenties and seemingly well adjusted to the gluten free lifestyle. My interview is an attempt to look at growing up gluten free as a retrospective on how she viewed her life differently because of celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Portions of her story appeared in cookbooks by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt who appeared on Episode 8. I quickly pulled two of the cookbooks and found Deanna on Page 14 of “125 Gluten-Free Recipes” and on page 66 of “The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook”. Donna and Heather’s cookbooks are published by Robert Rose and are available where most books are purchased.

This episode is a more like a tech review. I look at three different apps that can be used to make our gluten free lives easier. I review “Find Me Gluten Free” that allows you to find restaurants that have gluten free options on their menus. You can also read reviews from other app users have been to each restaurant. The second app I looked at was “Gluten Free Food Finder”. This app lets you use your phone camera to scan the bar codes on different food items to see if they are gluten free or not. It takes a bit of practice to use the app, but I found it very quick and helpful. The information regarding the products is input by other app users, so when I found a product not in the database, I added it. It was simple.
The third app looked at the restaurants at Disney parks and properties. This is a very useful tool for planning any trip to Disney, especially if you have a child eating gluten free. There are lots of reviews as they relate to the presented menus and many tips from past guests. The difference with this app is that only the gluten free options are presented, you don’t have to sift through the entire menu. My daughter used this app and said – “An amazing app for a trip to Disney, so you can plan ahead and enjoy your day just as much as anyone else. Easy to use, and constantly being updated.”

I had the pleasure of interviewing Treena Duncan, the incoming President of the Canadian Celiac Association. Treena has some great ideas on how the CCA can look forward with new initiatives to benefit both members and the public. It also seemed the appropriate time to extend an invitation to the different chapters to catch us up on what they have been doing for their members and in their communities. Some chapters were happy to share about events and others had inventive projects and fundraisers. For more information go to:

Who knew that more than a dozen years after sitting with Kim Koeller at the banquet of a Canadian Celiac Conference, we’d be talking on my podcast about her results of a survey of gluten free consumers formulated over ten years. It’s always interesting to me when someone is able to pull on their past experience and career and bring it to the gluten free arena. Kim was a management consultant to whom taking the pulse of consumers was a vital indicator of how interested businesses should proceed. Thanks Kim for bringing your expertise our way.

On this Episode of the podcast, I spoke with Manny Sabares of Only Oats, a Canadian company that produces gluten free oats safe for celiacs. They use a strict purity protocol that tracks the farmers, the fields, the seeds, the truck transport and only lets the oat grains into the mill once they have been tested to less than 5ppm of gluten (20 ppm is the gluten free standard).
Only Oats is “rolling” out a new line of Organic Gluten Free Oats. Rolled Oats, Quick Oat Flakes and Steel Cut Oats that are both certified Gluten Free and Organic.
I’m a big fan of the brand, and asked them to donate oat product for an episode of my baking show about gluten free oats. I have had a great relationship with the company every since. I have worked with them on their customer experience, and will be creating recipes for their new website later this year. In the meantime, you can find the recipes from my oats show at https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/oatmeal.
You can access the website for Only Oats (it is set to be updated to include recipes later this summer) at www.myonlyoats.com. As well, you can find Only Oats on Facebook.

While I attended the National Conference of the Canadian Celiac Association on June 9th, 2018 in Ottawa, I asked the conference and vendor show attendees to answer some questions for me. The purpose was to gather random tips on living with Celiac Disease and the gluten free diet from those living it every day. During the podcast, one of the attendees mentioned her website www.allergiesandme.ca. I made reference to my website where I have lots of recipes from my baking show, including banana muffins and my feel-good cheese muffins. I mentioned a baking mix called Pamela’s Pancake and Baking Mix – here’s the website for recipes for this mix - http://www.pamelasproducts.com/product/pamelas-baking-pancake-mix/

This episode is an in-depth discussion with Registered Dietitian Amy Horrock about persistent gut issues after starting a gluten free diet. The GF diet, although like a magic pill for celiac disease often is not the complete answer. For many, the gut responds with partial remission, or other problems. Amy looks at what some of these problems might be, and what might be causing them. The big takeaway is that most of these issues can be cleared up with some diet modifications. Everyone is different, so the solutions must be made through consultation on an individual basis. For more information regarding Amy’s services, you can go to her website at www.clearfocusnutrition.ca She can also be found on facebook at Clear Focus Nutrition and on Instagram at gluten_free_dietitian

A camp where kids can be kids and still eat gluten free is very special in so many ways.

Preparing to talk about dining out, one name came to my mind. Ellen Bayens is best known for her blog The Celiac Scene on which she informs about gluten free food and restaurants in the Victoria BC area. The blog has a vast amount of information regarding restaurants, shops and even the services of professionals who specialize in gluten free and celiac disease. One portion of the blog is devoted to fast food restaurants throughout North America and their menus suitable for gluten free dining.

Eating gluten free and being overweight. It’s very common, but we seldom speak about it. We try so hard to make sure we are eating completely gluten free, that having to concern ourselves about counting calories or sugar or fat, just seems too much to ask. Most of us try to replace our gluten laden foods with gluten free ones, but what is that actually doing to our diet. Listen and as I have a conversation with Registered Dietician Selena De Vries. You can find Selena online at the following links:
