Ep 87 Celiac News Roundup for August with Ellen
Let’s start the blog with the show notes for this Episode –
It’s now the beginning of August, and I’m thrilled to be introducing a new recurring episode to the podcast. The first episode of every month with be an informative discussion with Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene. Ellen searches the internet (and everywhere else) to find informative articles and studies about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. She summarizes them and passes them on to us on her website, on facebook and also in her newsletter.
This week we chatted about –
The new Gluten Challenge Guidelines from the CCA,
Working towards a Diagnosis without a Biopsy,
A Study about the amount of gluten to feed small children,
Restaurants charging you for bringing food, and gluten free haircuts.

My Thoughts –
I’m very excited to share the first in my series of discussions with Ellen about the articles and studies she has found on celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Both Ellen and I have taken it upon ourselves to continue to learn about our condition. In doing so, we meet lots of people and are often asked for our advice.
The advice we give to a specific situation might be similar, but our experiences with it are different. Everyone with celiac disease has to find their own ways to cope and what works for me might not work for you and vice versa.
What I find interesting when I speak with Ellen is that she’s been giving advice and interacting with other celiacs for about as long as I have. Between us, we’ve counselled hundreds of people on an individual basis, we’ve spoken to groups, we’ve organized events and we’ve been the go-to person for “expert” advice. I hesitate to use the word expert, as neither Ellen nor I have any scientific training on the subject, but we’ve learned as we gone, walked the walk and taught others to do the same.
The intent of these monthly podcast roundups with Ellen is to put our heads and our experiences together to interpret and add our comments to the very informative studies and features she brings to our attention. I hope you enjoy listening, as much as I enjoy recording them. Chatting with a friend on an interesting subject for a purpose – I’ll leave it at that!
