Ep 141 October 2020 Roundup
Let’s start the blog with the show notes for this Episode –
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.

My Thoughts –
It’s been just over a year now since I started my monthly chats with Ellen Bayens. Every month as I plan my weekly podcasts, I look forward to talking with Ellen. We always have a lively discussion. I learn things I hadn’t known or thought about before and Ellen introduces me to some very interesting people.
When I record my interviews, I usually use a “zoom meeting” connection. Zoom meetings have become very popular as so many have been working from home since the spring. I use zoom meetings to connect with family in other countries, as well as to share dinner with far off friends. Zoom works well for my podcast recordings because I can get a recording of me, one of the person I am interviewing and one of us talking together. That way I can play around with my audio tools to edit our conversation into something that hopefully is interesting and flows well.
In an effort to get the best audio quality, and in consideration of the different technical requirements of my guests, I usually don’t use video and just record the audio. The main exception to this is when I talk with Ellen. I don’t consider our discussion an interview and I’m pleased that Ellen has embraced the technology. When we talk, I’m usually looking up articles, which takes over my screen, but Ellen is intently watching me to know when to break in. She had learned to anticipate my facial expressions, and even some of my thoughts. You may notice it’s more common on recent episodes that we talk over each other, something I try and avoid or edit out in other podcast episodes, but something that is natural in my conversations with Ellen.
My aim in starting this series with Ellen was to allow an audience in on our chit chat. Ellen supplies the subjects and we both supply our opinions. It’s been a learning experience for Ellen and a fun experience for me. I hope you enjoy listening to these episodes as much as Ellen and I enjoy bringing them to you.
