Ep 225 June 2022 Roundup
Let’s start the blog with the show notes for this Episode –
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.

My Thoughts –
I get lots of emails, with having a few websites, and running an online store, I hear from a wide variety of people, many of whom want to sell me something. I think most of us are very used to the unsolicited emails that find their way into our inboxes on a regular basis. When I received Tamara’s email, I remember I was quite rushed with something and only skimmed over it. It wasn’t till the next day that I gave it a good read. She included links to current labelling information and was very thorough in her question of some information I gave on a recent podcast.
I love feedback. Whether it’s a quick note to say you liked a particular episode, or maybe your story was similar, maybe you have a suggestion for an upcoming episode, or maybe, like Tamara, you want to call me out for something, I love receiving your thoughts. So often I speak to experts on some aspect of celiac disease or the gluten free diet. I purposely have a conversation at my level of understanding when I’m speaking with doctors or dietitians, and hopefully, that level suits my listeners as well. What I often enjoy most are the conversations I have with everyday celiacs, or those who are struggling with some aspect of the gluten free lifestyle.
I rarely get an email like the one from Tamara, but we all know we aren’t right about everything all the time. I think what I like most is the fact that one of my listeners felt comfortable enough to question something I said – the way you might question a friend who said something that made you pause and think. I’m glad I made you pause and think Tamara, and I’m glad you made me pause and re-think. Thanks for that! If you have feedback for me, please email me at acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com.
