Let’s start the blog with the show notes for this Episode –
I’m catching up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for our monthly roundup of news about celiac disease and the gluten free diet. We cover topics including a study of the risk of triggering CD in children, testing issues with asymptomatic children and the ever-present issues of eating at restaurants. Other links we spoke about –
The Canadian Celiac Association is requesting you take part in a survey – here’s the link – “State of Celiac Disease in Canada”.

My Thoughts –
We all benefit from our communities, but it wasn’t until I put the puzzle pieces together by speaking with Derradji and Aaron that I realized many men with celiac disease are not connected to a community of support. It’s easy for me to decide what would benefit me in a support group, but men are a completely different situation.
I never gave the needs of men much thought. It’s not that I didn’t consider them, it’s just that I didn’t realize that they needed different things and resources than women did. I can’t help but think back to when our local support group got together (pre-covid). A couple of the men always attended with their wives, which I thought was just convenient, since I assumed their wives were cooking for them, but there may have been a different dynamic going on that completely escaped me.
I’m searching back into my memory for how the meetings were structured and who did most of the talking. I’m thinking that women took the lead and that’s who I unintentionally was planning the event for. Hmmm, how does one get out of their own head, in order to meet the needs of others?
The curse of knowledge – or going back to a point where you didn’t have the knowledge that you do now – seems to play a part. My learning about celiac and the gluten free diet has not only been from the perspective of a woman, it has been in a community of women, with resources made by women. Clearly, I can’t start again, but I can resolve to stop and think about the community I’m in and pivot to serve that community better.
