Ep 308 August 2024 Roundup
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

Ep 306 July 2024 Roundup
It’s the beginning of July, so I have the pleasure of talking with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about interesting articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
We talk about a uniquely helpful Facebook group for celiac families –
https://www.facebook.com/groups/CeliacParents/. This group was started by Ellen and has been helping families for ten years. If yours is a celiac family, this would be a great resource to check out.
We also spoke about the Conquer Study and how families with celiac children can get involved. Here’s a link https://redcap.ualberta.ca/surveys/?s=4FF8WHPN7447XNFM
You might also want to find out more about the resource that is Selena DeVries RD @ celiac_dietitian on Instagram.

Ep 305 Celiac Mom Kelsea
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.

June 2024 Roundup
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/.

Ep 303 Celiac Chat with Avery
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.

May 2024 Roundup
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!

Ep 301 April 2024 Roundup
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.

Ep 300 More from the State of Celiac
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.
You can download the survey presentation booklet and view some of the highlights on Celiac Canada’s website at –
You can also watch The State of Celiac Disease in Canada presentation that was live on YouTube at – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I__T36eeNd8&ab_channel=CeliacCanada
Celiac Canada has an extensive library of videos and presentations on YouTube that answer many of the questions you might have about celiac disease and the gluten free diet – and don’t forget to subscribe to the channel while you’re there.

Ep 299 A Child’s Diagnosis
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.
