Ep 250 How To Get More Fibre with Cinde
On a recent podcast I spoke with Ellen Bayens about the importance of fibre in a gluten free diet. This topic keeps coming up whenever I speak to someone who is knowledgeable about nutrition. The fact is that most people in general, are not getting close to their recommended intake of fibre. When we talk about those on a gluten free diet, it’s very evident that fibre plays a major role in overall gut health and more effort should be made to increase the fibre in our daily diet. This is where my guest comes in – Cinde, The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has lots of suggestions and recipes that can enhance your everyday menus to include more fibre. Cinde has set herself and the listeners three challenges to get more fibre, as well she’s given us lots of recipes and suggestions to do just that.
To find out more you can go to her link for recipes 33 High Fibre Gluten Free Recipes or browse her website everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca.

Ep 294 February 2024 Roundup
Its the beginning of February which means I get the chance to speak with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss some of the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month. This month is focussing on gut health and those confusing supplements we are seeing everywhere that suggest some of our digestive issues can be solved with a pill that will improve our gut microbiome and in turn our gut health. Ellen breaks down all of the hype and wording around the supplements as well as the studies that are often quoted by supplement providers.
We also talk about the changes that have been made to the upcoming (May 2025) Gluten Free River Cruise that now starts in Amsterdam. You can find out more by contacting Dianna directly at dmcintosh@expediacruises.com. I mention to Ellen some of the things that have been pleasant surprises for me while staying in Phoenix, Arizona, and we also talk about a new resource on Ellen’s re-vamped website.

Ep 293 Gluten Free Cruise Update
On podcast episode 284 I invited you to find out more about a European River Cruise that was being organized by Expedia Cruises, or more specifically, Dianna McIntosh from Ottawa. There was a very tight timeline to book, which made bringing everything together very difficult. Since that time, Dianna and Expedia Cruises have pivoted to a different provider, a slightly smaller ship, but with even more spaces suitable for the group. The new dates of the cruise are now May 3rd to May 10th, 2025. There are exciting other changes as well.
You can find out more by contacting Dianna directly at dmcintosh@expediacruises.com.

Dr. Mager has been on the podcast previously while she and her team were working hard to formulate a Food Guide for Celiac Children and was soliciting input from parents across the country.

The Gluten Free Food Guide is freely available for download to anyone who would like to access it via: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1CpMuC2kIU43T3MGAMnnrfsqgACUjOtC_/view
Dr. Diana Mager will be providing free education about the gluten free food guide in a webinar with Celiac Canada. You can find out more and sign up for the webinar at: https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/events/

Ep 290 Mental Health and Celiac Disease with Justine Dowd
I had a very interesting conversation with Justine Dowd, PhD, a Health Coach who is also celiac. She works with individuals who are struggling with gut health issues. These issues can make someone feel less like themselves and put one in a spiral of depression and anxiety. We are all familiar with the struggles of feeling safe on a gluten free diet, and depending on what else is going on in your world, and what support systems you have, these struggles can have a negative effect on your day-to-day life.
Justine Dowd is a Health Coach who keeps up to date on the latest science and studies surrounding the link between mental health and gut health and understands these very specific issues. You can find Justine online at www.justinedowd.ca/.
You can also go back and listen to my previous conversation with Justine on Podcast Episode 269 Infertility Struggles and Celiac Disease.

Ep 289 Gluten Free Kitchen Tips with Robyn
Preparing food gluten free is not easy. For those newly diagnosed, or someone cooking or baking for them, it’s a steep learning curve. I am often asked for advice on how to set up a gluten free kitchen to make food preparation and baking easier. On this episode I speak with Robyn of Robyn’s Gluten Free Baking Courses for advice and practical tips to set up your gluten free kitchen to make baking fun and hassle free. Both Robyn and I have been baking gluten free for years, and we’ve come up with some handy tips to take some of the stress out of so many flours and the different equipment you might need.
Here’s Robyn’s list of flours other information she sent me –
What I keep in large jars (used most often):
- Brown rice flour
- White rice flour
- Sorghum flour
- Gluten-free Oat flour
- Tapioca starch
- Potato starch
- Corn starch (though I just keep it in the large container from Costco!)
- Almond flour: I also always have almond flour on hand, but I also buy the large bag from Costco and keep it in the fridge.
Other flours I like to have. I usually keep them in smaller jars or buy them as I need them:
- Teff flour
- Millet flour
- Buckwheat flour
- Sweet rice flour (I mainly use it during the holidays)
I also keep a small to medium-sized jar of xanthan gum in my baking drawer.For those who might be overwhelmed with the number of ingredients listed here, my 6 must-have list for basic gluten-free baking are brown rice flour, white rice flour, almond flour, potato starch, tapioca starch, and cornstarch (as well as xanthan gum). These are all of the GF baking ingredients I use to make everything in my Essentials Course.
These are the jars I use for my everyday baking (what I consider to be “large jars”). If I buy even larger quantities of flour than what fits in the jars, I will keep them stored away and refill when necessary.
Here’s the link to order her very trendy aprons –
This is what my bread pans are like. They are normally used for a steam table in a restaurant, but they work amazingly well for bread in the oven. They are ¼, which means they are ¼ of a full steam table pan. They come in different depths, but I find the 4” one is best for gluten free bread. Here are similar ones found on Amazon.ca. – https://amzn.to/47KnVdl

Ep 288 December 2023 Roundup
It’s the beginning of December, so that means I get to chat with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. This month Ellen and I chat about the two podcasts I did with Caleigh McAulay of Celiac Canada about current myths surrounding both celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Ellen received lots of response when she posted about this topic. As well we talk about the recent national conference from Celiac Canada and some of the new things we learned. We discussed wheat starch, whether it’s a concern or not, and note some supporting information from Selena De Vries. I have a great Christmas gift idea from Robyn’s gluten free baking courses.
Dr. Diana Mager from the University of Alberta is putting out a call to parents of celiac children to fill in an online survey for their new study. The link, QR code and information are below.
To watch the presentations from the recent Celiac Canada Conference you can go to their YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/CanadianCeliacAssociation

On this episode of the podcast I speak with Cinde Little – The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. You can find her along with her recipe posts at everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca. Cinde and I talked about how to approach cooking gluten free meals. Cinde gives lots of tips, and they may be something you’ve already found out and started doing for yourself, but likely, you’ll learn something, as I always do when I speak with Cinde.
Here are Cinde’s notes on the recipes she mentioned during the podcast –

A recipe for gluten free Worcestershire Sauce.

Ep 286 Celiac Myths Pt 2
As a follow up to the podcast episode #283 Celiac Myths Part 1, I continue my conversation with Registered Dietician Cayleigh McAulay from Celiac Canada to debunk myths around the gluten free diet. We’ve all heard the “you can have just a little bit, what harm could it do” or “don’t worry when you travel to Europe, wheat is different there and it won’t cause you any symptoms”. Some myths we’d like to believe, or at least not question, but it’s important to stop mis-information in it’s tracks and find out what science tells us. Cayleigh also directs us to resources from Celiac Canada.
