Ep 282 Belly Magazine
When I was recently at Gluten Free Fest, I met a very interesting woman who is a nutritionist, she’s celiac, and she’s publishing a new magazine. If that isn’t enough Jennifer Heard has a unique and interesting diagnosis story, as well as a roundabout story of how she landed with Belly Magazine.
You can signup to read the magazine at mybellyhurts.ca. You can find out more about Jenn’s Nutritionist practice at https://www.naturaljenn.com/. You can contact Jenn if you’d like to discuss a contribution to the magazine at jenn@dietaryinstitute.com.

Ep 281 Robyn Bakes Gluten Free
I always find it interesting when I meet someone in person who I’ve (in my own mind) “met” online. For a long time now, I’ve found the Instagram feed from Robyn’s Gluten Free Baking Courses fun and full of amazing photos of her baking. I’ve been fortunate to meet Robyn at several events over the past few years. She always shows up in her 50’s housewife blue polka dot dress – easy to spot in a crowd. I suppose with my recording gear, I’m easy to spot too.
I’ve recorded short chats with Robyn at these events, but have been waiting for the right time to sit down with her to find out her story, why she concentrates on gluten free baking, and how she decided to sell her baking courses. One baker to another, we could have talked on and on. If you’ve been hesitant to try your hand at gluten free baking, now might be the best time. The coupon code Robyn gave us was ccpodcast which will get you 10% off any course (just apply the code at checkout).
Thanks Robyn!

Ep 280 October 2023 Roundup
It’s the beginning of October and my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen published an article about the delay in reading celiac diagnostic blood tests for children in Montreal. This was truly concerning. The family highlighted had introduced gluten back into their daughter’s diet as a gluten challenge prior to testing. When the tests were not processed and had to be disposed of to be re-done, the family was understandably angry. This situation, which is now being dealt with effected almost 3,000 blood tests for children. This gave Ellen and I lots to talk about.
On a different note, there is a shift evolving to have celiac disease in adults diagnosed from blood tests which show a multiple times above normal reading. This was begun a couple of years ago for children after a study showed it could reduce the number of children having to undergo a biopsy, but recently, it’s being shown that blood tests for adults with “extreme” results, can be used in a similar way. Hopefully this will lead to more simple protocols for diagnosis in the future.
Ellen brings us a question to, and answer from, an advice columnist when asked about a friend who seems obsessively talking about her gluten issues. Are we being boring? How should we deal with friends and family who find our conversations limited and very narrow? As well, what strategies should we use when a friend or family member seems to only talk about their health issues? Lots of food for thought here.
Here are links to the articles Ellen brought to us in September –

Ep 279 Event – Gluten Free Fest

Ep 278 Celiac Caucus
On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada. She fills me in on an amazing breakfast Celiac Canada hosted on Parliament Hill. Melissa chats with me and refers me to Roberta Kramchynsky, a volunteer with the CCA who has had experience advocating with members of Parliament. Both Roberta and Melissa explain to me that now a Celiac Caucus has been formed with members of Parliament from different parties. The Caucus will help Celiac Canada have its interests taken into account in upcoming legislation, as well as help put forward ideas that may help the celiac population. Tax reform and fortification of gluten free foods are just a couple of concerns that Celiac Canada is looking forward to bringing to the Caucus for consideration. You can stay up to date on all the current activities of Celiac Canada by signing up for their very informative newsletter at celiac.ca.

Ep 277 Gluten Free Fest
When I was at the 50th Anniversary of Celiac Canada in Kitchener Waterloo, Ontario earlier this year, I met Sara and Liz, the organizers of Gluten Free Fest, happening September 17th. I will be at the event in Kitchener Waterloo which features lots of different vendors and a food truck (boat?). Families are encouraged to attend. As well I’d love you to stop by and chat with me. I’ll be there with my recording equipment and truly enjoy chatting to listeners, and those who might not have found the podcast yet. Here’s the link for tickets and more information –

Ep 276 September 2023 Roundup
It’s the beginning of September and my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
On this episode Ellen and I speak about a few recent studies looking at the prevalence of autoimmune conditions, persistent villous atrophy, and how gluten actually triggers injury in the intestines. As well Ellen and I talk about an article aimed at physicians to help them support their celiac patients. We also discuss Meal Kits and how they might fit into your gluten free diet. Ellen has included a couple of links to some interesting recipes and I talk about my popular and easy and customizable granola recipe https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/oatmeal

Ep 275 August 2023 Roundup
It’s the beginning of August and my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to chat about the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.
I was happy to let Ellen step up on her soapbox to talk about how unsafe gluten free food is when it’s prepared within a gluten bakery. This seems to be happening more often lately, even though we recognize that the food certainly doesn’t meet our normal standards for gluten free. Consumers are driving this trend, so it would seem it’s something we can change.
We also spoke about the value of Registered Dieticians who specialize in celiac disease. The name Selena DeVries came up as someone who understands our struggles first-hand and is there to help.
Ellen mentioned a few of my recent podcasts including 5 Tips for Cruising Gluten Free, my conversation with Miski Brewing about their quinoa-based beer, and on my other podcast, my co-host Aaron’s struggles with EOE – a condition that is more common in the celiac community.

Ep 374 Five Lessons for Cruising Gluten Free
This podcast episode is a solo effort. I had mentioned to Ellen Bayens earlier in the spring that I wanted to take some time to gather my thoughts on what stategies I employed while on a recent cruise that helped make my meals wonderful and safe. I’ve broken my thoughts down to five lessons and add a couple of stories on situations that happened. I ate very well on my transatlantic cruise on the Celebrity Edge in April. It takes a bit of effort and many conversations, but I was very looked after.
Here’s a few photos –

Ep 273 July 2023 Roundup
It’s the beginning of July, so for me that means another opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss articles and topics of interest Ellen has presented to us over the past month. It’s been a busy couple of months for both Ellen and I. She welcomed a new granddaughter and my daughter got married – we’re both still on a bit of a high!
Ellen and I spoke about the return of Only Oats to Canadian stores. The return will be gradual, but lots of work is being done to have the safe oats available across Canada. Ellen also told us about two brands of artificial crab that were improperly labelled omitting wheat and egg, so they appeared to be gluten free, but were not. We spoke about how gluten free consumers might approach this situation.
Ellen has had a long relationship with the restaurant chain Noodlebox, but recently it has become apparent that they are no longer able to ensure meals can be made gluten free. We discuss how this happened, and how you might may still want to work with your local Noodlebox location.
