Ep 291 January 2024 Roundup
January is usually a month for new beginnings, which makes December a month to wrap up some projects and spend time with family. This podcast is my monthly opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss the articles she has presented to us over the past month. Admittedly, December is not very busy when it comes to new and exciting studies or opportunities. Nevertheless, Ellen and I find lots to chat about.

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

Ep 287 Gluten Free Cooking Tips with Cinde
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 –
In this post for Salad Rolls you can learn the difference between fish sauce, the essential ingredient for Thai and Vietnamese cooking, and the vinegar based salad roll dipping sauce you’re probably familiar with. You’ll also find a handful of other recipes that use this dipping sauce, I hope you’ll try some!
In this post, A Gluten Free Asian Pantry, I talk about many ingredients I use for cooking Asian dishes.
A recipe for gluten free Worcestershire Sauce.
In this post for White Sauce you’ll find links to all the recipes I make with the basic white sauce recipe. Some call for a different kinds of cheese to be added and some don’t but they’re all delicious.
More Everyday Meals on a Gluten Free Diet: In this post I talk about finding your cooking style, how to get more variety in your gluten free diet and more ideas for stress free everyday meals. You can also download my free e-book here.

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.

Ep 285 November 2023 Roundup
It’s the beginning of November and that means I get to chat with my friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month.
Ellen and I talk about a recent study that shows an increase in women’s reproductive issues in the celiac population compared to the general female population. We also look at a presentation from the University of Chicago about DH and I, for one learned, some new facts about DH and how it relates to celiac disease.
We chat about the inconvenience of asking questions in a restaurant and if this explains why some people takes risks and chances. Ellen also brought us a very interesting webinar from Europe regarding questions to do with the new forms of biodegradable tableware that we are seeing in takeout containers and from food trucks. Is it safe? How safe?

Ep 284 Come Cruising Totally Gluten Free
If you’ve listened to the podcast for a while, you’ll know that I enjoy cruising and I’ve had great success eating a wide variety of gluten free foods onboard. My cruises have been on the large ocean liners. This week I’m speaking to Dianna from Expedia Cruises. Dianna herself is celiac and she’s organizing this cruise for April 2025. Expedia has contracted with AMA Waterways to ensure that there will be no gluten anywhere onboard. Sounds like a bit of dream! Then we look at the cruise itself, on the Danube, beautiful. The cruise is priced to include excursions, wi-fi, drinks, pretty much everything you might want. There is urgency here as Dianna must sell the staterooms by the end of November. Expedia Cruises & AMA Waterways is a sponsor of Celiac Canada to benefit their educational and advocacy programs. Both Dianna and I will be joining the cruise! Open the link to find out more. As Dianna says – SEE YOU ONBOARD!

Ep 283 Celiac Myths Pt 1
Like you, I often look up resources online for information on celiac disease. Sometimes, I start to go down a rabbit hole that includes social media posts including videos (which can be more convincing than just words). After being involved with Celiac Canada for more than 25 years and relying on information from them, I’m in a pretty good position to decide whether information is correct and legitimate, or if it’s maybe wishful thinking, or just wrong. I thought it was a good time to bring many of these myths to the podcast. I enlisted Registered Dietician Cayleigh McAulay from Celiac Canada to help me go over myths that have attracted our attention. Cayleigh is often the person who answers queries or Celiac Canada, so I’m confident she’s heard it all.
The myths Cayleigh and I discuss for this episode are regarding Celiac Disease –
- Celiac disease is an allergy.
- Celiac disease is rare.
- Celiac disease is a childhood disease.
- Celiac disease can be outgrown / is curable.
- Celiac disease is easy to recognize.
- If you have the celiac genes, you must have celiac disease.
- Celiac disease only causes digestive issues.
Cayleigh and I will be following up in the next few weeks with Myths Part 2, covering mis-information around gluten and the gluten free diet.

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.
