It’s the beginning of November 2025 and my opportunity to discuss news and information that has come out in the past month with Ellen Bayens of . Ellen keeps us up to date on what’s happening regarding celiac disease and gluten free. First, let me urge you to sign the petition Celiac Canada is putting forth to the federal government regarding the cost of gluten free food and how they can assist the celiac population. This is a re-issue of the petition from last year, as unfortunately it died when an election was called. Last time we received more than 26,000 signatures. Let’s try for...

Ep 341 Selena DeVries RD Catchup
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
Over this past summer I’ve been asked by different people if I know of a local dietician who is particularly knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. Unfortunately, I have to say I don’t, but there is a great solution for us with Selena DeVries RD, as she has an online practice, can be paid by many healthcare plans and she herself is celiac. In our conversation, Selena explains how to deal with ongoing symptoms even if you’ve been symptom free for a long time. She explains how lactose issues as well as thyroid issues can develop as we age – something that was news to me. Selena also talks...

Ep 340 September 2025 Roundup
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
It’s the beginning of September, so my chance to chat with Ellen Bayens of about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month. During August, Ellen visited the Kinnikinnick storefront in Edmonton and the pictures she took of the amazing baked goods would make any celiac’s mouth water. Ellen published a study about teens with celiac disease and the link with body image and potential mental health issues – this is a must read for parents of celiac children. There is good news in that the teens who strictly adhered to the gluten free diet were less likely...

Ep #339 Pt 2 What I Learned from My Road Trip
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
This second part of the wrap up conversation with Ellen focused more on the experiences I had in the varied restaurants where we ate on our trip. Breakfast was usually the same and eaten in the hotel room, lunch was on the road and dinner was normally after we’d checked in to our hotel – but those were the only constants. I enjoy different ethnic cuisines, and I treated myself often. Ellen and I spoke not only about fast food places which primarily made up our lunch choices, but franchise restaurants and why in both cases these can often be your best choices for a gluten free meal. If...

Ep 336 July 2025 Roundup
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
I’m back home from my road trip and am overdue talking to Ellen Bayens about things she has brought to our attention over the month of June on . Ellen was excited to tell us about an experimental test for celiac disease coming out of Australia. The test involves drawing blood and introducing a form of gluten to the blood to look for a specific reaction to show that the individual has celiac disease. Both Ellen and I described this as a “game-changer” with many practical uses for diagnosis within our community. Hopefully this test will eventually become a common diagnostic tool...
info_outlineIt’s the beginning of a new month and a new year, which makes it a great time to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. On this episode Ellen and I talk about some big picture issues including a study regarding public policies and quality of life for celiacs around the world.
Public Policies vs Quality of Life for Celiacs
We look at one county in the UK that is changing the way celiacs are able to buy and have assistance with the purchase of gluten free food – is this just an experiment in one area to see what might happen on a national scale?
Bah Humbug! UK Scrapping Revered Gluten-Free Food Prescription Subsidy for Celiacs!
The Low FODMAP diet is again a topic of discussion as many celiacs are using it to over time, identify what might be causing them digestive issues once they are established on the gluten free diet.
Low-FODMAP Diet | Hope for Celiacs with Ongoing Symptoms?
Ellen introduces us to a new study using MRI technology to measure the impact of the gluten free diet on celiacs and compares it to those eating a standard diet. The study looks at newly diagnosed celiacs and then again at the same group after one year on the diet. Some interesting conclusions that could only be seen with MRI technology.

We also spoke about my recent podcast with Caleigh McAulay RD from Celiac Canada regarding people who are not celiac, but are eating a gluten free diet – how does this affect us?
