Ep 356 May 2026 Plus Podcast Memories

Ep 354 April 2026 Roundup with Ellen
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
It’s the beginning of April and that means I have the opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of to discuss the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I discuss a recent study that looks at how patients with celiac disease interact with their health care professionals. This is, of course dependent on the particular health care professional, but the study found that often celiac patients felt that their doctor was treating them with less respect as if they weren’t very smart. Ellen reminded us of the Conquer Study that you can still fill out. The study...

Ep #353 Selena and Ellen Talk Restaurants and Travel
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
This podcast afforded me the distinct pleasure of having a conversation with both Registered Dietitian Selena De Vries and Ellen Bayens of . Selena often shares her insights into ordering and eating at fast food restaurants – something most of us miss, and Ellen has extensive experience with eating safely at a variety of restaurants. Our conversation can help identify what the real concerns are, and how to both prepare prior to arriving at the restaurant as well as the language to help you make safe choices. We all get concerned about travelling, especially internationally, and...

Ep 352 March 2026 Roundup with Ellen
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
It’s the beginning of March 2026 and my opportunity again to chat with Ellen Bayens of about studies and topics she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I tackle the tricky diagnosis of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NSGS). I say tricky, because currently science is still struggling to find a way to make a diagnosis of celiac symptoms when a patient doesn’t have the genetic predisposition for celiac disease. This question has been looking for an answer for a long time, and we may now be close. The good thing about NCGS is that Celiac Canada has welcomed those...

Ep 349 Gluten Free Food Hacks with Cindi
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
On this podcast I speak with Cindi Little the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet. I wanted to chat with Cindi to explore some of the ways gluten free convenience foods and mixes which have relatively recently exploded onto the market can be used in creative ways to be more satisfying and help us expand our daily menu selections. Cindi and I speak about gluten free breaded chicken pieces that are now widely available as well as the many gluten free sauce and gravy mixes we find in our grocery stores. Cindi and I acknowledge that many people don’t have access to the flours that would be used in...

Ep 348 January 2026 Roundup
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
Hapy New Year! It’s the beginning of January 2026 which means I can take the opportunity to speak again with Ellen Bayens of about news and information she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen speaks to us about a study done on children properly diagnosed with celiac disease who, after months on the gluten free diet and lower antibody numbers are still showing symptoms. The study may show a link between these symptoms and a condition called DGBI (Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction). Ellen has informed us of the testing process of an app for our phones which is in...

Ep 347 Petition Update with Melissa
A Canadian Celiac Podcast
On this podcast I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada regarding the recent petition that was up for signatures. The time to sign has now closed and I was interested in how successful the CCA was in getting signatures a second time for this petition, and what the next steps are to push for the reality to make gluten free more affordable in Canada.

info_outlineThis 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 you’re not familiar with Cinde Little and her recipes, here’s the link to the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet as well as a link to The Celiac Scene where you’ll find everything Ellen Bayens is working on for us.
I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to make this trip with my daughter, to experience so much of what a Canadian road trip offers and as well tick a couple of things off my bucket list. Thanks for taking the time to join me while I travelled and now while I look back on a wonderful opportunity to see so much of Canada and do it safely gluten free.
