Ep 344 November 2025 Roundup

Episode 344

Thursday, November 6, 2025 • Duration 38:43

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 theceliacscene.com. 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 30,000 this time. Please click the link and send it on to anyone else who you think is interested on our behalf. You can find out more and sign the petition at –

Ellen and I spoke at length about some of the information that came from the recent International Celiac Conference in Finland. Melissa Secord from the CCA was part of a Canadian "team" attending who did a great job presenting and interacting with experts from all over the world. We touched on research regarding a promising advancement in testing for celiac disease by a simple blood test. We also speak about research to try and "turn-off" the celiac switch and learn more about that.

We learn why some people who think they might be celiac, might instead need to be on a temporary FODMAP diet to reset their digestive system with the help of a dietician.

Here are the links to theceliacscene.com that Ellen and I spoke about –

Ep 343 CCA Attends Conference in Finland

Episode 343

Wednesday, October 22, 2025 • Duration 44:48

On this podcast I take the opportunity to speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada regarding her recent attendance as part of the Canadian "team" at an international Celiac Conference in Finland.

First, let me remind you of the Step Up for Celiac fundraiser that is being held by Celiac Canada all across the country during the month of October.

https://www.celiac.ca/get-involved/stepupforceliac/

Melissa and I spoke about the presentations made at the conference and about discussions held with support organizations in other countries and their shared issues. The team that attended from Canada made presentations and networked with some of the top world experts in Celiac Disease. You can find out more on Melissa's blog from the Conference.

Melissa mentioned that the petition to the Federal Government would be re-issued. That has now been done, and you can find out more and sign the petition at –

Ep 334 Pt 5 GF Road Trip

Episode 334

Monday, June 30, 2025 • Duration 09:53

We spent the next night in Kamloops, and I was lucky enough to have pizza left from lunch, so that filled the spot for dinner. In the morning, we headed towards the ferry terminal south of Vancouver for the ferry to Victoria at 3pm. I wanted to get to the ferry early, which was a good thing as we met so much traffic leaving for the mountains for the long holiday weekend. I decided to get another taco salad from Wendy's and enjoyed eating it while in the line for the ferry.

We arrived on Vancouver Island and drove to our hotel in downtown Victoria. I decided on an Indian restaurant a few blocks away called Sizzling Tandoor reported to have lots of gluten free options. They did, and I thoroughly enjoyed butter chicken, rice and poppadums which are thin chips usually made from lentil flour that are a great substitute for bread if they are made gluten free.

I have been looking forward to the next morning for so long. It was my opportunity to finally meet Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com whom I have been friends with for years but never met. Ellen made reservations for us to have brunch at one of her favourite restaurants – Six Mile Pub. We sat in the cozy gazebo on the patio, met with the chef and had the best gluten free meal I can remember. We asked the chef for three different dishes, and we were treated to creative steak & eggs, poached eggs and pancakes. Although they sound simple, these dishes were works of art and I savoured every bite. There's nothing better than sharing an amazing meal with a good friend. Ellen and I could have talked for hours, but Trish and I had to be on our way heading for our final destination of Comox.

Ellen suggested we stop at the town of Ladysmith along the way to visit The Wild Poppy, a gluten free bakery. What a treat – I bought a massive blueberry scone, date square and butter tart. I'm so spoiled.

After arriving in Comox, Trish's boyfriend met us, and we decided to try a burger place Ellen has raved about. The Big Wheel is worth the hype – no flax in the GF hamburger bun and a separate fryer – Perfect!

We've settled in here for a few days until I fly back to Ontario. Now I can try the gluten free options in Comox – more treats to come!

Wednesday Podcast Man Brain (FABULOUS!!)
Living with Dermatitis Herpetiformis in Algeria

Ep 242 Celiac with a Man Brain

Episode 242

Wednesday, October 26, 2022 • Duration 46:21

On this episode I'm speaking with a co-host from my other podcast, Gluten Free Weigh In. Aaron has been diagnosed for about one year and I wanted to speak to him about being a man with celiac disease. Overwhelmingly, most celiacs I've known are women. We talk about why more men aren't seeking diagnosis, as well as how most of the resources available are directed towards women. Aaron is in a unique position to discuss this subject matter with me, not only because he's a man, but he is also a behaviourist, with a Master's degree in Behaviour Education. Aaron is very animated and honest and will almost certainly challenge some of your perceptions of living with celiac disease.

Ep 241 DH and Gluten Free in a Foreign Land

Episode 241

Wednesday, October 19, 2022 • Duration 35:45

On this episode I speak with Derradji Zaarer who lives in Algeria. Derradji has Dermatitis Herpetiformis or as we often refer to it as "DH". DH is essentially celiac disease of the skin. Diagnosis for DH is often straightforward, as the tiny blisters are usually in symmetric distribution, meaning that if you have them on your left elbow, you will also have them on your right elbow, or wherever else they appear.

Derradji faces many challenges with his rare condition including the availability of the medication normally prescribed. The limited availability of gluten free food is also something that makes dealing with DH in Algeria very difficult. With all he is facing, Derradji is doing his best to connect with other DH patients as well as celiac patients both in his country and in other places. He has found the CCA a reliable website for medical information about DH and the gluten free diet. If you would like to reach out to him, his email is derradjizaarer@gmail.com.

For more information on DH, you can follow the link to the Canadian Celiac Association at https://www.celiac.ca/gluten-related-disorders/dermatitis-herpetiformis/

Ep 239 October 2022 Roundup

Episode 239

Wednesday, October 5, 2022 • Duration 01:09:25

This episode is my recurring opportunity to weigh in on information Ellen Bayens published on theceliacscene.com during the past month. The challenge of finding safe french fries in restaurants is one that every celiac encounters, so Ellen and I both give our take on the subject. We talk about the recent recall for M&M Foods along with their gluten free policies. Island Farms, a dairy on Vancouver Island has recently decided to NO LONGER make their ice creams gluten free, so we look at the impact on the community. An informative long-term study out of Norway looks at detecting celiac disease in the general population over time. Arsenic, mercury and lead are all undesirable in our food, and the gluten free diet poses a greater risk of these substances showing up, but there are steps you can take. We are all familiar with celiac disease, but do you know what makes either a wheat allergy, or non-celiac gluten sensitivity different?

The Canadian Celiac Association is requesting you take part in a survey – here's the link - "State of Celiac Disease in Canada".

The CCA has recently launched a program to help the newly diagnosed. You can find it online at - https://www.celiac.ca/newlydiagnosed/

Selena DeVries has a new online course to help you gain confidence when going out to eat.

Ep 238 Sue Goes Back to Camp Celiac

Episode 238

Wednesday, September 28, 2022 • Duration 42:42

Two weeks in August was the culmination of a many hours of work by dedicated volunteers to make Camp Celiac 2022 happen. I was a member of the Menu Committee and along with others we worked and re-worked a menu for the camp that would be exciting for celiac and non-celiac kids alike. The force behind camp celiac is Carmen, a member of the Ottawa Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association. Carmen spent the most time of the two weeks at camp. I, and a few others were there for designated days. Once the hard work of the menu was completed, we reached out to gluten free food partners to supply some of the specialty food. Our food partners were amazing with their donations, that allowed us to present meals that were enthusiastically enjoyed by all. For more information on Camp Celiac you can go to their website https://www.campceliac.ca/ You can also join the Camp Celiac facebook group. If you'd like more information on volunteering for next year, or if you are interested in what it takes to start a camp for celiac kids near you, please email me and we can start a conversation – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com.
