In recent years, gluten-free diets have become more and more popular. No doubt you've seen “Free From” aisles in your local supermarket, and you can also get gluten-free items in health food shops or online. Some people have no choice but to adopt such a diet, because they have coeliac disease, a lifelong autoimmune condition which causes their body to attack its own tissue when gluten is consumed. According to Coeliac UK, the condition affects just 1% of the population. However, there have been claims that going gluten-free has benefits like weight loss, increased energy and improved overall health, but there's little in the way of research to back all that up. So, what is it about gluten that causes health problems ? Which foods contain gluten ? How can you tell if you really have Coeliac disease ?

What would you do? Well, my guest today used his own adversities to create gluten free food that replicated the gluten containing foods he missed so much. By created these gluten free versions of the foods he craved, he was then able to help others find these foods, allowing them opportunities to eat together again with friends and family without feeling different. My guest on today's episode is founder of Ardor Gluten Free, Vince Lotito.

A Gluten Free PodcastEpisode 187This week, we're flipping the script on how we think about coeliac disease and gluten free living. What if we approached it like a scientist?I've spoken with leading experts like Dr Jason Tye-Din, Olivia Moscatelli and Andrew Williams — all scientists who use trial, error, and objectivity to explore the unknown. While we may not be in a lab, we can use their mindset to navigate our own gluten free lives.

It's officially summer and a perfect time to roll out the latest episode of News and Notes! Mike and Cam share some great letters from listeners who have recently been diagnosed, plus a longtime listener who has had a few happy voyages on the Celiac Cruise. We also talk about an intriguing kissing study, debrief an eventful Celiac Awareness Month, and much more!

A Gluten Free PodcastEpisode 185Welcome to this solo episode of Gluten Free Thoughts, where I'm reflecting on an essential but sometimes tricky topic: balance. Managing coeliac disease and living gluten free is a constant balancing act—between health and happiness, caution and connection, science and sanity. Everyone's journey is different, and today I want to encourage you to find your balance and to do YOU.

Mike and Cam are so happy to welcome Dr. Benjamin Lebwohl, MD and Randi Wolf, PhD, MPH from the Celiac Disease Center at Columbia University Medical Center, to the podcast. They are currently collaborating on an exciting study, the GLUTECH Trial, which explores how gluten detection technology may improve the treatment of people who are newly diagnosed with celiac disease. In this informative conversation, we also discuss the state of celiac research and the need for more studies dealing in the social and emotional wellness of celiac patients.

Imagine a world where diagnosing coeliac disease didn't involve getting sick on purpose. Turns out we might be one step closer to that reality. Plus, nearly three decades on we finally now know why Martin Bryant unleashed terror on the small Tasmanian town of Port Arthur. And in headlines today Harvey Weinstein has again been found guilty on one of the sexual assault charges he's facing at his New York retrial, one charge still has the jury divided; Tasmania will head to the polls on July 19 after the state's governor granted Premier Jeremy Rockliff's request for a snap election following his no confidence vote loss; Elon Musk is walking back some of the comments he made about Donald Trump last week; Beach Boys co-founder Brian Wilson has died age 82 LISTEN: What Really Happened At Port Arthur: A Survivor's Story THE END BITSSupport independent women's media Check out The Quicky Instagram here Mamamia studios are styled with furniture from Fenton and Fenton visit www.fentonandfenton.com.au GET IN TOUCHShare your story, feedback, or dilemma!

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 183 – Time for a Gluten Free AuditWelcome back! In today's solo episode, we're taking an unexpected but surprisingly helpful detour… into taxes. Yep — sounds dull, but stick with me! As my wife Bec (who handles all the books for my businesses — legend!) and I went through receipts and plans, it got me thinking: this same process can help us check in with how we're managing coeliac disease and our gluten free lifestyle. So, today I'm inviting you to do a gluten free audit with me.Living with coeliac disease isn't a “set and forget” situation. Whether you're newly diagnosed or a seasoned gluten free pro, it's easy to drift into habits that aren't serving you anymore. Taking time to reflect can make a huge difference — not for perfection, but for progress.Here are a few powerful questions we'll explore together:What's going well in your gluten free life?Where are you just getting by?What habits support you?Which ones need a rethink?To help guide this process, I break the audit into five key areas:1. Health Check-UpsWhen was your last coeliac blood test? Are you staying on top of things like iron, B12, and vitamin D levels? If you've been diagnosed, did you get proper follow-up testing? Regular health check-ins keep us informed, empowered, and thriving — not just surviving.2. Dining OutDo you feel confident eating out or does it cause stress? Are you asking the right questions, checking menus properly, and setting boundaries when needed? I'll share some prompts to help you feel more at ease. (And if you haven't yet, check out my chat with Anthony Dionne on how to dine out gluten free — it's full of practical tips.)3. Making Gluten Free Food at HomeAre you stuck in a food rut? Or maybe relying on packaged foods more than you'd like? Let's look at how you can bring more joy and variety back into your gluten free kitchen. Cooking at home should be safe, nourishing — and fun!4. Preparation & PlanningAre you prepared for busy days, travel, or unexpected social events? Planning can make life smoother — whether that's packing safe snacks, prepping meals, or thinking ahead to events. Small changes here can lead to big results.5. Support NetworkWho's in your corner? Living gluten free can feel isolating. Whether it's friends, family, online communities, or professionals, having people who get it makes a real difference. And if you're feeling alone, I want you to know I'm here to support you too.I'll also share my own honest reflections — where I'm doing well and where I still have work to do. Because let's be real: none of us are perfect. That's not the goal. What matters is checking in, adjusting where needed, and giving ourselves the chance to grow.Resources mentioned:

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 179In today's episode, I'm taking a moment to reflect on our incredible conversation last week with Iron Ramen — a gluten free Japanese restaurant built from the ground up after their son's coeliac diagnosis.We'll explore the powerful idea of doing one thing and doing it really well, and how that can lead to incredible growth — not just in business, but in life. I'll also talk about how Iron Ramen's journey reminds me of the concept of Ikigai, a Japanese philosophy about finding your reason for being, something I first came across in a book that had a big impact on me.Finding inspiration and motivation can feel tough sometimes in our gluten free lives, especially when coeliac disease can make things harder. But stories like Iron Ramen's — and the conversation I'm about to have next week with a podcast listener — show that if you don't let your diagnosis hold you back, you can find your purpose and live a great gluten free life.I'll also share a personal update on how I believe I'm finding my own Ikigai through this podcast, our community, and everything we're building at A Gluten Free Family. And, excitingly, for the first time, I'll introduce something I've wanted to do for a long time: sharing a listener's story. Next week, you'll hear from someone who has gained a lot from this podcast, and I'll sit down with them to hear their gluten free journey and how this community has impacted their life.In This Episode:A recap of our last episode with Iron Ramen: doing one thing, doing it well, and growing from thereHow a son's coeliac diagnosis inspired a thriving gluten free businessAn introduction to Ikigai: what it means and how it applies to living well with coeliac diseaseHow Iron Ramen found their Ikigai — and how it's inspiring others in the gluten-free communityMy personal journey with finding Ikigai through A Gluten Free Family and this podcastHow we can all find motivation and purpose after a coeliac diagnosisA look ahead: a special interview with a listener who found support and encouragement through this podcastHow finding your gluten free Ikigai can then help others in a similar situation to you Next week's guest: previewing our chat with Stephen about pushing through challenges and not letting anything stop youWhat is Ikigai? Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept meaning “a reason for being.” It's the sweet spot where what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for all come together. It's about living with purpose, passion, and balance — even in the small, everyday moments.Resources Mentioned:Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life by Héctor García and Francesc MirallesIron Ramen (link to website/socials)Connect with A Gluten Free Family:Instagram: @aglutenfreefamilyFacebook: A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook GroupWebsite: www.aglutenfreefamily.comDisclaimerThe content on this podcast is not a substitution for professional medical advice.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 178 On today's episode, I'm joined by Leanne and Dave, the founders of Iron Ramen — Sydney's cult-favourite gluten free Japanese food truck. Their son's coeliac disease diagnosis, a deep love of Japanese food and culture, and a gap in the gluten free market all led to the creation of Iron Ramen — and since then, they've been winning over the coeliac and gluten free community one bowl at a time.I first tasted their incredible ramen at the Gluten Free Sydney Expo and instantly understood the hype — pulling off proper gluten free ramen is no easy feat! In this chat, we dive into their journey, the inspiration behind their menu, and the hard work and creativity it's taken to bring Iron Ramen to life.We cover:What Iron Ramen is and their mission to serve the coeliac communityHow their son's coeliac diagnosis changed everythingTheir lifelong love of Japanese food, culture, and creativityHow the idea for Iron Ramen came about (and the story behind the name!)The challenges of creating authentic gluten free ramen and Japanese fried dishesWhy they chose a food truck model and what it's really like running oneBuilding strong trust with the gluten free community and earning Coeliac Australia accreditationTheir best-selling dishes (spoiler: you'll be hungry by the end)Events and areas where you can find Iron RamenWhat's next for Iron Ramen and their collaborations with other gluten free businessesA moment that's had the biggest impact on their journey so farI loved this conversation with Leanne and Dave — not only because of their passion and creativity, but also because their story resonates so much with my own love for Japanese food, coeliac awareness, and heavy music (yes, the Iron Maiden-inspired name is no coincidence!).If you're in Sydney or see Iron Ramen at an event, do yourself a favour and go taste their food. It's businesses like this that are helping to grow and strengthen the gluten free community — one chat, and one bowl of ramen, at a time.Where to find Iron Ramen:

May is Coeliac Awareness Month, highlighting a condition that affects 1 in 100 people - many undiagnosed. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune reaction to gluten, and managing it means big changes in daily life.Joining guest host Anna Daly to answer key questions and help us better understand this often-misunderstood condition is Registered Dietitian Sarah Keogh.

With another Celiac Awareness Month upon us, Mike and Cam share their 10th Annual Celiac State of the Union.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 177  On this episode, I begin with a quick recap of last week's powerful chat with Professor Bob Anderson, where we explored the science behind coeliac disease and the complexities of its diagnosis and treatment.This week, I'm taking a more personal turn.I want to talk about something I know many of us carry: guilt. Whether you've been recently diagnosed or have been living gluten free for years, you may carry around the thought that your coeliac disease is your fault. I know I have and it's taken me a long time to shed that guilt. Admittedly, I'm still working on it! Is it something I did? Was it my genes? My lifestyle? My diet? Or the doctors who missed it?The truth is—coeliac disease is caused by a mixture of genetic and environmental factors that are completely out of our control. So let me say this clearly:

Mike and Cam sit down with Dr. Ritu Verma, Chief of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Medical Director of University of Chicago's Celiac Disease Center. Dr. Verma helps the guys with some "myth busting" relating to celiac disease and a gluten free diet. They tackle both big and small topics including: Are there actually ways to reduce the chances of offspring developing celiac disease? How careful do kids really need to be while eating gluten free at home and at school? Is wheat starch safe for celiacs? And so much more!

A Gluten Free PodcastEpisode 173In this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I'll be talking about why it's crucial not to cut out gluten before getting tested for coeliac disease. I'll break down the science behind testing, the risks of going gluten-free too soon, and why getting an accurate diagnosis matters. Plus, I'll share a personal update on my bone density and what I've learned since my last scan.In this episode, we'll talk about:✅ Recap of my episode with Mel Bampton, former Triple J Radio Host  ✅ The risks of self-diagnosing and cutting out gluten too soon✅ Importance of ingesting gluten before being screened for coeliac disease ✅ Steps to take if you suspect you have coeliac disease✅ Coeliac disease testing and diagnosis process ✅ My coeliac disease diagnosis story and why I cut out gluten pre-diagnosis ✅ Why I decided to do the gluten challenge and have a formal coeliac disease diagnosis ✅ My latest bone density results and what they mean for my health✅ Teaser of next week's guest episode I also want your input—jump on our Instagram or Facebook group and share your diagnosis story.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 169In today's episode of A Gluten Free Podcast, I share something personal in the hope that it might help you on your own coeliac and gluten free journey. I recently had a bone density scan, and the results showed that I have osteopenia. This was a screening I had to push for. It wasn't something that was automatically suggested to me. If I hadn't advocated for myself, I wouldn't have known about this issue or had the chance to address it early.Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects much more than just digestion, and bone health is a big part of that. Many people with coeliac disease are at risk of low bone density due to years of malabsorption before diagnosis, yet routine follow-up care isn't always offered. That's why it's so important to be proactive about your health.In this episode, I talk about:My experience getting a bone density scan – what led me to push for it and how I felt about the results.The link between coeliac disease and osteopenia/osteoporosis – why coeliac disease can put people at risk for weakened bones.The importance of follow-up care for coeliac disease – what health checks should be part of ongoing management.Why you need to be your own best advocate – because if you don't speak up for your health, things can be missed.Follow-Up Care for Coeliac DiseaseCoeliac Australia provides clear guidelines on what follow-up care should look like for people with coeliac disease.
