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 theceliacscene.com. 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 worldwide. A new study looks at the risk of kissing someone who has recently eaten gluten. It was a small study, but did indicate that the risk under the controlled circumstances was less than 20ppm and not a serious concern. Ellen and I spoke about the contributions Mike Rose made to the celiac community. Mike passed away earlier this year, but he is remembered for his years as a celiac volunteer and educator. I spoke to Mike about his investigation to find a safe retirement home for him and his wife. Ellen was helped by Mike when she first found out she needed to eat gluten free. Mike will be missed by many. Ellen was contacted again this year regarding her local school board looking for host families for international students who require a gluten free diet. There is a need for host families across the country, so if this is something you would like to do, please contact your local school board to see if there is a need in your area. I'll be recording with Ellen in the next week about things I learned during my recent gluten free road trip from Ontario to Vancouver Island.

I made it to my final destination of Comox British Columbia where my daughter was joining her boyfriend who had been stationed there earlier this year. A very long trip but they organized for an apartment and everything went very smoothly. While staying in a hotel before they got their keys, we went out for breakfast to Smitty's (the GF dedicated restaurant in town was too busy to take us which is great for them!) I spoke to the server at Smitty's about gluten free and she was very knowledgeable. I try to order relatively simply when they don't say anything on the menu, but have the knowledge. I had eggs over easy, bacon and potato shreds which were all done on the flattop away from any pancakes. I had a very satisfying and filling breakfast! We were finally able to grocery shop and cook for ourselves which made meals easier in the apartment, but there were still restaurants I wanted to try. We had dinner at a dedicated gluten free restaurant called Off the Hook. Crab cakes are something delicate that I love, but usually can't have, but at this restaurant I could have them and they were terrific! I also had the fish and chips, which were some of the best. I'm so spoiled! My daughter saw a gluten free bakery just outside of Comox on the highway, which she thought I'd be interested in. It was not what I expected – from a storefront perspective – but the food I bought was amazing. They had and extensive line of bread and cookies and tarts and buns all gluten free and also with keto and dairy free in mind. I need to discuss this bakery more with Ellen. My last restaurant stop was at Taco Bandido in Courtney. Most things on the menu could be made gluten free and I was happy when the server said the chef would clean off a portion of the cook top to ensure no gluten came into contact with my tacos. I had the Beef Birria tacos once again to compare them the ones I had in Thunder Bay. Both were great, but these ones were so rich (yummy) that I could only eat half of the order and brought the rest back to the apartment with me. I'm flying home tomorrow but will be recapping my trip with Ellen on a podcast in the next couple of weeks. If you have any questions for me please email them to acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com. I've loaded some pictures on my blog.

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! I've loaded some pictures on my blog.

We left Regina on a nice sunny day and headed west. We stopped at Wendy's (again) for lunch, but this time I had the taco salad – without the corn chips as apparently, they aren't safe. You get a nice salad, a good portion of chili and some salsa. I poured the chili on the salad and thoroughly enjoyed my lunch in the car. Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet was very kind to invite us for dinner at her home in Calgary that evening. She made a menu card especially for us. All the recipes came from her blog everydayglutenfreegourmet and they were delicious! Cinde even served edible flowers from her garden with the dessert and sent me home with a goodie bag! Here's the menu links – Adobo Chicken Southwestern Quinoa Salad with Chipotle Mayo Steamed Green Beans Strawberry Cheesecake Ice Cream with edible flowers Chocolate Cheesecake Brownies We were actually staying in Airdrie, north of Calgary. We left from there to travel west through the mountains on our way to Kamloops for our next hotel stay. We looked ahead to find a restaurant that might suit as we are travelling with our small dog. We decided on The Turning Point in Golden BC. What a great find – they even had a doggie patio! They had two kinds of gluten free pizza – one had flax, so I was thankful there was another choice of a cauliflower crust pizza. Their pepperoni wasn't gluten free so I opted for a ham and pineapple with onions and green peppers – Wow, it was amazing and I had enough to bring along with us to heat up later for dinner. Tomorrow we take the ferry to Victoria. I've loaded some pictures on my blog.

We arrived in Winnipeg in plenty of time to settle into our hotel and go to Montanas for dinner. I've eaten at Montanas a number of times and always get the ribs with Texas bold sauce and a baked potato with butter – very yummy! I had my last sandwich on the road which worked out well as there aren't many places for me to have a hot lunch on the Trans Canada Highway between Winnipeg and Regina. Once in Regina I was excited to go out for fish and chips at a very busy sports bar/restaurant called 4 Seasons. The owner's wife is celiac and they have an extensive gluten free menu. My fish was wonderful and I was offered gf gravy to go with my chips which was a real treat. We ended up staying longer in Regina than expected to get a small thing fixed on the car. We went to the science museum and ended up at The Lobby restaurant for a chicken Caesar salad for lunch – one of the best I've had! We finished the night with chili and a baked potato from Wendy's – always good and filling. We're leaving in the morning to get to Calgary where I've been invited for a very special dinner with a friend of the podcast – so looking forward to it. I've loaded some pictures on my blog.

We left Sault Ste. Marie in an intense thunderstorm, and rain and wind stayed with us on and off for the next couple of days. Our drive to Thunder Bay was very scenic, but so many trees and so much wilderness. Not many places to stop – I was glad I had my cold cuts and buns with me for lunch. Once we arrived in Thunder Bay the restaurant I had picked out was a short walk from our hotel. It was a Mexican restaurant called Nortenos Taqueria. I got the Beef Birria – it was so yummy I started to eat it before I took the photo (there were originally 3 tacos). This restaurant has a gluten free fryer! We stopped and took a photo with The Big Goose near Wawa (it was very windy). We also drove by the longitudinal Centre of Canada – I never thought this was a thing, but it's cool to think I was there. Our next stop was in Winnipeg. I've loaded some pictures on my blog.

We left the Kingston area with a very full car for our trip to Vancouver Island to relocate my daughter. Our first night stop was in North Bay. We got takeout from Boston Pizza, which I always enjoy. Then after a good night's sleep our next stop was the Big Nickel in Sudbury – very cool! A friend recommended a gluten free bakery to me that was in Lively, west of Sudbury called Gluten Free Galore, but also goes by the name Amici. I bought white bread, two cupcakes, date squares, and sandwich buns which we put to good use for a picnic along our route. Our dinner was at a restaurant called La Anh (formerly Sunset Noodle House) – Yum. I've loaded some pictures on my blog.

It's the beginning of June and again my opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss interesting articles she has brought to our attention during May. Ellen and I start off talking about May being Celiac Awareness Month and the Light Up events held in her city of Victoria. We also mention a popular event of Gluten Free Food Drives that happen across the country during May. We also talk about my recent podcast regarding the Gluten Free Expo in Vancouver on June 7th and 8th. We are then led into discussing gluten free sourdough bread and I express some of my observances around the commitment involved to make this amazing bread. Ellen and I also discuss some of the posts Selena DeVries RD on her Instagram celiac_made_simple including a great hack to ensure you can get a gluten free blizzard at Dairy Queen. Lastly, I talk about my plans with Ellen to drive across the country to Vancouver Island with my daughter who is relocating there. I'm thrilled that we will be able to finally meet in person and Ellen has some great plans for us and brunch! CELIAC SCENE NEWS #shinealightonceliac - A Victoria Success!

Lastly, I talk about my plans with Ellen to drive across the country to Vancouver Island with my daughter who is relocating there. I'm thrilled that we will be able to finally meet in person and Ellen has some great plans for us and brunch! CELIAC SCENE NEWS #shinealightonceliac - A Victoria Success!

Episode 346 – Hashtags in 2025: Should You Still Bother? Let's talk hashtags—the little pound sign that once ruled the social media world… but in 2025, are they still pulling their weight? In this episode of the Small Business Made Simple Podcast, I'm cutting through the confusion and diving into what hashtags really do now, which platforms they still matter on, and whether you should keep using them or ditch them altogether. If you're still popping #smallbizlife or #foryoupage into every post, but not seeing results—this episode is for you. You'll learn: ✅ The truth about how hashtags work on Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and Facebook in 2025 ✅ How many hashtags to use (and which ones to skip completely) ✅ The rise of keyword-rich captions and why they're now more powerful than your tag strategy ✅ 5 things to focus on instead of obsessing over hashtags ✅ A fresh, simplified approach to social media that prioritises connection over confusion Hashtags aren't dead—but they're no longer your growth engine. They're the seasoning, not the main meal.

Celiac Awareness Month always brings with the hope of spring and the renewal of the plants and flowers in our communities. If you live in a rural area or on a farm, spring brings many more wonders. I'm hoping that it also brings a renewal of your involvement in the celiac community, in person or maybe online. This month Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene and I speak about Celiac Awareness Month, in particular about the mascot for the campaign and some of the activities and promotion related to it. On celiac.ca you'll find a graphic of “It Be” that's ready for colouring. If you're able to promote celiac awareness month, or share other posts on social media, please be sure to use the hashtags – #CeliacAwarenessMonth #CeliacIsAChameleon #GlutenFree #CeliacCanada Also, here is the link to the symptom checker – https:www.celiac.ca/celiac-disease-symptom-checklist We also spoke about the new course that Selena DeVries RD is starting called The Confident Celiac. You can find Selena online at selenard.com and on Instagram at celiac_made_simple. Ellen also gave me lots to think about with an article about using rice papers to make croissants. Sounds pretty crazy, but I'll try over this month and report back. Here are links from Ellen.

I love when I have recurring guests to catch us up on the podcast. Melissa Secord, the Executive Director of Celiac Canada is one of those treasured guests from many different episodes. You can find out more about our topics on Celiac Canada's website celiac.ca. With the election looming as I recorded with Melissa, she was able to tell me about the letter writing campaign CCA has instituted to send letters to each of the candidates in your electoral riding. This is amazing – all you have to do is fill in some identifying information and press submit and individual letters are sent on your behalf. CCA has crafted a letter explaining our concerns including the cost of gluten free food – our only medicine, tax relief in the form of a flat medical tax claim, and the impact of tariffs on our precious gluten free foods. I encourage you to submit a letter, it only takes a minute or so, to let your candidates know what is important to you. Melissa gives us a sneak peek at the promotional campaign CCA is rolling out for May, Celiac Awareness month. You can find out more on the website regarding the campaign events and light ups across the country. I was honoured to be awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal in a ceremony presented by Celiac Canada in mid-March. Melissa gives us some background on the awards, some of the recipients and the awards ceremonies that took place across Canada. Melissa herself received an award, which was well deserved. The ceremony was a great opportunity to meet up with people I had spoken with on the podcast, or remember from past in-person conferences – it was truly a memorable occasion.

It's the beginning of April, which means that I again have the pleasure of speaking with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. On this podcast Ellen and I speak about a new study that looks at vitamin deficiencies found with celiac disease and the gluten free diet. We also talk about gluten free food insecurity and Celiac Canada's efforts to assist. Ellen posted on social media about a restaurant posting a sign saying they were not able to meet the needs of those requiring a strict gluten free diet or with a serious food allergy. There is a story here that resulted in the sign which Ellen explains, but she received many varied responses to this issue with this particular restaurant. She also tells us about a sushi restaurant near her that goes above and beyond to ensure that many of their meals are gluten free and celiac safe. Ellen and I do love a good news story. The topic of Artificial Intelligence is one that stirs many emotions and can be controversial. Ellen has found a study that used AI to look over thousands of biopsy results taken during celiac diagnosis and AI was found to be very accurate in identifying CD. AI is currently used in cancer diagnosis. This study prompted some lively discussion but in the end we're both on the same page that whatever helps in the diagnosis journey is a good thing. I was recently honoured by Celiac Canada with the presentation of the King Charles III Coronation Medal. I explain more about the award and the truly personal nature of the honour. I will include a couple of photos on my blog acanadianceliacblog.com.

On this episode I'm speaking with Megan who has been recently diagnosed with silent celiac disease, meaning she doesn't experience any gastrointestinal symptoms she is aware of. Megan is also interested in behavioural eating and works with clients to undo years of dis-ordered eating. I speak to Megan about how she was diagnosed, as well as to how she's coping as a silent celiac. Megan also gives us some insight into behaviours that you might notice in a celiac child than could indicate that the child is struggling with their behaviours around food. A parent of a celiac child often has a difficult time understanding how their child relates to food and Megan gives us some tips to look for as well as some suggestions you might consider. You can find Megan online at https://partakemealplanning.com/ and on Instagram at partake_foodie.

It's time again for me to talk with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles she has published and information she has provided to us over the past month. Ellen and I opened our conversation talking about Starbucks and their statement on the safety of their stores for someone who needs to eat gluten free. Ellen hopes they would want to be a leader in gluten free as they have been in other aspects of their business, but it appears that's not the case at the moment. Does Starbucks Offer a Gluten-Free Guarantee? I'm always fascinated with the approaches that researchers take to solving the puzzle of celiac disease. Ellen presents us with work being done on a vaccine which will hopefully allow our bodies to tolerate gluten. Researchers Work to Create Vaccine to Allow Celiacs to ‘Tolerate' Gluten Ellen and I discuss the uses for a genetic test you can take at home to identify those at risk of developing celiac disease. New At-Home Saliva Test Rules Out Genetic Risk of Developing Celiac Disease A new study looks at the role dietary fibre plays in young children and how it effects their risk of developing celiac disease by age 13.

I've been using the app Find Me Gluten Free on my phone for more than five years, but I always had some reservations about how to interpret the information I was finding. I decided to go right to the top and speak with the app's creator Jason Elmore. The app – Find Me Gluten Free has listings from around the world for restaurants, cafés and bakeries that offer gluten free food. Jason, himself celiac created the app as a place to list and review restaurants that offer gluten free. I was able to ask Jason all my questions including how to best utilize crowd-sourced reviews and information. I'm often not very confident in the reviews of people I don't know because I'm unsure of their level of understanding of the gluten free diet. I was pleased to find out that Jason not only had some great tips for reading through the reviews, but the app has incorporated some features to both allow the user to better evaluate the review/reviewer and set a standard for safety. I encourage you to download the app, use it, and write reviews so the entire gluten free community can benefit from your experiences. If you have any further questions for Jason, or just want to send him some encouraging thoughts you can email him at - jason@findmeglutenfree.com You can also follow Find Me Gluten Free on Instagram @findmeglutenfree.

The beginning of February is my opportunity to again speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about studies and articles she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen and I spoke about the findings of Dr. Diana Mager and her team at the University of Alberta regarding food insecurity in families with a celiac child or children. This is something I covered in a recent podcast with Dr. Mager and something that will help shape the response of Celiac Canada to this issue. Food Insecurity for Celiac Children | A Canadian Celiac Podcast Cost of Gluten-Free Diet Contributing to Food Insecurity Ellen was able to give us a firsthand introduction to a link between Liver Disease and Celiac Disease that was looked at in a recent study. Celiac Disease Linked to Chronic Liver Disease We also talked about the new recipe phenomenon called egg bites or breakfast cups, which can easily be made gluten free. Ellen has given us the recipe from a trusted gluten free bakery near her. As well, we noted that M&M Food Markets has added a new gluten free dinner entrée to their extensive list of gluten free food. Recipe Alert! Breakfast Egg Cups by Wild Poppy Bistro & Bakery New to M&M Food Market Introduces Thai Chicken Peanut Curry Ellen mentioned Celiac Canada's webpage regarding information for healthcare professionals in managing patients with celiac disease, which many people have found helpful in dealing with their doctors. www.celiac.ca/healthcare-professionals/management/ Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Celiac Kid Stuff – https://www.celiackidstuff.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com

I always get excited to speak with a guest who can fill in some of the blanks in my knowledge about food insecurity for Celiacs in Canada. I work with Celiac Canada to help educate foodbanks to be able to serve our community better. Dr. Diana Mager and her team at the University of Alberta have, in the past, taken a great interest in the nutritional needs of celiac children in Canada (Podcast Episode 292 - https://bit.ly/Ep292CeliacKidsFoodGuide). More recently Dr. Mager and her team have completed a cross-Canada survey of families to determine the food insecurity issues in families with celiac children. Her article was recently published in the Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition and even made the front cover! You can read the abstract here - https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39467010/ Given the causes we know for food insecurity, Dr. Mager was able to identify other issues that were making it difficult for families to maintain a healthy gluten free diet for their celiac children.

It'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. MRI Technology Measures Impact of Gluten-Free Diet on Celiacs 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?

Recently, I spoke with Melissa Secord and Caleigh McAulay, RD after they attended the International Symposium on Celiac Disease held in Sheffield UK this fall. During that conversation Caleigh mentioned a presentation that she found very interesting by Anne Lee, RD. The presentation was titled "Is the Gluten-Free Diet Always Portrayed Negatively". I was interested to speak to Caleigh about this with a consideration as to who is eating gluten free besides those of us with celiac disease. Caleigh breaks it down for us and looks at the pros and cons of an expanded population eating gluten free. As well we talk about other people who feel the gluten free diet helps their medical conditions.

It's hard to believe it's December, but it's another great opportunity to speak with my good friend Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen and I chat about things that she has published on her blog over the past month. We start by talking about the podcast conversation I had with Celiac Canada's Melissa Secord and Caleigh McAulay RD attending the International Symposium on Celiac Disease held in Sheffield UK earlier this fall. We talked about new paths to diagnosis, the 20 ppm standard for gluten free as well as the role of the different support groups internationally.

It's been a busy year for Celiac Canada and one highlight has to have been Melissa Secord and Caleigh McAulay RD attending the International Symposium on Celiac Disease held in Sheffield UK earlier this fall. Both Melissa and Caleigh returned with so much information regarding ongoing and upcoming research along with best practices from other countries. Melissa shares with us some new theories for better diagnosis as well as questioning some ideas we have held as fact. Caleigh presented a poster on behalf of Celiac Canada regarding our recent State of Celiac Survey and learned so much from the many sessions and from other dietitians in attendance. Celiac Canada was well represented by Melissa and Caleigh, and I was thrilled to have an enlightening conversation with them about their experiences at the Symposium.

REPLAY OF PODCAST THEORY LIVE FROM 6.10.24It's no secret the face of "social" media has changed.Today, networks like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others have become ad and algorithm-driven, making it increasingly difficult to maintain social standards once championed and rewarded by these platforms. Oftentimes, it's hard to even tell if you're connecting with a real person or a bot dead set on scamming you.With podcasting, you always know you're connecting with a real person and, when value is front of mind with all parties involved, the opportunities for relationships to spark and big ideas to unfold is elevated in spades.If you ask me, podcasting has become the new SOCIAL media of our world and brands, businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals at all levels need to make it part of their communication structure.This is the debut installment of Podcast Theory Live and I couldn't think of a better topic to tackle as I get this new series off the ground.____________________________________Every weekday, I go live on the Bombtrack Media YouTube channel for new episodes of Podcast Theory Live featuring tips, strategies, and commentary focused on the world of podcasting.Please subscribe on YouTube and click the bell so you can join me and interact while these episodes unfold.
