The Canadian Celiac Association successfully presented two virtual conferences in 2020 and is now gearing up for the 2021 Conference.  I speak with Nicole Byrom RD from the CCA who is organizing the conference.  This conference will be somewhat different from all other CCA conferences in the past, in that of the two days, November 13th and 14th, the first day will be geared towards those who have been diagnosed for two years or less.  The second day will focus on information for those who have been diagnosed longer than two years.  Certainly, anyone is welcome to join either day, but I find it intriguing that this distinction was made.  You can find out more about the conference, the speaker lineup and how to register by going to the CCA website and clicking on News & Events where you'll find the Conference information listed - https://www.celiac.ca/news-events/national-conference/   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 Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I catch up with Carla as she is getting her kids ready for school as well as working on a special project for her employer to help taste test bagels.  Now that's a dream job!  I'm curious as to how people react to her when she turns down food and says she's fasting.  Carla has lots of answers for us.  You can follow Carla on Instagram @celiac_and_the_suburbs.  If you would like more information on the kids camp, you can look up www.campceliac.ca.

This week's episode is both encouraging and bittersweet.  Tamie is continuing her training for her half marathon run and is learning more about what gives her body energy.  Sara has decided to leave the podcast due to personal commitments.  Sara's work life has been somewhat challenging of late with juggling night shift and family life.  We talk about her experiences on the podcast and I put out a call for any of our listeners who might consider taking Sara's place to contact me.  If this is something you might consider exploring, please email me at glutenfreeweighin@gmail.com and we can go over some of what is involved in being a part of this podcast.

Some good news on this podcast from Julie Greene of the CCA and Marina Michaelides of Kinnikinnick.  Kinnikinnick has partnered with the Canadian Celiac Association in celebration of their 30th birthday.  Partnering with the CCA means helping them with ongoing special projects.  In this case, Kinnikinnick is sponsoring the wide distribution of the Growing Up Celiac book for families.  Additionally, they are hosting a contest for kids which will run for 30 days, with a terrific prize pack each day!  Kids are encouraged to go on the CCA website to enter (with a parent or guardian) by spotting the difference in two pictures – kids love to do that!  I am thrilled that Celiac Kid Stuff stickers and wristbands were chosen to be a part of the prize packs.   Kinnikinnick is also introducing some new products for their birthday, including three new flavours of Kinni-TOOS cookies.  Currently, if you place an order of a minimum $50 you get a box with all the new flavours together (until supplies last).  If you haven't purchased from Kinnikinnick in a while you may not realize that they have switched most of their products to “free from” most of the major allergens including milk and eggs (they were always nut free).  If you enjoy Kinnikinnick foods, (and who doesn't) now is the time to order while they are in a great giving birthday mode!   Here's the link to the CCA website to enter the contest - https://www.celiac.ca/ Also, here is where you can order directly from Kinnikinnick - https://www.kinnikinnick.com/ Here's the link for my website Celiac Kid Stuff - https://celiackidstuff.com/   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 Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I speak with Carla who is practising an intermittent fasting lifestyle while eating a strict gluten free diet.  Carla is travelling again.  She did something surprising when one of the kids asked for a sweet treat, as well we chatted about how she approaches eating at get togethers.  Carla has the excuse of the gluten free diet, to turn foods down, but does the "I'm fasting" excuse seem easier?

As the pandemic has progressed, organizations have become more creative in adapting their annual events to still continue, but in a different format.  That is certainly the case with the Scotiabank Run being held in Toronto.  The CCA is heading up Team Celiac and inviting anyone across the country to Step Up for Team Celiac and participate in whatever way they can – choose a suitable distance, walk and run, challenge yourself with more than one distance, or run during the in-person event in Toronto.  Other cities host Scotiabank Runs and some of our celiac groups are very involved in the events in their own locations, but if you can't participate locally, or the Toronto run is your local run, head to the CCA website to sign up to Step Up for Team Celiac.  Julie and I also discussed the upcoming virtual CCA conference, which has a different format this year.  The first day is for the yet to be, or recently, diagnosed with the second day being for the those of us who have been diagnosed more than a couple of years.  The CCA is also asking for our help in formulating their proposal for labelling of some foods, including supplements that do not currently fall under the labelling regulations for food.  More information on these initiatives can be found on the CCA website – www.celiac.ca   You can learn more about many of the topics we discussed on the social media platforms for the CCA and the Events page of the website at – www.celiac.ca/news-events/events/   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 Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I chat with Tamie and Sara.  Tamie is back from her camping holiday and full into training for her half-marathon.  We have an interesting discussion about how gluten free pasta can't compare with wheat pasta for a pre-run meal.  Sara, who is back working nights is still experimenting with an eating schedule and is currently trying one big meal and one snack to both try and get her nutrition in as well as share a meal with her family.

A Conversation with Cinde Little On this episode I speak with Cinde Little, a guest I recently spoke with on the podcast regarding her virtual baking classes.  Cinde has released a comprehensive course for those new to gluten free, as well as those who are continuing to struggle with the gluten free lifestyle.  In Cinde's words –   “This is an introduction to my course called HEALTHY ME, a guide to take you from overwhelmed to confident in 30 days. The course is for you if you're new to the gluten free diet or still struggling to stay on it. Your lifestyle is as individual as you are so the course allows you to determine what is most important right now.

This week I speak with Carla who is travelling again with family and friends.  This time it's a longer trip to Vancouver.  We talk about how she handled eating on the plane, as well as preparing for restaurants in a new city, all while following an intermittent fasting lifestyle.

This week I chat with both Tamie and Sara.  Tamie is on a camping trip with her family and taking time to get in her running. Sara is currently working night shift and trying hard to spend some daylight time with her family.  Clearly working nights is not helping Sara establish any sort of exercise routine, whereas Tamie is able to prioritize her running during her holidays. We all have different pressures on us in combination with the gluten free diet.

I spoke with Lisa Rigney on Episode 180 of the podcast about what happens when a child gets diagnosed.  Realizing it actually becomes a diagnosis for the entire family, I asked Lisa back to talk about some of the resources she found and used after her daughter was diagnosed.  Recently, Lisa wrote an article for the newsletter of the Edmonton Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association listing the resources that she often recommends to families.  We look at her list and how she was able to benefit from becoming part of both local and virtual celiac communities.  Here is an extensive list of resources from Lisa's article.   Resources for parents of newly diagnosed children 2021 https://theceliacscene.com/canadian-celiac-association-growing-up-celiac-resource/ pdf This link provides you with information on how to help your child cope on the gluten free diet: https://www.celiacedmonton.ca/gluten-free-diet/helping-your-celiac-child-cope-with-the-gl uten-free-diet/ This is a great link covering a lot of topics including what questions to ask at restaurants, navigating birthday parties and how celiac disease affects a child at school: https://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/healthy-living/celiac-disease-and-your-child Check out this link for lots of useful information: http://fcrc.albertahealthservices.ca/health-information/library/information-prescriptions/cel iac/ This 6 page document from the AHS includes a list of foods to avoid and ones which are safe: https://www.albertahealthservices.ca/assets/info/nutrition/if-nfs-gluten-free-diet.pdf You will also find resources for teachers by clicking on this link: https://www.celiac.ca/living-gluten-free/children/ Click below for a fun article from Generation GF - Gluten free from A to Z article: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/2?ui=2&ik=239ea9609b&attid=0.1&permmsgid=msg-f:170 0303079945275889&th=1798b0a482a409f1&view=att&disp=inline Celiac Disease and important areas of nutrition to understand: Spotlight on fibre, folate, B12, calcium, Iron and Zinc. https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Spotlight-on-Fibre_final.pdf https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Increasing-your-Folate-Intake_final.pdf https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Increasing-your-B12-Intake-final.pdf https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/CCA-Calcium-Tip-Sheet.pdf https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/CCA-Iron-Tip-Sheet.pdf https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Zinc-Tip-Sheet.pdf To watch: The AHS Series: “Living with Celiac Disease - Celiac Disease - an overview” - module 1 https://youtu.be/Bul73e9maiY “Living with Celiac Disease - An introduction to gluten free foods” - module 2 https://youtu.be/WLj7Kv7vCJ8 Edmonton Chapter – Canadian Celiac Association www.Celiac.Edmonton.ab.ca Written by Lisa Rigney, Program Coordinator Published in the Edmonton Celiac Circular Summer Issue 2021 Resources for parents of newly diagnosed children 2021 “Living with Celiac Disease - living with the gluten free diet” - module 3 https://youtu.be/p19CyRP6VGw Suggested Webinars: The celiac team at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) in Toronto Canada has launched 4 new interactive e-learning modules for patients and their families which are housed on the AboutKidsHealth website within The Celiac Learning Hub.

This week Carla and I catch up. She has had success with her 800 calorie days, but realized she just couldn't keep it up with family holidays and summer events.  She is looking to getting back into an exercise routine, now that her injury is on the mend.  As well, she is challenged to plan restaurant choices for her upcoming family trip.  The good news is she's close to her weight goal!

I've spoken to both Tamie and Sara about their favourite gluten free foods for summer - now I'm quizzing them about salads.  Enjoying a salad certainly comes in handy when you are eating gluten free at a restaurant, as that is often the only option on offer.  Both Tamie and Sara have some interesting options that are new to me.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com Facebook – Gluten Free Weigh In Instagram - @glutenfreeweighin Email – GlutenFreeWeighIn@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – A Canadian Celiac Podcast - https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Canadian Celiac Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com  

On this episode I speak with food blogger and recipe developer Cinde Little, also known as The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet.  Over the past year, Cinde has pivoted her in-person baking and cooking classed to online classes, and this is where I spent an enjoyable evening this past week.  This may not seem like a big deal, but Cinde has worked to achieve a high quality of audio, video, timing and student experience.  She has two cameras on her, so we can see her in her kitchen, as well as a closeup of her work area.  I learned something in our class making biscuit-style cinnamon buns and it was nice to hear Cinde say she learns from her students in every class.  You can follow Cinde on Instagram at everyday.gf.gourmet.  As well, you can browse some of her recipes and sign up for a baking class on her website at www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I speak with Carla who has recently returned from a road trip with her family. She quickly remembered how the gluten free diet can be more work when travelling, but believes her intermittent fasting lifestyle makes meals out much easier.  I spoke about an app being released in beta over the next couple of months with information about meals in restaurants - you can sign up at get.honeycomb.ai/celiac/ Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com Facebook – Gluten Free Weigh In Instagram - @glutenfreeweighin Email – GlutenFreeWeighIn@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – A Canadian Celiac Podcast - https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Canadian Celiac Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com

On this episode I speak with Lisa Rigney of the Edmonton Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association about her family's experience of having a child diagnosed with celiac disease.  Lisa takes us through what happened, and more importantly, how the family coped.  We all understand a serious diagnosis is overwhelming, but I think by sharing our experiences, it lets us all realize that we can only do our best in trying times.  Lisa explains some of the situations she wasn't prepared for, as well as the discussions she had with other family members, friends and the school.  At the end of our conversation, we agreed to meet up again soon to talk about the support systems available to families of the newly diagnosed, and expectations as the child gets older.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I speak to both Sara and Tamie who both are excited to tell me about how they are accomplishing exercise goals.  Sara is sticking to her cycling despite her changing work schedule and Tamie took on an extreme running event, that seems way out most running workouts.

On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss the many topics and articles she brought to our attention over the past month.  To begin the conversation, I invited Tamir Barzilai from the company honeycomb.ai.  Tamir's company is developing an app which will allow you to set a profile with your dietary restrictions, and give you specific meal suggestions at restaurants to meet your needs.  The app will be released in late summer or early fall, and will charge for use on a monthly basis.  Tamir invited our listeners to sign up for the app prior to release at a cost of $14 (US) to own the app for life, without monthly charges.  There are other advantages to joining the beta testing for the app when it releases.  Tamir explains what makes this app with artificial intelligence different from other data based and often crowd sourced information apps.  You can sign up as an early adopter for the app at – https://get.honeycomb.ai/celiac/ Ellen and I go on to chat about three online medical resources that provide indepth information on celiac disease and other related gut health issues.  One of the resources compares celiac disease to IBS, a condition many of us have been diagnosed with. Ellen and I talk about a recent article on money saving strategies for the gluten free diet, and a study performing a new type of mass screening of children in Italy for celiac disease.  As well, Ellen talks about our unique ability to host visiting students who require a gluten free diet.

This week I talk with Carla about working out.  We both reminisce about when we were younger and able to work out without very soon injuring ourselves.  We've learned that celiac disease was often the culprit behind our bone/muscle weakness.  Nevertheless, as we get older, we can't exercise with our bodies, as well as we can imagine in our minds, and even though we are eating better and healthier, we (or at least Carla and I) are still prone to injury.  We each try and formulate a plan for going forward, so at least we see a way, and hopefully have the will.  Carla has discovered Brazillian cheese bread, and she can actually fit in her down days with intermittent fasting.

A Conversation with Desiree Nielsen and Ellen Bayens A plant-based diet has many formats and can go by many names including vegetarian and vegan.  On this episode I speak with Ellen Bayens about her recent pivot from gluten free to a plant-based gluten free diet.  Recently, Ellen introduced me to a fellow podcaster, Desiree Nielsen, who is also a registered dietitian.  This was a great opportunity to ask all the questions I've ever had about a plant-based diet and how it fits for someone who must adhere to a strict gluten free diet.  Ellen talks about how she decided to try a plant-based diet, how she started and how she's truly enjoying exploring new foods and flavours.  Desiree walks us through the simplicity of the diet and gives us some specific tips to keep plant-based gluten free.  You can listen to Desiree's podcast – The Allsorts Podcast wherever you listen to podcasts, or you can listen online at https://desireerd.com/podcast/.  You can also find more information about Desiree's book and her recipes at https://desireerd.com/.

This week, as the summer weather is settling in, both Sara and Tamie are well entrenched in their workout schedules, something that is  relatively new for Sara, and something that has a history for Tamie.  Hearing and talking about exercise is often uncomfortable for those of us who have some difficulties finding an exercise we can do safely and consistently.  Sara is facing another challenge with a changing work schedule, and Tamie, who loves physical challenges has set herself up with a substantial one.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com Facebook – Gluten Free Weigh In Instagram - @glutenfreeweighin Email – GlutenFreeWeighIn@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – A Canadian Celiac Podcast - https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Canadian Celiac Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com

There are many things that those of us on a gluten free diet must learn quickly once we receive our diagnosis.  For many of us the most challenging is how to prepare and safely eat a gluten free diet, while living in a household that eats gluten.  Carla and I discuss this common situation.  We offer different suggestions for day-to-day coping and highlight the idea that every family situation is different.  What might work for you and your family may not be workable for another.  The strictness of the diet is something we all have in common, as well as the frustration of educating our family members.  Both Carla and I agree that over time, as a family you will settle into routines that are work-able for your situation – family members begin to understand and accept, children get older and have a greater understanding, and the celiac family member gets better, which makes it all worthwhile.  Carla is a co-host on my other podcast “Gluten Free Weigh In” and she finds following an intermittent fasting lifestyle works for weight loss and makes her gluten free diet easier to cope with.  You can find Carla on Instagram @celiac_and_the_suburbs   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I catch up with Carla who is trying to settle into a healthful formula for her Up and Down days.  I have, on the other hand taken to counting calories (some might find this cringe worthy) and I like it!  Also I let Carla in on one of my favourite low cal treats - pappadums.  I use the Patak's brand, as well as  the Jeera Wafer - mostly these are found in the grocery store near the curry pastes and east indian foods.

On this episode I speak with Jon Murthy, Head of Global Marketing for BRCGS.  This is the organization that certifies foods for the CCA gluten free logo, as part of their many certification programs.  Originally, this operation was performed by a relatively small, but knowledgeable group in Canada, but moving this important function to a multi-national, multi-discipline certification body, brings an entirely new perspective to gluten free food safety.  Jon discusses the process a company must go through to achieve certification, as well as the complexities of companies producing and exporting ingredients and prepared foods to maintain their certification status.  This global perspective is a complicated concept, but BRCGS certainly seems up to the international challenge.

This week I speak to Sara and Tamie about some things they are working on changing.  Sara is sleeping better, something many of us strive for.  She takes us through some of the little changes she's made and how she's found cycling as a good solitary exercise.  Tamie is excited about summer, except that it throws her exercise schedule off at a time when we want to be active and outside.  She is trying to find her groove with timing her workouts to get more enjoyment out of them, while still leaving plenty of time with the family's summer activities.

It's the beginning of June and that means another informative conversation with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com.  This past month Ellen has brought us a great deal of information. We start out with a couple of studies, the first into attitudes among celiacs towards dating.  There is much hesitation, social anxiety and a tendency towards risky behaviour (gluten-wise).  Although Ellen and I are not in the target age group for this study, we can relate to many of the hesitancies from our own lives that are amplified in the dating scene.  The second study is an eye-opening look at the awareness of celiac disease in the dental profession.  Dr. Melissa Ing, whom I have interviewed for this podcast, surveyed a group of dental professionals before a celiac information session and then again after.  She was able to teach them a great deal in a short time regarding questions to be asked when certain symptoms are identified.  Ellen has once again brought us new resources, we didn't even know we needed.  Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto has come out with new teaching modules about celiac disease and the gluten free diet.  These modules are interactive and suitable for young children to do with parents, or for older kids to do on their own.  The information is set out in an easy to use format that would be useful to educate other family members and friends.  Ellen shows us a novel way to use the restaurant translation cards from celiactravel.com.  On a different level Honeycomb.ai brings us an artificial intelligence solution to finding just the right meal at just the right restaurant to meet your specialty diet needs.  Ellen introduces us to Desiree Neilsen RD, who has started a new podcast called The Allsorts Podcast, in which she gets down to earth with practical diet knowledge that will help us all make better food choices.  She is a proponent of a plant based diet, and that suits Ellen just fine. Two related topics are discussed – the 10 biggest challenges faced by the gluten free community, and how to order a gluten free meal at a restaurant.  There's lots of overlap here.  Finally Ellen tells us about a study that is being done for US patients on atopic dermatitis, and you can get paid to participate.  So much news, I think this is my longest interview episode yet.  Thanks Ellen.

This week I chat with Carla.  We are both using intermittent fasting to lose weight.  Carla recently listened to the audio book by Dr. Michael Mosely, The Fast 800.  She decided to incorporate some of those strategies into her weekly planning.  She was very successful.  On the other hand, I'm finding more that doesn't work for me.  Specifically trying a low calorie day on a stressful day.  Carla talks me through some ways I can switch things up, and I'm looking forward to applying them.  Also, I talk about someone I know who is on a positive weight loss path after getting dental appliances.  You can find out more about Dr. Mosely's book at - https://thefast800.com/ Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com Facebook – Gluten Free Weigh In Instagram - @glutenfreeweighin Email – GlutenFreeWeighIn@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – A Canadian Celiac Podcast - https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Canadian Celiac Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com

On this episode I catch up with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the Canadian Celiac Association.  Melissa, along with her small staff is handling the promotion of May, Celiac Awareness Month from a big picture, national perspective.  We chat about some of the initiatives that are being done to “Shine a Light” on celiac disease, by having iconic buildings and structures across the country lit up green during this month.  If you live near a “Shine the Light” event, please take a photo and post it with the hashtag #ShineALightOnCeliac.  We talk about the tag line, or slogan for this year – “It's Not Pretend”, how it was arrived at and who the target audience is.  Melissa is also able to share with us the participation that large and small companies as well as private sponsors are having during this month.  I was asked to make three recipe videos using Promise Bread products as a thank you to them for being a lead sponsor of Celiac Awareness Month.  The videos will be airing on the CCA's social media beginning on Sunday May 16th, Celiac Awareness Day.  Please watch and share – I really enjoyed making them (and you get to see me in my kitchen).  If you want to share other information about your celiac journey online, please use the hashtag #ItsNotPretend, to be part of the conversation.  There's lots going on at the national level to do with Celiac Awareness Month, as well, there are initiatives across the country on a smaller scale.  To get the information on those activities I will be talking with Julie Greene of the CCA for next week's episode.

A Conversation with Lukas Hahn This episode started from a discussion with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for the April roundup episode 166 when she told me the story of a student from abroad, studying in Victoria in a homestay program, who was having difficulty as she required a gluten free diet.  Ellen assisted in solving the problem, but it brought so many other questions to my mind about homestay and a special diet.  On this episode I speak with Lukas Hahn, Manager – Homestay Program, Greater Victoria School District, who helps organize both the students coming to study in Victoria, as well as the families they will stay with.  Lukas gives us a great perspective on the opportunities hosting a student gives a family and large community.  We discuss what a host family is required to do, some of the responsibilities and some of the perks.  We talk about the practical experiences of a foreign student on a gluten free diet, as well as how families who are already gluten free can be invaluable to the program. https://www.studyinvictoria.com/   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

A Conversation with Dr. Melissa Ing, Djenane Lemaire and Miranda Boynton Every once in a while, I hear from one of my previous guests on the podcast that they've done something that might be of interest to my listeners.  This was the case when Dr. Melissa Ing, who I spoke with on Episode 106 “Celiac Disease and Dental Education”, contacted me recently about research and a poster project a couple of her students had done.  On this episode, I speak with Dr. Ing, and two of her students Djenane Lemaire and Miranda Boynton about testing they did on common materials used in dental offices to determine if they contained gluten.  The testing included soaps and hand lotions, as well as materials that went directly into a patient's mouth.  The poster was very well received, being awarded second place in a large competition and being chosen for presentation at a major dental conference.  We talk about how dentistry can be a first line to diagnosis and how rewarding it was for the students to have their research project about gluten exposure in the dental office so widely received.

This week is a delightful and very informative conversation with Mike Rose.  Both Mike and his wife Shirley require a gluten free diet.  They were considering leaving their home to move to a retirement residence when Mike got to work researching and investigating the options available to them.  Mike was a tireless worker for the Canadian Celiac Association for many years and he brought all that knowledge to help him find just the right residence that would be able to provide a good healthy variety of gluten free options to the couple's meals.  Mike shares how his search went, has suggestions if you're going to be investigating retirement homes, and now that he is moved in is continuing to both educate and communicate with the chef, servers and management for all those who require a gluten free diet.

On this episode I speak with Tabitha who has an Instagram page called Gluten_Free_Canada.  The page caught my attention because it only had gluten free grocery store foods.  I reached out to Tabitha and was curious to see why she started the page, and what her best food finds were.  Tabitha has been diagnosed celiac for more than ten years and enjoys both grocery shopping and reading labels.  She makes sure to only feature foods she enjoys.  Reading labels is a skill that must be acquired over time and is particularly difficult for the newly diagnosed.  Tabitha features some foods on her page, which I didn't realize were gluten free.  I suppose we all get into a routine with our food choices and often don't take the time to look for new options.  Tabitha is now doing that for me.    You can find Tabitha's Instagram page at Gluten_Free_Canada.

This episode is a conversation with someone changing the landscape of not only gluten free snacking, but snacking in general by providing new healthy options in some unexpected flavours.  Julie Bednarski is a Registered Dietitian as well as a trained chef.  Her vision for healthy snacks has brought us an entire product line from the company she founded called Healthy Crunch.  Her goal to produce safe snacks that are not only gluten free, but top allergen free, means that Healthy Crunch needed to develop their own flavourings from real ingredients.  This may not sound special, but in the food industry it is most common to produce a product, then prepare it with a variety of different commercial flavourings to fill the product line.  Healthy Crunch uses read fruits, vegetables and other foods to create the natural flavourings for it's unique foods including seed butters, coconut chips, trail mixes and instant lattes, with certifications including gluten free, vegan, paleo, keto, kosher and school approved.  You can find Healthy Crunch online at https://healthycrunch.com   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

Let's start the blog with the show notes for this Episode – On this episode I speak with my daughter Deanna regarding a curious question she posed to me recently about some newly launched seltzer drinks appearing in the beer stores here in Ontario.  These drinks contain barley malt, so off limits to us.  The problem is the same drinks are in our LCBO (liquor stores) in Ontario, same branding, but with vodka or another alcohol and no barley malt.  This means that we should be able to drink the ones bought from the liquor store.  The problem boils down to the branding.  These two different drinks have the same name, the same branding and packaging.  The malt beverage says in very small letters on the packaging “malt beverage”.  Deanna and I discuss this problem and what issues we see it causing for those of us requiring a gluten free diet.  Is ordering a drink on a summer patio now going to add another layer of difficulty for us?   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

It's the beginning of March and time again to talk with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to delve into some of the studies and information she has brought us over the past month about celiac disease and the gluten free diet.  Ellen and I talk about a new non-invasive patch that might make diagnosis of celiac disease easier and might be a great tool where patients don't have access to sophisticated medical labs.  Also, there is a study Ellen has highlighted done in the UK looking at why the diagnosis of celiac disease is often missed or slowed and what steps could be taken to overcome these issues.  The necessity for a gluten challenge to diagnose those who have already started a gluten free diet has long been an issue for our community.  Ellen tells us that researchers are working on a test that might allow those already on a gluten free diet to still be properly diagnosed.  I was curious to learn from Ellen about one of the directions of research into Covid-19 that might have repercussions for celiac disease.  Long-haul Covid-19 patients are showing signs of an autoimmune reaction which the researchers find curious and may lead to more investigation into the triggers for autoimmune conditions including celiac disease.  Ellen and I always get around to talking about food and on this episode we discuss an article presented by Schar about wheat starch, which is common in Europe and not well understood in North America.

We've spoken before about some of the differences in the diagnosis of a child as opposed to an adult.  On this episode I speak with Lisa Rigney about how her daughter was diagnosed and some of the immediate changes it made to the family dynamic.  It's easy in hindsight to look back and see some symptoms in a child that were clearly missed as the family went about their daily lives.  Lisa has recently begun working with the Edmonton Chapter of the CCA and hopes her family's story will help others on the difficult journey of having a child diagnosed with celiac disease, when neither parent has been diagnosed.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

Diagnosis stories are always interesting.  Some are very short, some take longer, and some standout because of their complexity.  On this episode I speak with Dr. Jenny Jagers, who has a doctorate in medicine, but is not a medical doctor.  She was able to recount her time before diagnosis, as well as the varied symptoms that led to confusion and a negative test for celiac disease.  The real story though occurs after she receives her diagnosis.  Jenny is from a very large family and what she did next had a profound effect on so many others.  Jenny is now a volunteer with the Calgary Chapter of the CCA and it's very clear, she is going to continue to make an impact on the lives of so many going forward.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I'm thrilled to be speaking with Hayley Repton, producer of the short film – “Glutened”. The film is a fast-paced look at a young woman's rollercoaster journey after diagnosis; how her life changes and how she comes to terms with the many aspects of her new lifestyle.  Hayley let us in on some behind the scenes information, along with some of the rational for the many threads she pulls together to weave the story.  I admit to Hayley that I cried at the end of the film, and when I've re-watched it, my emotions are still so close to the surface.  This is an important film to watch, both for the diagnosed and those around them.  Hayley has crafted a story that pulls the viewer in and imparts an incredible amount of true-life information in 8 minutes.  Thank you, Hayley for this valuable contribution to our community.

Let's start the blog with the show notes for this Episode – It's early February and time again to welcome Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com back to the podcast to discuss some of the news and happenings she has brought us from the celiac and gluten free world.  Ellen and I talk about a couple of studies, one to do with universal testing of children for celiac disease and the other is a very small study looking at managing the gluten free diet.  We also chat about food blogs, and in particular one from Teresa of Gluten Free KOB, as a compliment to her online baking courses.  Gluten Free Oreos have hit the market in Canada which prompts a lively discussion following much controversy over social media regarding package labelling.  Recently, I received an email from a woman in England who produced a short film called “Glutened”.  It is a must-see for everyone with celiac disease, and for those around them.  I will be interviewing the producer for this podcast in the near future.  Listen for the interview and you can watch the film at https://vimeo.com/486284734 Study Urges Universal Screening for Celiac Disease in Children Managing a Gluten-Free Diet Affects All Levels of Society Introducing KOB Gluten-Free Baking Resource - FREE Printer-Friendly Recipes & Instructional Videos 'Glutened - The Film'!

This week I invited Mike and Cam from The Celiac Project Podcast: 2 Guys Talking Gluten Free to join me to tell their diagnosis stories and motivation for starting a podcast about celiac disease.  The most noticeable difference from my podcast to theirs is that Mike and Cam are men, and in my case, most of my celiac friends are woman, so hearing their stories and perspective was very interesting.  Mike started the podcast after producing the film “The Celiac Project”.  You can find out more about the film on his website – https://www.celiacproject.com/ You can listen to their podcast wherever you listen to podcasts or at https://celiacprojectpodcast.libsyn.com/   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This episode is one of my rare solo episodes.  I felt it was important to look back on 2020 and examine how the events of 2020 effected the topics covered and listenership of the podcast.  None of us could have predicted how the corona virus pandemic would change everything in our lives, or how long the upheaval would go on for. It was somewhat therapeutic for me to look back at all the topics covered and guests welcomed on the podcast.  I am able to mention some of the important shows, along with some of my favourite conversations, as well as how the episodes rated among my listeners.

I recently spoke with Dr. Jocelyn Silvester for Episode 149 of the podcast regarding the “Doggie Bag” Study which looked at the actual amounts of gluten that were contained in our seemingly gluten free diet.  Dr. Silvester has gone on to look at some of the everyday ways we handle our food to identify, then quantify the risks of contamination from gluten containing ingredients.  Her experiments included cooking gluten free pasta, sharing a knife with gluten foods, and using a toaster along with risks for children in the classroom.  The results of her studies are surprising and somewhat concerning.  The Canadian Celiac Association has looked at these findings and believes that more research needs to be done on this topic.  No one is ready to change the recommendations for handling gluten free foods to avoid contamination with gluten, but these studies do give us pause to think.  I was concerned about the interpretation of these results and decided to invite Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com onto the podcast to discuss how some of this information can relate to our day to day lives.  Ellen was able to help me put the study findings into perspective.    Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

It's December and that means the arrival of the Holiday Survival Guide from the The Canadian Celiac Association.  On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the CCA about the guide, including some special covid related content.  It's a year like no other, we will all have to be content with smaller gatherings, but that doesn't mean we can't make those times special with traditional baking and giving.  Covid has taken a toll on a significant portion of our population, which we must remember and assist at this difficult time.  One initiative of the CCA is a program to identify gluten free donations to foods banks, so they can be saved for those requiring gluten free.  This year is very different, and the CCA has given us lots of ways to make it special.  You can find the guide on the CCA website at www.celiac.ca.

On this episode we talk again about gluten free baking.  Specifically, we look at flour blends.  Almost everyone who has baked gluten free will agree that one flour – rice flour, almond flour, oat flour, none of them can stand alone and always need to be blended with another grain or starch to get the taste, texture and mouthfeel in the final ingredient.  Cinde Little, who online is known as the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has developed a guide to the different flours and suggestions for combinations to make a wide variety of baked goods.  I also talk with Saima from a new company called Breadables.  Saima has worked hard to develop a flour blend for roti, which is an Indian flatbread.  I know from some of my previous podcast guests, and my own investigation and trials, that roti made gluten free was an elusive thing.  Saima has solved this problem and is making her mix available for sale, currently by mail, and soon from their website.

Ellen Bayens is back with us for her monthly roundup of news from theceliacscene.com.  We chat about a new study released from the Mayo Clinic regarding giving children antibiotics under the age of two and if that puts them at a greater risk for other diseases and conditions as they get older – celiac disease figures into this study. Some good news – a recent study finds those with celiac disease are not at greater risk of contracting Covid-19.  This was very welcome news during this time of increasing cases. Ellen and I were pretty much both on the same page when it came to discussing the adoption of a gluten free diet by those without diagnosed celiac disease and now there is a study to dig deeper into this. We looked at some innovative gluten free products – of note – Gluten Free Oreo cookies, authentic rustic corn tortillas and emergency preparedness meals from two companies that offered gluten free options. Ellen brought to my attention two gluten free businesses who have uniquely pivoted during this time of covid – KOB with an online Christmas recipe Book and Wild Poppy Marketplace.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

It was a year and a half ago that I first heard about a new study, teased at a forum of high level business people and researchers put together by the Canadian Celiac Association.  Two doctors hinted at tidbits of their findings when they looked at the actual amount of gluten in a gluten free diet.  At that time, I spoke with Dr. Jocelyn Silvester, and she promised to speak again with me when the study had been properly submitted for publishing.  This episode is that long awaited conversation. Is there gluten in the gluten free diet?  The answer is yes.  But the research study, performed in Manitoba, was able to tell us so much more.  The study is referred to as the “Doggie Bag Study”, but it has a lengthy proper name – Determination of Gluten Grams Ingested and Excreted By Adults eating Gluten-free.   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

On this episode I speak with a very enthusiastic researcher, Dr. Diana Mager, who is also a Registered Dietitian. Dr. Mager is working on a project developing a food guide for young people diagnosed with celiac disease.  This resource would take into account the special requirements of growing children and youth on a gluten free diet.  After working with families facing the diagnosis of a child, and requests from the celiac community, Dr. Mager has put together a team, and funding to develop the resources families need to cope in switching a child to a gluten free diet.  As part of the process, Dr. Mager is asking for Canadian families with celiac children to fill in a survey to help them finalize their food guide. You can access the survey at https://conquer-studies.weebly.com/ You can email the research group at conqceli@ualberta.ca You can find Dr. Diana Mager on Twitter for more information @conquerstudies   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

On this episode I have the great pleasure to speak with Yvonne Baransky who is a Senior Product Developer at M&M Food Markets.  I was able to ask Yvonne about how the company decides on new gluten free offerings – seems she gets to do some taste testing!  As well, we talk able the mission to provide “real food for real life”, which includes a great many gluten free options.  Yvonne outlines the three-tiered approach to identifying a product as gluten free, and she is quite proud of the more than thirty products which carry the CCA gluten free certification.  I was impressed at the variety of foods and can see how these options can make a real difference for anyone who wants to eat well and must eat gluten free.  Thanks M&M Food Markets for taking the time and care to provide us with the great variety of real food to meet both our everyday as well as special occasion needs.

On this episode we meet Steven who reached his diagnosis of celiac disease in a very roundabout way.  After being diagnosed, his case was featured in a Reader's Digest article.  Steven tells us his story, along with how his diagnosis has affected his family.  I found out about Steven's story from his mother, who is a member of our local chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association.  She shared the article with me, and I was thrilled to put a name and a voice to the story.  Here's a link to the article - https://www.readersdigest.ca/health/conditions/medical-mystery-celiac-disease/   Sue's Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL Email – sue@suesglutenfreebaking.com Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com
