These are not the best of times, as many of us are staying in our homes and taking whatever measures are suggested to fight the spread of COVID-19.  On this episode, I re-iterate the response of the CCA, as well as pass on some helpful tips from it’s President Treena Duncan.  I also examine my habit of hand washing.  It’s a shortened episode this week.  I’ll be back with more next week.  You can find more information and read the statement on the Canadian Celiac Association website at www.celiac.ca.

This week I chat with two individuals involved in planning an Celiac Kids Camp in Eastern Ontario.  Carmen Rupp-Eke of the Ottawa Chapter of the CCA, proposed the idea and Camp Davern near Maberly Ontario was up for the challenge.  Carmen fills us in on her motivation and how she believes the campers will benefit from this unique camp.  Derek from Camp Davern explains the camp programs, sports and facilities as well as how to register.  The camp runs in one or two week sessions from July 5th – 17th.  The website for the camp is campceliac.ca.

I’m back behind the mic again, after taking some time off for a trip and other family matters.  I’m happy to have the opportunity for my monthly conversation with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com.  The week we chat about gluten free alcohol, why also your doctor may have been frustrated by your symptoms, what exactly is a wheat allergy, and how it’s different from celiac disease.  Here are some links to the articles from theceliacscene.com – Which U.S. Alcoholic Beverages Are Safe For Celiacs?

I’m speaking this week with a very knowledgeable author who helps others who benefit from a gluten free diet, Susan Neal.  We take on the topic of converting a conventional kitchen to a gluten free kitchen, or at least a part of the kitchen to be gluten free. We look at the fridge, the pantry, cupboards, small appliances and family habits.  We also look at some of the must haves in your gluten free kitchen.  You can find Susan online at – http://susanuneal.com/ The blog post on setting up a gluten free kitchen can be found at - http://susanuneal.com/how-to-transition-to-a-gluten-free-kitchen This is the link to her closed Facebook group, 7 Steps to Get Off Sugar, Carbs, and Gluten, where she answers questions and provides support can be found at -  https://www.facebook.com/groups/184355458927013/ I have many different interviews scheduled for the first couple of months of 2020, and if there is anything you’d like me to cover, please email me at [email protected].

This week I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Melissa Ing D.M.D.  Melissa is Canadian, now working as an educator of Dental Medicine in Boston.  Recently, her focus has been on educating dental professionals about the relationship between celiac disease and oral health.  Melissa’s research of late has involved the materials and substances used in dental procedures and how suitable they are for someone on a strict gluten free diet. Melissa, would like all dental professionals to have the knowledge about the oral signs of celiac disease, so they can refer patients for CD testing, even before it may come to the attention of their GP.  Melissa has participated in educational videos, online webinars and sponsored presentations to raise awareness of CD among dental professionals.

This week I chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com for a roundup of news and views to begin January 2020.  We talk about the current and upcoming food trends in the gluten free marketplace, as well as a recently published study on the connection between celiac disease and psoriasis.  We cover the subject of body image from a male perspective and identify that females often find the diagnosis and GF diet isolating.  Bard’s Beer is different because of the malting process, which in this case is gluten free, and the My Healthy Gut App is offering a 7-day free trial.  Here’s some links from Ellen you might want to look up – Are You Gluten Free?

This week is another solo episode where I reflect on the top six things I’ve learned from my two years of producing the podcast.  I briefly look at my motivation for starting the podcast and I try and sum up many of the positive and sometimes challenging experiences I’ve had.  Celiac disease and the gluten free diet can be complex and effect different people in different ways.  I’ve tried to understand this over my two years, and I’ve been able to identify some things that were truly new to me.

This week I go solo with a show that takes a deep dive into Christmas baking.  When I operated a gluten free bakery, this was our busiest time of the year.  We had procedures in place to make a large amount of a variety of foods.  Once the bakery closed and I went on to produce two seasons of my gluten free baking show on our local cable channel, I first had to shrink the recipes down to home kitchen size.  You can find the recipes on my website at www.suesglutenfreebaking.com.  Most of the recipes are in shows 5 https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/christmas-5 and 6 https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com/christmas-6, which all have youtube video links to the show segments. I talk about kitchen tips to get and stay organized as well as recipes for cakes, cookies, squares and breads.  I also add in a favourite Christmas morning recipe. Stuffed French Toast 8-10 sturdy slices of gluten free bread, cubed 1 ½ - 2  8 oz pkgs of cream cheese, cubed Beat together – 12 eggs, 2 cups milk & 1/3 cup of maple syrup Place ½ of the bread cubes in an ungreased 9” x 13” baking pan, add the cubes of cream cheese, then top with the remaining bread.  Pour the liquid over the bread mixture, cover and refrigerate over night.  In the morning, bake at 375°for 45 minutes.  You can also add cinnamon nutmeg or raisins to the mix. This recipe was always a hit in our home on Christmas morning.  If you have questions regarding your Christmas baking, I’ll do my best to answer.  You can email me at [email protected].   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I have my monthly catch-up with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com.  Here’s the list of articles we chatted about. The first is an article Ellen wrote for the CCA with a straight shooting approach to the holidays and owning the diet. How to Handle the Holidays Next is a Facebook share that triggered a huge response and 100 ‘shares’ and counting. 11 Things People With Celiac Disease Do That Seem 'High Maintenance,' but Actually Aren’t  We also looked at the following studies - Study Suggests Gluten-Free Diet Does Not Help Autistic Children Atopic Dermatitis and Celiac Disease – Are They Connected?

I like pretty pictures of food and have noticed the trend to “food bowls”.  They are usually presented very artistically, and have caught my interest.  On this episode I speak with Cinde, The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet about what a food bowl is, and how does the trend work with our gluten free diets. You can find Cinde’s blog at https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca Twitter - @LittleCinde Instagram – everyday.gf.gourmet.ca Facebook – Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet Here are a few bowl ideas Cinde along to get your creative juices flowing:   Middle Eastern Inspired Bowl – Start with cooked rice and lentils, add roasted onion, zucchini and/or eggplant. Top with raw tomato and red peppers, maybe some feta cheese and this recipe for Falafel Balls with Tahini Sauce. Thin the tahini sauce with water if desired and drizzle over the bowl. Enjoy! https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/falafel-balls-tahini-sauce/   Vietnamese Rice Noodle Bowl – This one starts with rice vermicelli, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, fresh herbs and chopped peanuts. The recipe includes a lemongrass marinade that can be used on chicken, shrimp or pork. At the table pour the Nuoc Cham Dipping Sauce over your bowl and enjoy. https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/gluten-free-vietnamese-rice-noodle-bowl/   Greek Inspired Bowl – Try this one with cooked brown rice or quinoa. Make a composed version of this Greek Summer Salad then complete the bowl with fresh spinach, and maybe some roasted carrots, butternut squash or eggplant. The vinaigrette dressing from the salad can be served on the side so it flavours the rice too. https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/gluten-free-greek-summer-salad/   For a weekend treat or brunch with friends try this indulgent Breakfast Power Bowl – It has cooked quinoa with bacon, sweet potatoes, raw spinach, avocado and cherry tomatoes all drizzled with a blender hollandaise. https://www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/fw-recipe-slug/breakfast-power-bowl/   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week is my 100th episode of the podcast.  My first episode was a discussion with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of The Canadian Celiac Association.  I thought it was appropriate to devote this special episode to bringing you up to date with the CCA and what we can expect going forward.  I also chat with CCA President, Treena Duncan for an exciting announcement regarding the future of the CCA.  You can find The Canadian Celiac Association online at www.celiac.ca Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

I like a good story, and this week we have one – A Mom, looking for a way to enhance her autistic son’s development tried him on a gluten free diet.  Not only did she notice a positive difference for her son, but it led her to start a gluten free food company.  Autistic children often have very specific taste and mouth-feel preferences in foods.  Keri’s son loved perogies, but on a gluten free diet, they were almost impossible to find.  After much trial and error, Keri developed a recipe and method for making gluten free perogies commercially.  The company, located in Lacombe, Alberta – Stella’s Perogies now produces 15,000 perogies a day!  You can find out more at www.stellasperogies.com Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

I have recently returned from a very enjoyable cruise with extended family members.  Cruising with celiac disease is often approached cautiously, but with the right preparation, can be safe, relaxing and exciting.  This week I chat with Nick Medeiros, a fellow celiac and travel agent from California who has set up a Facebook page “Cruising with Celiac”.  This group fields questions and actively discusses different cruise ships and cruise lines and their suitability for someone on a strict gluten free diet.  Nick and I discuss many of the dining options on different ships, what you should know, before you book and what questions you should ask.  You can find the Facebook group at – https://business.facebook.com/groups/288031834953238/?ref=nf_target&fref=nf You can reach Nick at NJM Travel at (925) 699-6103.

This week I chat with a past guest, Lisa, about her experiences with workplace harassment because she must eat gluten free.  This may or may not be something you know about first hand, but just hearing Lisa’s experiences makes one think about how those of us on a special diet are perceived by our co-workers.

This week I have an enlightening conversation with Mona who is celiac and a Muslim Canadian.  Mona tells us some of the particular issues with a diagnosis and the gluten free diet for someone from an Egyptian heritage.  Mona has made efforts to help immigrants with language issues who need help as new celiacs to Canada. She has also worked with the Canadian Celiac Association.  You can find the short video she was in for the CCA at the following link - Mona's Story - The Many Faces of Celiac Disease Mona has set up a Facebook Group to communicate with the celiac Arabic community.  You can find the Facebook group with the following link - http://bit.ly/MonasCeliacFBgroup It will appear with Arabic letters next to these English letters.

This week was the continuation of a discussion on the FODMAP diet.  I speak with Steven J. Singer who started a food company called Fody Foods to provide foods that fit into the FODMAP diet.  Ketchup made without garlic, isn’t something that occurs to me, but I can appreciate that if garlic causes you stomach issues, this could be very special. Steven had been an owner of Glutino Foods, before starting Fody Foods.  He is strongly rooted in gluten free and brings that wealth of knowledge to his FODMAP friendly foods.  You can find out more about this unique food company at www.fodyfoods.com.   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

I speak this week with Kate Scarlata RDN, MPH, FODMAP & IBS expert about the FODMAP diet.  We explore what the diet is, and how it relates to both celiac disease, gluten intolerance and IBS.  The diet aims to resolve lingering digestive issues not completely solved by the gluten free diet.  It goes without saying that if you’re celiac or gluten intolerant, you must avoid gluten, but for you individually are there other foods that may be causing discomfort and should be avoided?  We look at the origins of the diet, and how it has helped many people to identify specific food issues.  Kate has authored many books, but her recent book “The Low-FODMAP Diet Step-by-Step” is a comprehensive resource for using the diet to resolve some ongoing digestive issues.

This week have the immense pleasure of speakers to campers who attended two celiac kids’ camps, one in Kelowna BC and the other the Rod McDaniel Celiac Kids Camp outside of Calgary.  The kids were very animated about their camp experience and got very excited when we chatted about food and the friendships they have made.  My thanks to Selena DeVries RD, who organized the Kelowna Camp and you find her website at www.healthbean.ca, as well Cheryl Richmond, who organized the Calgary camp and Cinde Little who helped with the camp, and setting up the interviews with the campers.

This week I have a very personal conversation with Erin, a gluten free blogger about her struggles with mental illness.  We often talk about the roller coaster of emotions after a diagnosis and starting a gluten free diet, but Erin’s experiences became more life-altering.  Anxiety and Depression became a way of life, with celiac disease and the gluten free diet always playing a part.  Erin gives some great coping advice that we can all use, regardless of how much we are swayed by our emotions and state of being.  You can find Erin online at glitzandgf.com, on Instagram at glitzandgf and on Facebook at Glitz & Gluten Free  Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

This week I set out to get some answers about plant based burgers.  They seem to be everywhere, but I didn’t know anything about them.  I called on Registered Dietitian Selena DeVries for help.  Selena has been on past podcast episodes, and she does a great job breaking down the nutrition and ingredients in the new plant based burgers.  I took it upon myself to try one on the barbeque at home, to get my reaction as well as those of my husband and daughter.  Listen after the interview with Selena to hear my opinion about cooking up one of these burgers at home and trying it for the first time.

This week is all about summer eating.  I chat with Cinde Little of The Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet about what makes summer eating different from other times of the year.  Cinde has lots of great time-saving and tasty ideas to spruce up our barbeque meals, as well as the new trends in salads. We talk about some of the ingredients in marinades that may contain gluten, as well as some products that might make grilling a safe gluten free meal easier. You can find Cinde at www.everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca Cinde sent along many links to the recipes and products we talked about.  You can find those on my blog page - www.acanadianceliacblog.com   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

The State of Celiac Event held by the Canadian Celiac Association in May was a valuable opportunity for researchers, food producers, physicians and dieticians to present their work to each other, network, and advance the interests of those with celiac disease.  I am pleased to be speaking with one of the presenters on this episode – Dr. Daniel Leffler of Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Medical Director leading up the Celiac Disease Program at Takeda Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Leffler spoke with me about the different streams of current research.  We talked about the practicality of the different treatments and cures being investigated, as well as the impact on quality of life for celiac patients.  Our discussion highlighted the diverse approaches being taken to find a cure, as well as comparing celiac with other conditions, and what makes this a particularly challenging disease to overcome. I was left with a real sense of hope that doctors and researchers are pursuing different strategies to find a cure, and improve our quality of life.  The gluten free diet is an imperfect treatment, and it’s comforting to realize that the medical/research community is looking beyond the gluten free diet for a cure.   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com  

On this episode of the podcast I speak with the Event Planning & Coordinator for the Calgary Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association, Cheryl Richmond.  The Calgary Chapter has been holding a gluten free breakfast as part of Calgary Stampede celebrations for more than 20 years.  The breakfast has grown and so have their community sponsors and relationships.  This year they served up 564 breakfasts of pancakes and sausage.  Their primary sponsors were, Kinnikinnick Foods (pancake mix), Spolumbo’s Fine Foods & Deli (sausages), Judy G Foods (promotional pizza coupons) and Shine FM providing a Kid’s Fun Zone.  With more than 150 breakfasts going on in the city during the Stampede, it takes many months working with the Stampede Committee to get all the details just right.  The Calgary Stampede Promotions Committee was able to help out by providing – The Batter Boys with a Cook Wagon, Western Welcome & Branding, a Roper (to lasso customers!) and Harry the Horse.  Sounds like great food and good fun!   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

On Episode 76 of the podcast, I spoke with Kristen Kneff from ImmunsanT about the presentation she gave at The State of Celiac event held in May by the Canadian Celiac Association.  Kristen’s presentation, and our subsequent interview looked at the Phase 2 trial for Nexvax2, a vaccine to minimize the effects of gluten on those with celiac disease.  Recently, the trial was halted, as the vaccine was not performing as expected. Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com brought this to my attention in an article looking at both the press release from ImmunsanT and a position piece from Dr. Peter Green.  On this episode of the podcast, Ellen and I speak about what this news means for the research community as well as the impact on the celiac community.

On this episode I have a fun discussion with Jessica Danford, known online as GFreeWifey.  I have spoken to Jess before about her efforts to assist foodbanks to supply gluten free food.  You can find that topic in Episode 48 of the podcast.  Jess has taken on a new project to produce a community cookbook and sell it to help raise funds for her efforts with foodbanks to provide safe food for all.  You can find Jess online at GFreeWifey.com, where you can find a link for the book.  Otherwise you can order the book either in hard copy, or digitally at Blurb.ca by typing in Jess Danford in the search at the top right of the homepage.  Thanks Jess for allowing me to contribute to the cookbook and I will now get working on providing the nutritional information for the recipes which she will share on the facebook page for the cookbook.

This episode is a compilation of short interviews from my time at the Gluten Free Garage in Toronto in May.  I attended last year, and this year The Canadian Celiac Association was supporting the event.   I met up with some individuals I had interviewed for previous podcasts, as well, I asked the attendees to answer some questions for me.  I have edited the recordings so you can hear the different answers collectively.

This week I speak with Samantha who is of Polish Heritage.  She is Canadian of Polish decent and has spent some time living in Poland.  We chat about traditional Polish foods and how they fit or don’t fit into a gluten free diet.  We also talk about family celebrations and how relatives in Poland would view her special diet. Here’s the recipe she sent for her Lemon Poppyseed Cake – Lemon Poppyseed Cake 1/3 cup poppyseeds 3/4 cup milk 1/2 cup butter 1 tbs lemon zest (or 1 tbs lemon oil/extract) 3/4 cup sugar 3 eggs 2 cup gluten-free flour blend 1 tsp guar gum 1 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/2 cup lemon juice Preheat the over to 325F. Place the poppyseeds and milk together in a bowl and set aside. Beat the sugar and butter together until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each one. Mix in the lemon zest or oil. In another bowl combine the dry ingredients. Add the dry ingredients to the butter alternating with the milk and juice (mix milk and juice together first), making three dry additions and two wet. Stir the mixture well after each addition. Pour batter into a bundt pan and bake for 30-40 mins, until a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before removing from pan.  If you'd like, whisk warm water, lemon juice and icing sugar together for a glaze to top the cake. Pour over the cake while it's still in the pan. Orange zest and juice can replace the lemon if you aren't a lemon fan. Dairy-free milk and butter can be used instead, but the cake will not brown. You can bake this in an 8" round cake pan (50-60 mins), but I found it best in baked in a bundt pan (30-40 mins).

On this episode I chat with Mike Marshall, Chief Operating Officer at Only Oats.  Most of us are familiar with the bright blue 1kg bags of oats - rolled, quick, steel cut and flour.  Only Oats was a major sponsor of the State of Celiac events held by the Canadian Celiac Association in Toronto in May, Celiac Awareness Month.  Mike tells us why Only Oats is no longer Avena Foods, what has changed in the company and what has stayed the same.  He gives us a lesson on how Only Oats is using Purity Protocol to maintain a celiac safe product.  Mike also tells us of new stores currently, and soon to be, stocking Only Oats.  As well, he teases us with a few new products in the works using the trusted oat source.  For more on my personal story with oats, check out my blog at www.acanadianceliacblog.com You can find the Only Oats website at www.myonlyoats.com Instagram and Facebook at @onlyoats Twitter at realonlyoats   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

It’s always exciting for me to be invited to an event like the Live the Smart Way Expo in Ottawa in May.  I had interviewed Kathy Smart, the event’s organizer in Episode 55 of the podcast.  Kathy is a popular speaker and talk show guest who can speak about living well and eating healthy on a gluten free diet.  At the event, I asked attendees some questions about celiac disease and living with a gluten free diet, as well I spoke with three food producers that caught my interest and Kathy Smart herself.  Kathy has a very large following in the Ottawa area, and many of the attendees came just to meet and listen to her.  It was a very uplifting weekend, and I hope some of that comes across in the series of short interviews that make up this podcast.

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”.   The CCA hosted a conference on The State of Celiac bringing together researchers, doctors, dietitians, food producers, influencers and others who had a stake in the future of celiac disease and the gluten free diet.  I was fortunate to attend this event and was able to have short interviews with some of the speakers and attendees.  During this last week of Celiac Awareness Month, the podcast will consist of five interviews each highlighting one of the speakers and topics that I found of interest.  I work with the CCA all year, but it was a special privilege to be invited to their events in Toronto.  It was a busy weekend, with The State of Celiac Leadership Forum, the fundraiser for research, administrative meetings and my appearance at the Gluten Free Garage to meet with lots of other celiacs and those on a gluten free diet.  It takes a great deal of effort to put on these events and it also takes a great deal of foresight to see how all this work will benefit the CCA in it’s planning for the future.  On this final episode for Celiac Awareness Month, I speak with Mark Johnson, who was instrumental in planning the forum and fundraiser, as well as Treena Duncan, President of the CCA for her views on how these meetings will contribute to the CCA going forward.

Dr. Rashid gives us a comprehensive overview of many of the non-gut-related symptoms that patients present with prior to a diagnosis of celiac disease.  We also have a discussion regarding other conditions associated with celiac disease.  Both the symptom and associated conditions lists are long, giving way to the current length of time for diagnosis. You can find out more on the CCA website at www.celiac.ca.

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”.  On this episode I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of the CCA regarding their campaign during Celiac Awareness Month, along with new resources they are making available this month.  Melissa also fills us in on a ground-breaking event taking place in Toronto later in May called “The State of Celiac Disease in Canada Leadership Forum”, during which experts, business people, government representatives and others who have an interest in Celiac Disease will come together to talk, learn and network.  You can find out more on the CCA website at www.celiac.ca. The second half of the podcast is a charming interview with Tom Doyle of Promise Gluten Free from Ireland.  Tom talks to us about the care taken to develop and prepare their baked goods, and why Canada was a logical market for them.  Here’s a link for more information - www.promiseglutenfree.com/   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of “Beyond the Gut”, a look at the less common symptoms leading to a diagnosis of celiac disease.  This week I speak with Dr. David Stevenson, President of the Ontario Dental Association. We discuss some abnormal dental issues that may be a direct cause of undetected celiac disease.  We also chat about how a diagnosis can change the way your dental professional structures your care.  Surprisingly, we also highlight the importance of sharing a full medical history with your dentist, even though you don’t think it has anything to do with your teeth. The CCA has an informative document on the link between dental health and screening for celiac disease.  You can find that at https://www.celiac.ca/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/CD_Dental.pdf   Sue’s Websites and Social Media – Podcast https://acanadianceliacpodcast.libsyn.com Podcast Blog – https://www.acanadianceliacblog.com Facebook - @acanadianceliacpodcast Twitter – CeliacPodcastCA Email – [email protected] Baking Website – https://www.suesglutenfreebaking.com Instagram - @suesgfbaking YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUVGfpD4eJwwSc_YjkGagza06yYe3ApzL      (search Sues Gluten Free Baking) Email – [email protected] Other Podcast – Gluten Free Weigh In – https://glutenfreeweighin.libsyn.com

  I was intrigued to speak with Dr. Herbert Brill of William Osler Health System regarding the study he did with other health care professionals on the efficacy of the DGP blood test with children referred for further consultation in screening for celiac disease.  The study focussed on children with a negative TTG test and a positive DGP test.  The study concluded the test was not useful in screening children for celiac disease in the general population.  You can find an article about the study on the William Osler Health System website or at the following link – http://bit.ly/DGPTestStudy This study was brought to my attention by a post from Ellen Bayens of The Celiac Scene.  You can subscribe to her newsletter at www.theceliacscene.com.  Thanks Ellen!
