    January 2026 Roundup

    Hapy New Year! It's the beginning of January 2026 which means I can take the opportunity to speak again with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about news and information she has brought to our attention over the past month. Ellen speaks to us about a study done on children properly diagnosed with celiac disease who, after months on the gluten free diet and lower antibody numbers are still showing symptoms. The study may show a link between these symptoms and a condition called DGBI (Disorders of Gut-Brain Interaction). Ellen has informed us of the testing process of an app for our phones which is in development that will allow us to scan food labels and with the app using AI, it will determine if the food is gluten free or not. Both Ellen and I have praise and concerns about this one. I explain to Ellen the continuing process of the Celiac Canada petition to government to allow for a tax "break" to compensate for our increased food costs. Ellen reminds us of the updated Gluten Free Fast Food Listings on her website for both Canada and the US. As well, Ellen fills us in on her test of a new pizza available at Costco and other cooking she did over the holidays. If you have anything you'd like to hear Ellen and I discuss in our next conversation you can send me an email to acdnceliacpodcast@gmail.com or to Ellen at ellen@theceliacscene.com.

    Petition Update with Melissa

    On this podcast I speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada regarding the recent petition that was up for signatures. The time to sign has now closed and I was interested in how successful the CCA was in getting signatures a second time for this petition, and what the next steps are to push for the reality to make gluten free more affordable in Canada.

    December 2025 Roundup

    It's the beginning of December 2025 which means to me that I get to catchup with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about information she has brought to our attention over the past month. First, by December 6th, let me remind you about signing the e-Petition from Celiac Canada to request that the Federal Government consider a Gluten-Free Tax Credit. Here's a link to sign the digital e-Petition - https://www.celiac.ca/petition-high-cost-of-gluten-free-food/ Ellen and I also spoke about a Survey that is online from Conquer Studies through Dr. Diana Major and the University of Alberta regarding the cost of gluten free food for families. If you are an adult with celiac disease or the parent of a child with celiac disease, your opinion and experiences will help form a true picture of what Canadians are experiencing. We talked about the Gluten-Free marketplace that was held recently in Charlottetown, PEI. Ellen and I spoke about issues around AI and how that is affecting some recipe websites – the lesson here is to follow bloggers you know and trust. Both Ellen and I have been travelling over the past couple of months, and we chat about some of the gluten-free aspects of our adventures.

    Cinde's Adventures in a Gluten Free Kitchen

    On this episode I'm again speaking with Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet regarding a new way for those of us who want to cook and bake gluten free, whether it be for ourselves or for others. Cinde has organized a membership group to try recipes, communicate and learn together how to cook and bake gluten free. She hopes to take the anxiety of trying new recipes with lots of tips to help you understand how gluten free can be delicious for the whole family. Cinde is creating a welcoming community – something we can all use. Cinde also makes us aware of the negative effects of AI on the world of recipe bloggers. This is something to take note of as your time and money to make gluten free foods is valuable, so you want to be consulting trusted resources online. You can find out more from Cinde online at  everydayglutenfreegourmet and look into her membership community at everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca/adventures-in-a-gluten-free-kitchen/ You can also find Cinde on Facebook and Pinterest at Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet, and on Instagram at everyday.gf.gourmet.

    November 2025 Roundup

    It's the beginning of November 2025 and my opportunity to discuss news and information that has come out in the past month with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com. Ellen keeps us up to date on what's happening regarding celiac disease and gluten free. First, let me urge you to sign the petition Celiac Canada is putting forth to the federal government regarding the cost of gluten free food and how they can assist the celiac population. This is a re-issue of the petition from last year, as unfortunately it died when an election was called. Last time we received more than 26,000 signatures. Let's try for 30,000 this time. Please click the link and send it on to anyone else who you think is interested on our behalf. You can find out more and sign the petition at – https://www.celiac.ca/petition-high-cost-of-gluten-free-food/ Ellen and I spoke at length about some of the information that came from the recent International Celiac Conference in Finland. Melissa Secord from the CCA was part of a Canadian "team" attending who did a great job presenting and interacting with experts from all over the world. We touched on research regarding a promising advancement in testing for celiac disease by a simple blood test. We also speak about research to try and "turn-off" the celiac switch and learn more about that. We learn why some people who think they might be celiac, might instead need to be on a temporary FODMAP diet to reset their digestive system with the help of a dietician. Here are the links to theceliacscene.com that Ellen and I spoke about – Celiac Canada Report | 2025 International Celiac Disease Symposium in Finland New Blood Test for Celiac Disease Could Dispense with Biopsies & the Gluten Challenge Gastroenterologist Develops World-First Diagnostic bBlood Test for Celiac Disease California to Require Food Allergen Labels on Menus by 2026 Think You Are Gluten Intolerant?

    CCA Attends Conference in Finland

    On this podcast I take the opportunity to speak with Melissa Secord, Executive Director of Celiac Canada regarding her recent attendance as part of the Canadian "team" at an international Celiac Conference in Finland. First, let me remind you of the Step Up for Celiac fundraiser that is being held by Celiac Canada all across the country during the month of October. https://www.celiac.ca/get-involved/stepupforceliac/ Melissa and I spoke about the presentations made at the conference and about discussions held with support organizations in other countries and their shared issues. The team that attended from Canada made presentations and networked with some of the top world experts in Celiac Disease. You can find out more on Melissa's blog from the Conference. https://www.celiac.ca/celiac-symposium-finland/ Melissa mentioned that the petition to the Federal Government would be re-issued.

    October 2025 Roundup

    It's the beginning of October, so my chance to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month. As well, I take the opportunity to discuss something that's been on my mind for quite a while. Ellen and I speak about a recent CFIA recall and you can get the full information here – CFIA RECALL - Undeclared Wheat & Soy - Habibi Dubai Kunafa Pistachio Milk Chocolate We talk about a new product from M &M (I did try it - this one is amazing) – New!

We also spoke about Selena DeVries RD and the wealth of information she gives to us on a ongoing basis - SELENA RD, INSTAGRAM CORNER Advice I'd give my best friend if she were diagnosed Gluten free but still having gut issues What's been the worst gluten-free meal you been served at a restaurant? What's the most surprising place you've found hidden gluten? Can we eat products that contain"glucose syrup (wheat)." How do we explain that we cannot eat 'just a little bit of gluten?' Free!

    Selena DeVries RD Catchup

    Over this past summer I've been asked by different people if I know of a local dietician who is particularly knowledgeable about Celiac Disease. Unfortunately, I have to say I don't, but there is a great solution for us with Selena DeVries RD, as she has an online practice, can be paid by many healthcare plans and she herself is celiac. In our conversation, Selena explains how to deal with ongoing symptoms even if you've been symptom free for a long time. She explains how lactose issues as well as thyroid issues can develop as we age – something that was news to me. Selena also talks us through how, by having her online practice, she can work directly with your doctor. You can find valuable information by following Selena on Instagram at celiac_made_simple and you can find her website at selenard.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
