Ep 356 May 2026 Plus Podcast Memories
Episode 356
Wednesday, 29 April, 2026
This is my last podcast episode, Celiac Canada will be steering the ship from now on as I transfer the podcast to them. An exciting time for me as I know that Celiac Canada will be able to do amazing things when they take over. This podcast has two parts: first, I speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles she has brought to our attention over the past month, and; second Ellen and Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet discuss some thoughts and memories about the podcast over the years. My first episode was a conversation with Melissa Secord in January, 2018 and I'm finishing off with Episode 356 – lots of fun times! Ellen and I talk about the CFIA recall of Gino Bambino Pizza Starter Kits from Costco due to mould (very unfortunate). We look at the evolving pathway to Diagnosis for adults in Italy where they seem to be ahead of the curve on this one. Ellen brings to our attention a study that was done regarding differing symptoms experienced by different ethnicities and races – something to think about. Dietary fibre is something we all know we need more of, but work being done at McMaster University with a helpful grant from the CCA's J.A. Campbell Fund, is finding that fibre may not be digested the same way in someone with celiac disease. They're also working on a specific gut bacteria which might make a real difference. Ellen talks to us about an in-depth study on what can go wrong in a diagnosis or misdiagnosis, and the importance of the medical community understanding those weak points in the pathway, in order to arrive at an accurate diagnosis sooner. Recently, California passed legislation that requires food producers who make masa (which is used in corn tortillas among other things), to fortify their masa flour with folic acid, an essential nutrient. Lack of this nutrient is a cause for some serious birth defects which are more prevalent in the Latino population. Wheat flour has been fortified for many years, but our gluten free flours are not – this could be a big step. CELIAC SCENE NEWS CFIA Recall - Gino Bambino Pizza Starter Kits Celiac Disease Diagnosis in Adults Now Possible Without Biopsy Celiac Disease Symptoms Vary by Race and Ethnicity Celiacs Aren't Benefitting from Increased Dietary Fibre Bridging the Gaps in Celiac Disease Diagnosis California Mandate Makes a Case for Fortification of Canadian Gluten-Free Products After Ellen and I spoke about the "news", we brought Cinde Little everydayglutenfreegourmet.com into the conversation to reminisce about the years of podcasts. We share stories and inside jokes. I'm grateful that my friends took the time to share these special moments with me. I will miss doing the podcast, but I'm confident that Celiac Canada will be able to take it to new heights.
