Ep 197 November 2021 Roundup

It's the beginning of the month, which means I have the pleasure of chatting with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com.  Here's some of the topics we covered –

There has been very positive feedback on the stickers and wristbands available through www.celiackidstuff.com.

The 200^th episode of the podcast is coming up, and we're turning the tables, so Ellen is asking me questions.  You can send your questions, or videos (we'll only use the audio) to [email protected].

We shine a light on a gluten free bakery in Winnipeg calls Cocoabeans.  They have recently released four mixes that you can easily make at home – there's even videos for any of you who might be baking novices.  Introducing Cocoabeans Gourmet Gluten-Free Mixes

The Canadian Celiac Association is hosting another great virtual conference this year on November 13^th and 14^th.  The 13^th (Saturday) is aimed towards those who have been diagnosed less than two years, whereas the program on the 14^th (Sunday) is more indepth for those who have been gluten free for more than two years (anyone can sign up for either).  The conference is free of charge, but you are asked to give a contribution towards costs if you can.

If you are new to gluten free, or need a refresher, Cinde Little, the Everyday Gluten Free Gourmet has a new course called Healthy Me focusing on managing a healthy gluten free lifestyle. Find out more at  New to Gluten Free?

Ellen talks about a food labelling study looking at accuracy regarding allergens Accuracy in Food Labelling a Concern for the Allergic and a study that looks at issues celiacs encounter while dating Celiacs Who Date Report Anxiety and Admit to Taking Risks When Dining Out

I mention a little bit about my new co-host on my other podcast Gluten Free Weigh In .  In early December I will be introducing a male co-host who has just been diagnosed with celiac disease and is involved in a program awaiting bariatric surgery.  His story will be so interesting.
