A Canadian Celiac PodcastCruising Gluten Free I love to travel, and I love cruising. I am often asked about how to travel safely while eating gluten free - more often than not, my suggestion is to cruise. Deciding on a particular cruise does require a bit of research, and preparation, but in my experience cruising has been safe and exciting. My daughter Deanna recently came back from a cruise on a cruise line I was not familiar with. On this podcast she shares her experiences along with some practical advice on how to prepare and what to expect. On my blog I have included some...

Ellen and I have a discussion about bloating – something that was never really a symptom for me, but as a symptom it should be talked about more. Ellen tells us of the recent product recall from Cavendish Farms, along with details of the new non-gluten status of Earth’s Own oat beverage.

2022-03-301h 07A Canadian Celiac PodcastThe Gluten PerspectiveThis week I chat with someone who is almost a part of our family. My daughter Deanna’s boyfriend Adam has learned a great deal about celiac disease and the gluten free diet over the past few years. His perspective is from someone who has no eating restrictions. We often wonder how the rest of the world sees us, and how we can best help them to cope with our eating restrictions. Adam takes us through his education on celiac disease, what he expects when they eat away from home and, how he copes with educating his family and frien...

She has been a guest on the podcast in the past, and I take this opportunity to ask her about some of her attitudes and coping skills dealing with celiac disease and how those compare to my approaches. I was a Mom of two beautiful girls when I was diagnosed, with Deanna’s diagnosis coming five months later, just in time for her fifth birthday. Having suffered from an unknown cause for some very diverse symptoms for many years, my diagnosis became one of questioning every food, not only for me, b...

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...

2021-03-1032 minA Canadian Celiac PodcastTaxes & Celiac Disease in CanadaThis episode looks at how, in Canada, a celiac can make a claim on their taxes for the extra expense of gluten free food. The subject sounds simple enough, but as we find out, the Canada Revenue Agency has made the process laborious with very little positive effect on your tax return. For a professional perspective, I speak with my daughter, Deanna, who is an accountant and has worked with taxes for years.

2019-03-1319 minA Canadian Celiac PodcastEp 35 Growing Up Gluten FreeMy daughter, Deanna was diagnosed with Celiac disease just before her fifth birthday. She is now in her mid-twenties and seemingly well adjusted to the gluten free lifestyle. My interview is an attempt to look at growing up gluten free as a retrospective on how she viewed her life differently because of celiac disease and the gluten free diet. Portions of her story appeared in cookbooks by Donna Washburn and Heather Butt who appeared on Episode 8. I quickly pulled two of the cookbooks and found Deanna on Page 14 of “125 Gluten-Free Recipes” and on page 66 of “The Best Gluten-Free Family Cookbook”...
