May News Round Up on ‘A Canadian Celiac Podcast’

“If you’ve never tried a podcast before, they are a great way to listen and learn while you are busy doing something else – cooking, hiking, driving or just relaxing. You choose!” Cinde Little, everydayglutenfreegourmet.ca

Listen to the Celiac Scene May Round Up!

It’s the beginning of the month, and that means we talk about the topics, studies and interesting articles regarding celiac disease and the gluten-free diet featured on theceliacscene.com. Sign up for Ellen’s monthly newsletter.

We talk about an article that tries to define the differences between food allergies, intolerances and sensitivities – it’s a big and somewhat confusing job. Easiest to note that Celiac is none of the above, but many of us have an allergy, intolerance or sensitivity in addition to celiac.

Have you ever wondered what xanthan gum is exactly? I had not, until Ellen raised the topic. You might be surprised at what you learn. Recently, Health Canada re-vamped their sign up for food and other recalls. Ellen gives us a summary of the changes and how the new process is so much easier.

Ellen highlights the Tuesday questions answered by Selena DeVries RD on Instagram. Her website is Healthbean Nutrition and you can find her Instagram @celiac_dietitian.

We talk about what makes the Honeycomb app unique. This is of special interest to those who have additional food allergies, or those who want to know exactly what to order at a particular restaurant to be safe.

Here are the links to the topics Ellen and Sue spoke about.
