April 2026 – A Canadian Celiac Blog

Blog Post for Ep #355 Melissa and Caleigh Podcast

The big news is out. I am transferring my podcast over to Celiac Canada. I’m thrilled to be speaking to Melissa Secord, CCA Executive Director and Caleigh McAuley, RD with CCA about future plans for the podcast as well as plans for Celiac Awareness Month in May.

Melissa let us in some of the ideas and plans the CCA has for the podcast which will begin with Episode 357. I’ve got one more episode to record with Ellen Bayens for the beginning of May.

With Melissa and Caleigh sharing the hosting duties for the conversations, there are so many opportunities that the CCA can bring to the podcast. They have appointed Leah Vlasic as podcast producer, and I’m happy to help in any way I can.

Stay tuned for a different perspective and some amazing conversations.

It’s the beginning of April and that means I have the opportunity to speak with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com to discuss the articles she has brought to our attention over the past month.

Ellen and I discuss a recent study that looks at how patients with celiac disease interact with their health care professionals. This is, of course dependent on the particular health care professional, but the study found that often celiac patients felt that their doctor was treating them with less respect as if they weren’t very smart.

Ellen reminded us of the Conquer Study that you can still fill out. The study is looking at the experience of celiac adults as well as parents of celiac children. You can fill out the study at –

There has been a food recall for spice blends that Ellen brought to our attention. As well she told us about B Free products apparently being trialed in some Costco stores. The Fuller Bar, which was developed to be suitable for diabetics and is gluten free is available in some parts of BC and can be ordered online.
