🚨 Bonus Episode: My Brother Blake & I Chat About The Behind The Scenes Of Building Our Website & Why He's Now Gluten Free! A Gluten Free podcast

23:46

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 177 On this episode, I begin with a quick recap of last week's powerful chat with Professor Bob Anderson, where we explored the science behind coeliac disease and the complexities of its diagnosis and treatment. This week, I’m taking a more personal turn. I want to talk about something I know many of us carry: guilt . Whether you've been recently diagnosed or have been living gluten free for years, you may carry around the thought that your coeliac disease is your fault. I know I have and it's taken me a long time to shed that guilt. Admittedly, I'm still working on it! Is it something I did? Was it my genes? My lifestyle? My diet? Or the doctors who missed it? The truth is—coeliac disease is caused by a mixture of genetic and environmental factors that are completely out of our control . So let me say this clearly: 👉 It’s not your fault. Let go of that blame. You didn’t choose this disease, and you don’t have to carry the guilt that comes with it. If you’re still holding on to those feelings, just know that you’re not alone—and I’ll be offering more support for you very soon. Keep an eye on everything we’re doing at A Gluten Free Family . What We Cover: A quick recap of last week’s episode with Professor Bob Anderson Why it’s not your fault you have coeliac disease Letting go of blame—whether it’s toward yourself or others Connecting with where you're at on your gluten free journey Hints about upcoming support resources A teaser for next week’s episode featuring Iron Ramen Links & Resources: 🎧 Listen to the episode with Professor Bob Anderson 📬 Sign up to A Gluten Free Newsletter 📱 Follow us on Instagram 💬 Join our Facebook community Let’s Connect: Have you felt guilt around your diagnosis?

My Bone Density Scan Results: The Importance of Advocacy & Follow Up Care in Coeliac Disease 32:05

9 weeks тому32:05

32:05

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 169 In today’s episode of A Gluten Free Podcast , I share something personal in the hope that it might help you on your own coeliac and gluten free journey. I recently had a bone density scan, and the results showed that I have osteopenia. This was a screening I had to push for. It wasn’t something that was automatically suggested to me. If I hadn’t advocated for myself, I wouldn’t have known about this issue or had the chance to address it early. Coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition that affects much more than just digestion, and bone health is a big part of that. Many people with coeliac disease are at risk of low bone density due to years of malabsorption before diagnosis, yet routine follow-up care isn’t always offered. That’s why it’s so important to be proactive about your health. In this episode, I talk about: My experience getting a bone density scan – what led me to push for it and how I felt about the results. The link between coeliac disease and osteopenia/osteoporosis – why coeliac disease can put people at risk for weakened bones. The importance of follow-up care for coeliac disease – what health checks should be part of ongoing management. Why you need to be your own best advocate – because if you don’t speak up for your health, things can be missed. Follow-Up Care for Coeliac Disease Coeliac Australia provides clear guidelines on what follow-up care should look like for people with coeliac disease. This includes: Regular blood tests to check for nutrient deficiencies and coeliac antibodies A repeat gastroscopy (if needed) to check for intestinal healing Bone density scans for those at risk of osteoporosis or osteopenia Monitoring for other autoimmune conditions linked to coeliac disease Resources & Links Coeliac Australia’s follow-up care recommendations: https://coeliac.org.au/learn/ongoing-management/ More information on coeliac disease and bone health: https://coeliac.org.au/article/osteoporosis/ Join the Conversation Have you had a bone density scan? Were you offered one, or did you have to request it? I’d love to hear about your experience. Also, do you know a bone specialist who I could speak to on the podcast?

Improving Coeliac Disease Awareness, Diagnosis & Management Amongst Australian GPs with Dr. Nick Cooling 1:11:48

10 weeks тому1:11:48

1:11:48

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 168 In this episode of A Gluten Free Podcast , I sit down with Dr. Nick Cooling, a General Practitioner and the Chair of the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) Allergy Special Interest Group. Dr. Cooling brings a wealth of experience in healthcare and a deep understanding of how GPs diagnose and manage coeliac disease in Australia. We discuss the current awareness of coeliac disease among Australian GPs, the barriers to early diagnosis, and what can be done to improve education, awareness, and ongoing care for those living gluten-free. With diagnosis rates still alarmingly low, we explore what changes are needed to ensure more Australians receive timely and accurate diagnoses. We also discuss the ongoing management strategies needed for those with a diagnosis. Topics We Cover: ✅ Dr. Cooling’s experience in healthcare and his role at RACGP ✅ What it’s like working as a GP in Australia and the challenges they face ✅ The current state of coeliac disease diagnosis and awareness among GPs ✅ How RACGP is working to improve early detection rates for coeliac disease ✅ The training GPs receive on coeliac disease and the gluten-free diet—what’s working and what’s missing ✅ How GPs approach post-diagnosis treatment and long-term management of coeliac disease ✅ The biggest barriers preventing GPs from recognizing and diagnosing coeliac disease sooner ✅ What future initiatives RACGP is planning to support better coeliac disease care ✅ How we, as a community, can work together to improve diagnosis rates and post-diagnosis support Why This Episode Matters: With an estimated 80% of Australians with coeliac disease remaining undiagnosed, there’s an urgent need for better GP education and awareness. This episode highlights what steps are being taken and how you can play a role in advocating for improved diagnosis and care.

Coeliac Disease & Gluten Free Myths: 5 Biggest Misconceptions Debunked | Gluten Free Thoughts 34:22

11 weeks тому34:22

34:22

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 167 In this solo episode of A Gluten Free Podcast , I tackle five of the biggest myths surrounding coeliac disease and the gluten free diet. Despite growing awareness, there’s still a lot of misinformation out there that can make life harder for those with coeliac disease. Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or just curious about what it really means to live gluten free, this episode will help separate fact from fiction. My goal is to help educate, spread awareness, and make gluten free life a little easier—one chat at a time. What I Cover in This Episode: 🔹 Reflecting on last week's guest episode with Celiac Cruise Founder, Maureen Basye 🔹 Myth 1: Coeliac disease is an allergy or an intolerance A lot of people mistakenly think coeliac disease is a food allergy or intolerance. It's a chronic autoimmune disease. I’ll explain why it's different from an allergy or gluten sensitivity, and why it requires strict lifelong adherence to a gluten free diet. 🔹 Myth 2: You can have just one bite or a little bit of gluten every now and then Many people believe a small amount of gluten won’t do any harm. Even traces can cause damage to someone with coeliac disease. I’ll talk about the risks of cross-contamination, the importance of being strict with the gluten free diet, and why "just one bite" is never okay. 🔹 Myth 3: You grow out of coeliac disease Unlike some childhood allergies, coeliac disease is lifelong. I’ll dive into why this myth exists and what happens if someone with coeliac disease reintroduces gluten into their diet. 🔹 Myth 4: People with coeliac disease just have gut symptoms Coeliac disease isn’t just about digestive issues—it can impact the entire body. There's around 250-300 known symptoms - from brain fog, anaemia, skin conditions, osteoporosis to infertility and miscarriage. I’ll discuss some of the lesser-known symptoms and how they can affect everyday life. 🔹 Myth 5: Coeliac disease is just about going gluten-free While avoiding gluten is essential, managing coeliac disease is about way more than "just going gluten free". I’ll talk about the importance of follow-up care, mental and physical health impacts and how our lives change in a profound way one we are diagnosed with coeliac disease. 🔹 Teasing next week's guest Why This Matters: Misinformation about coeliac disease can lead to confusion, stigma, and even accidental gluten exposure. By debunking these myths, we can help create a more understanding and supportive gluten free community. Whether you're advocating for yourself, a loved one, or just looking to learn more, this episode is for you.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 165 If you have coeliac disease , you’ve likely experienced gut issues, bloating, fatigue, or discomfort even when following a strict gluten-free diet . But have you ever wondered— is gluten always to blame? Many people with coeliac disease assume every symptom they experience is due to gluten exposure . However, other factors such as IBS, food intolerances, FODMAPs, stress, and gut imbalances can cause similar reactions.

In today’s episode of Gluten Free Thoughts , I’ll dive into why gluten might not always be the culprit , share my personal story of living with both coeliac disease and IBS , and discuss how lifestyle factors like stress, mindfulness, and diet changes have transformed my gut health. If you’re struggling with persistent gut symptoms, unexplained bloating, or ongoing health issues even after going gluten-free , this episode will help you explore other potential causes and solutions . What I’ll cover: * Why it's important to slow down and be in touch with your own physical and mental health within this current fast-paced world * How meditation and yoga have been so positive in my own life * Recording and releasing sound bath with Annie & Justin last fortnight on the podcast * Reflecting on Kim Faulkner Hogg's episode, specifically in relation to other food intolerances and triggers * Thinking I was getting consistently glutened after my coeliac disease diagnosis * My own IBS and Low FODMAP story * Remembering gluten isn't always the source of symptoms * Areas I've been focussing on to improve my own physical and mental health recently * Teaser of next week's episode with Celiac Cruise founder Maureen Basye Links Listen to Dr Kim Faulkner Hogg episode Listen to sound bath with Annie & Justin episode Visit our website Join A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook Group Get in touch You can find me on Instagram @a.gffamily or send an email to aglutenfreefamily@gmail.com 📩 Disclaimer The content on this podcast is not a substitution for professional medical advice.

With hidden ingredients, confusing “may contain” statements , and changing food labelling laws , it’s hard to know what’s truly safe. Plus, even when you’re strictly gluten-free, you might still experience symptoms that feel like you’ve been glutened —but could something else be going on? In today’s episode of A Gluten Free Podcast , I sit down with Dr. Kim Faulkner Hogg , an experienced dietitian specialising in coeliac disease and food intolerances , to break it all down. With years of research into gluten ingestion , nutrient deficiencies , and the science behind gluten-free food labeling , Dr. Kim brings clarity to the challenges many of us face on a daily basis. If you've ever struggled with label reading , wondered about nutrients at risk on a gluten-free diet , or experienced mysterious gut symptoms that don’t seem to be gluten-related , this episode is packed with valuable insights! 🔎 What We Cover in This Episode: ✅ Dr. Kim’s journey in dietetics & why she specialises in coeliac disease ✅ Her research on small gluten ingestions & their impact on health ✅ How gluten-free food standards changed in the 1990s ✅ What PEAL ( Plain English Allergen Labelling ) means for gluten declarations ✅ Understanding "Contains gluten" vs. "May contain gluten" statements ✅ Highly processed foods with wheat —safe or not for coeliacs? ✅ The best label-reading strategies for coeliac disease ✅ Key nutrients at risk on a gluten-free diet & how to fix deficiencies ✅ How to get enough fibre & calcium while avoiding gluten ✅ Symptoms that feel like being glutened but might be something else ✅ Could preservatives in food & medication be causing gut issues? ✅ Resources to help you navigate gluten-free living with confidence 💡 Resources & Links: 🔗 Connect with Dr. Kim Faulkner Hogg: https://glutenfreenutrition.com.au/ Follow Dr Kim Faulkner Hogg on Instagram and Facebook 🔗 Learn more about PEAL & gluten-free food standards 🔗 Get my gluten-free living tips & exclusive content Coeliac Australia website Join A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook Group 🔔 Enjoyed This Episode? 💬 Share your thoughts in our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/aglutenfreepodcast/ ⭐ Leave a 5-star review to help more people find the podcast!

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 152 Change is inevitable. Change is hard. Change forces us to adopt new habits and ways of doing things. Change helps us grow. If anything is certain in life, it is that change will occur. It's really the only the only thing we can count on. Nothing stays the same. This couldn't be more true than in our coeliac and gluten free lives. We must come to terms with the fact that our lives change when we have a coeliac disease diagnosis or we go gluten free for another health reason. We will grieve our former lives before we went gluten free. We will miss how we used to be able to socialise, travel and leave the house without planning and preparing so much. Everything changes once we go gluten free. But, does that have to be a bad thing? Well, that's something I've been battling to answer in my own coeliac and gluten free journey lately. That's what we'll be chatting about on today's episode of Gluten Free Thoughts. What I'll cover: * Recap on last week's episode with Grace Canning, co-founder of Allergy Life Australia * Grace's acceptance of change and looking at her allergies as an inevitable change in her own life * My own change journey since being diagnosed with coeliac disease and my current frame of mind around change * Looking back on where I was before my coeliac disease diagnosis and my gratefulness around the change in my life of a diagnosis * How we can reframe change to be a positive * Teaser of next week's guest episode Links Sign up to our website!

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 147 I have something to admit to you gluten free fam: up until recently - I missed oats. I missed having porridge for breakfast. It was quick, easy & no mucking around. Unfortunately oats can’t be deemed gluten free in Australia - this may change soon so stay tuned.

My guest on today’s episode is Bask & Co. founder Janessa Rutter. We’ll talk about the inspiration behind the business, her delicious granola, porridge & granola bar ranges & what it’s actually like running a small gluten free business & finding purpose within the coeliac gluten free community. What we’ll cover: * What Bask & Co. is & Janessa’s mission with the business * Janessa’s own gluten free story * How Bask & Co. was created * Being a successful small business in the gluten free community * Bask & Co. ranges of gluten free granola, porridge & granola bars * Becoming Coeliac Australia endorsed & how that’s changed the business * Bask & Co. being involved in A Gluten Free Evening * Feedback so far from the gluten free community around Bask & Co. * Being stocked in Woolworths Metro & other news * Janessa’s current goals with Bask & Co.

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 138 On today's episode of Gluten Free Thoughts we'll be chatting gluten free maths gluten free fam! Don't worry... I hate maths & I'm not really good at it either so we'll keep it really simple - I promise! We'll only be talking about addition & subtraction in our coeliac & gluten free lives. So much is taken away from us when we're diagnosed with coeliac disease (obviously gluten is taken out of our lives). With gluten taken out we need to replace it with something, much like we do whenever we take something away from our lives - it needs to be replaced by something to fill its place & return our bodies to where they naturally want to exist: in homeostasis. What we'll cover : * My recent experience taking a course of antibiotics & using probiotics * How we can break down complex health conditions into what we can take away from our lives & add back in to help our bodies return to homeostasis * Reflecting on last week's episode with Sally Marchini * How having a coeliac disease diagnosis & going gluten free forces us to add in other things to counteract taking gluten out of our lives * Adding in positive experiences, nutrition & social * What I've added into my life since my coeliac disease diagnosis, going gluten free & becoming a parent * Teaser of next week's episode Links Join A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook Group Get in touch You can find me on Instagram @a.gffamily or send an email to aglutenfreefamily@gmail.com 📩 You can also find my regular column for The Gluten Free Living magazine under the title Gluten Free Family released quarterly for Coeliac Australia members.
