It’s the beginning of September, so my chance to chat with Ellen Bayens of theceliacscene.com about articles and studies she has brought to our attention over the past month.

During August, Ellen visited the Kinnikinnick storefront in Edmonton and the pictures she took of the amazing baked goods would make any celiac’s mouth water. My Visit to Kinnikinnick Foods' Store Front in Edmonton

Ellen published a study about teens with celiac disease and the link with body image and potential mental health issues – this is a must read for parents of celiac children. There is good news in that the teens who strictly adhered to the gluten free diet were less likely to have body image and anxiety issues. Body Image Dissatisfaction, Depression & Anxiety in Celiac Teens

The big news on the scientific front is a newly formulated “atlas” of the cells in the gut differentiate which cells are involved in the gluten reaction. This new discovery will aid researchers world-wide in targeting therapies and even a cure in the future. New Understanding | How the Small Intestine Reacts to Gluten in Celiac Patients

Ellen has updated her Fast Food Dining page for the US. This list takes you to the webpages of different fast food restaurants and what they say regarding gluten and allergens in their restaurants – an invaluable guide. UPDATED! Gluten-Free Guide to Fast Food Dining - USA
