Ep 229 Enhancing Food Choices for Celiac Kids

A Canadian Celiac Podcast

As a follow-up to Episode 148 I speak again with Dr. Diana Mager from the University of Alberta as she and her team have formulated a gluten free food guide for children that more meets their specific needs. Currently they are recruiting families of newly diagnosed children (less than one year, and between the ages of 5 and 18) to participate in a study to look at the effects of the enhanced food guide. Participants will be given one-on-one education and other resources regarding the nutritional needs of children with celiac disease and how those needs differ from the general population. Here’s the link to find out more - https://conquer-studies.weebly.com/

As well, Dr. Mager’s group is also conducting a study to gather family friendly recipes which will make up one of the resources to accompany the food guide. If you have a recipe that might be suitable, you are asked to open the link and complete the survey. You can find the link at redcap.link/GFcookbook. You can also contact Dr. Mager directly at [e-mail].

You will hear Dr. Mager mention the Conquer studies. Conquer stands for – Celiac disease Outcomes in Nutrition, Quality of life, and Emerging Research.

You can follow the Conquer team on Instagram @conquer_celiac and on twitter @conquerstudies.
