Ep 39 Celiac Research
Let’s start the blog with the Show Notes for this episode:
The Canadian Celiac Association funds research into celiac disease through the Dr. J.A. Campbell Research Fund. This week I speak to Melissa Secord about the process of awarding grants as well as speaking with one recent recipient. James King is working on research to look at the many studies that have been done worldwide on the prevalence of celiac disease. His work will amalgamate the data to look at the diagnosis of celiac disease worldw
ide and what can be learned from the results. Further, James is studying a large group of celiacs in Alberta to identify the impact of diagnosis on the healthcare system both currently and in the future.

My Thoughts –
Being a member of the Canadian Celiac Association is being a part of something much bigger. When it comes to labelling laws, the CCA is able to speak for us. When it comes to certifying gluten free foods, the CCA symbol is our highest standard. When it comes to doctor vetted information that we can all rely on, the Professional Advisory Committee is producing it. When it comes to the future of celiac disease, the CCA is right there standing just in front of all of us.
The future is such an unknown. Maybe there will be a cure. Maybe there will be a treatment. Maybe there will be a way to reverse the condition. Maybe there will be a way to stop it from starting. These maybe’s are the stuff of scientific research – Today!
I’m proud to be part of the tomorrow of celiac disease. I couldn’t fund research on my own. I couldn’t even get enough people or businesses together to come up with a plan. I don’t have to. Being a member of the CCA is my way of supporting research into celiac disease, right here in Canada. Thanks CCA – none of us can do it alone, but we can all do it together.
