Living gluten free isn't just a dietary choice for people with celiac disease, it's a medical necessity. But what happens when the high cost of gluten-free food puts safe meals out of reach?

In Episode 368 of A Canadian Celiac Podcast, host Melissa Secord, National Executive Director of Celiac Canada, explores the growing issue of food insecurity within the celiac community. Joining her are Dr. Diana Mager, researcher and professor at the University of Alberta, Julie LeJeune, former Executive Director of the Fort York Food Bank, and Chelsea Lukawy from Celiac Canada's Manitoba Chapter.

Together, they discuss the unique challenges faced by Canadians living with celiac disease, the barriers to accessing affordable gluten-free food, emerging research on food insecurity, and opportunities for community action and support. This important conversation shines a light on the intersection of health, affordability, and access to safe food.

Tune in to learn how researchers, advocates, and community leaders are working to address food insecurity and support Canadians living with celiac disease.
