Ep 77 Treena Duncan and Mark Johnson

May is Celiac Awareness Month and I am pleased to be collaborating with the Canadian Celiac Association to produce podcasts to support their theme of "Beyond the Gut".   The CCA hosted a conference on The State of Celiac bringing together researchers, doctors, dietitians, food producers, influencers and others who had a stake in the future of celiac disease and the gluten free diet.  I was fortunate to attend this event and was able to have short interviews with some of the speakers and attendees.  During this last week of Celiac Awareness Month, the podcast will consist of five interviews each highlighting one of the speakers and topics that I found of interest.  I work with the CCA all year, but it was a special privilege to be invited to their events in Toronto.  It was a busy weekend, with The State of Celiac Leadership Forum, the fundraiser for research, administrative meetings and my appearance at the Gluten Free Garage to meet with lots of other celiacs and those on a gluten free diet.  It takes a great deal of effort to put on these events and it also takes a great deal of foresight to see how all this work will benefit the CCA in it's planning for the future.  On this final episode for Celiac Awareness Month, I speak with Mark Johnson, who was instrumental in planning the forum and fundraiser, as well as Treena Duncan, President of the CCA for her views on how these meetings will contribute to the CCA going forward.
