Food literacy of people living with chronic health disease requiring dietary changes
Food literacy among people living with celiac disease
Food literacy among people living with celiac disease
- In partnership with Coeliaque Québec, we are exploring the importance of food literacy in the adoption of a gluten-free diet for adults living with celiac disease. We are exploring the role of social vulnerability and food literacy skills for adults living with celiac disease. We are also interested in the impact of celiac disease on different spheres of their food literacy, and are doing so by exploring negative memories of adults living with celiac disease. From a social responsibility perspective, we aim to improve the quality of life of patients with celiac disease by helping them and their families to achieve greater social inclusion.

Food literacy, chronic illness and a community garden
Food literacy, chronic illness and a community garden
- What better place to learn about food than in the garden! The Centre Jean-Jacques-Gauthier’s collective garden is an ideal place to acquire food literacy skills, whether for health promotion, chronic disease prevention or the management of existing chronic illnesses. It’s a place where we can develop your food skills, discover the power of food to bring people together, get closer to our neighbours and become part of our community.
