Hello faithful readers, a researcher needs our help with a research study so I am asking for your help! PhD candidate Rosie at the University of Birmingham in England reached out to me because she is studying with a friend, and is seeking individuals with Celiac Disease to partake in a study looking at eating patterns in those with and without Gastrointestinal disease. Rosie says:
This questionnaire looks at the patterns of eating behaviours and a variety of psychological characteristics in people with gastrointestinal disease and people without gastrointestinal disease. This can help us to identify any differences in eating patterns and gain a wider understanding of the impact that gastrointestinal disorders can have on everyday life. This information may help to improve services for those with gastrointestinal disease. The data will be completely anonymous; you do not have to provide your name. All participants will be given the opportunity to enter a prize draw for £50 in Amazon vouchers (or equivalent in your local currency).
We’re hoping that these results will help us look at concerns about eating and weight that coeliac disease can contribute to, and what dietary advice and support people with coeliac disease may need.
The survey will take you only approximately 40 minutes to complete, and can be found at the below link:

As a Celiac working in the Social Work and Research field I really love seeing studies that hope to find linkages between my required diet and psychological well being. I know all too well that the two are connected, and having research to suggest how and why they are could help improve treatment of those with Celiac Disease and other GI diseases beyond diet change. I hope you’ll consider taking time to participate!
