Celiac Information
If you’ve recently been diagnosed with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity, or if you have a relative or friend with the problem, you’re likely to be uncertain about a lot of things, and have many questions. You'll likely have heard about the gluten-free diet and the necessary changes to lifestyle, and you may be feeling overwhelmed by all the information, sometimes conflicting, available from many sources.
We know that change can be daunting, especially when it affects your whole life, and it can take a while to adjust. Celiac Canada (and Celiac Ottawa) can help you by providing science-based information and support as you make the adjustments to, and continue to live a gluten-free lifestyle. You can count on us to supply the help you need to understand how to be sure that what you eat is gluten-free, and that your gluten-free food will provide good nutrition for your future health.
Celiac Canada offers information sessions that will help you as you start on your path to a potentially exciting new lifestyle. Check our Events page to read up on local events, and you can visit the National site to see about webinars and other events to help the newly diagnosed. And feel free to contact us for more information, using the form on our Contact Us page or at info (at) ottawaceliac.ca.
Our events are open to all, whether or not you are a member of Celiac Ottawa. That said, we do hope that you will join Celiac Ottawa, as the local chapter of Celiac Canada, which is the national voice for people who are affected adversely by gluten, and works to improve diagnosis and quality of life for those who have to lead a gluten-free lifestyle.
OUR VISION: The gluten problem. Found. Treated. Cured.
