Celiac Disease
Celiac disease is a medical condition in which the absorptive surface of the small intestine is damaged by a number of proteins found in grains, and referred to collectively as 'gluten'.

LiaisonThis is the first point of contact with the Chapter for those needing help to navigate celiac disease, the gluten-free diet, or if they are seeking more about information about Celiac Canada / the Canadian Celiac Association. We provide information via telephone or occasional mailed pamphlets, or in the case of organizations such as restaurants, retirement homes, and interest groups in general, by delivering appropriate lectures and presentations. We may be reached at info (@) ottawaceliac.ca. Please note that we cannot provide medical advice or patient referrals.
