Celiac disease is a genetic autoimmune disorder that causes inflammation of the small intestine and malabsorption of nutrients. Wheat, rye, and barley contain gluten, the toxic protein which triggers the reaction. Symptoms are varied and can be severe or vague.

The Canadian Celiac Association is a national organization dedicated to providing service and support to persons with celiac disease and dermatitis herpetiformis through programs of awareness, advocacy, education and research.

Welcome to our website!

Welcome to the home page of the new site for the Toronto Chapter of the Canadian Celiac Association. We would like to thank the generous donors from our chapter who made this site possible.

With approximately 1,100 members in the Greater Toronto Area, we are the largest chapter in the country.

We hope this site provides useful information for our members as well as for visitors to our city. We would also like to express our appreciation to all the dedicated volunteers who work so hard to raise awareness of celiac disease and help others to overcome the initial obstacles after diagnosis and learn to thrive.
