What is Celiac?

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.
