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.
