My Story…
I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease 21 years ago at the age of 23. It was a bit of a shock to get a letter in the mail from a doctor saying I had this disease. At the time, there was very little information out there on what it was or how to live with it. Celiac disease is an illness caused by an immune reaction to eating gluten. Gluten is a protein found in foods containing wheat, barley or rye.
Celiac Canada is the only national charity championing how to find, treat & cure celiac disease so people affected can safely manage a lifelong gluten-free journey. While Celiac Disease is more publicly talked about nowadays, not many people know where to go for help. Celiac Canada is there to help!
Please help me raise money for Celiac Canada! I appreciate your support!!
