October is Celiac Awareness month. Did you know that 1 in 133 Canadians have celiac disease? Celiac disease can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms are often vague and non-specific.

This year we have a letter to take to your family doctor to make physicians aware of celiac disease and it's symptoms.

If you would like a copy of the letter please contact Angela Petrie, awareness coordinator of the Kelowna and area Celiac Association at d_n_a@telus.net.
