No one should become sicker because the food they are served isn't safe.
Linda Sill shared the heartbreaking story of her mother, who was repeatedly exposed to gluten through cross contamination while living in long-term care and during hospital stays. As her health declined, she became too ill to advocate for herself. Sadly, she never recovered.
Her story is a powerful reminder that for people with celiac disease, a strict gluten-free diet is not a choice, it's the only treatment.
That's why we're asking our community to help spread the word. 📢
Share Celiac Canada's Gluten-Free Food Service in Health Care: A Practical Guide with your local hospital, long-term care facility, retirement home, or healthcare food service team.
Developed by dietitians with expertise in food service management, the guide provides practical tools and best practices to help healthcare facilities safely plan, prepare, and serve gluten-free meals while reducing the risk of cross contamination.
Together, we can help ensure that no one else experiences what Linda's mother endured.
