National Celiac Association San Diego is a proud chapter of the
National Celiac Association.
National Celiac Association.
Who ever said it was easy to live gluten-free? For many of us it can be complicated, isolating, and expensive. National Celiac Association's (NCA) programs are designed to provide exactly what people need to thrive with celiac disease and other gluten-related conditions! Your support will allow NCA to continue to provide education and resources to the entire GF community! Check out the NCA website at nationalceliac.org
NCA is here to serve you and the greater gluten-free community!
Don't forget to check out our NCA event calendar for in-person and virtual events that happen throughout the month including the national support group meeting.
New Abbreviation:
You may notice that we are transitioning to the use of CeD instead of CD as an abbreviation for celiac disease. This is to distinguish between other diseases including Castleman and Crohn’s that use CD.
Definition:
Cross contact is the correct term to use when gluten-free food has had contact with gluten-containing food.
Cross contamination should be used when bacteria is transferred to food, making it unsafe to consume.

Upon receiving an increase in requests for GF food assistance and uncovering an extreme lack of gluten-free (GF) food in many food pantries across the US, NCA launched Feeding Gluten-Free. The goal of this initiative is to connect GF food companies to food pantries across the US. Click here to see some of the GF food NCA has helped distribute to area food pantries so far.
