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!

Gluten-Free Diet Insights
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.
Important Definitions:
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.
This is a massive undertaking, and NCA can’t succeed without YOUR help. Together, let's move the needle to provide much needed GF food for our struggling celiac community. Please consider a generous donation so together we can deliver GF food to those who need it the most.
