Happy Food Day, Canada!

Today, we’re celebrating Canadian-grown goodness, all while keeping it simple, crispy, and gut-friendly with one of our favourites: homemade kale chips.

Whether you’re managing IBS, IBD, celiac disease, gastroparesis, or just looking for a feel-good snack, these fibre-packed chips are easy on digestion (although everyone is different!) and big on crunch.

Grab the recipe at https://cdhf.ca/en/kale-chip-recipe

August is Gastroparesis Awareness Month.

Gastroparesis is a chronic digestive condition that slows or stops the movement of food from the stomach to the small intestine. It can cause severe nausea, vomiting, pain, early fullness, and malnutrition, and for many, it takes years to get a diagnosis.

At CDHF, we’re sharing stories, resources, and expert guidance all month long to:
- Raise awareness of gastroparesis
- Highlight the patient experience
- Empower people living with gastroparesis through education, tools, and support

If you or someone you love is living with gastroparesis, we see you, and we’re here for you.

New Condition Alert: Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile)!

We’ve just added Clostridioides difficile infection as the 23rd condition to our website, CDHF.ca!

C. difficile is a bacterial infection that can cause diarrhea and colon inflammation, often triggered by antibiotic use or exposure in healthcare settings. It’s also becoming more common in community environments, making awareness and early management more important than ever.

Learn how to recognize the signs, understand your risk, and take steps to protect your gut health.
