The Canadian Digestive Health Foundation (CDHF) provides expert advice and compassionate support to the millions of Canadians who suffer from digestive disorders. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is one very important area of interest for the foundation.
CDHF helps patients and their caregivers understand their diseases, connect with others who have similar experiences, and find effective ways to manage IBD with confidence and optimism.
We are the Foundation of the Canadian Association of Gastroenterology. As such, we are directly connected to Canada’s leading digestive health experts, physicians, scientists and other health care professionals. Those living with IBD, and the health care professionals they work with, can trust the CDHF to provide practical, science-based information that is up to date and unbiased.
To empower all Canadians to manage their digestive health with confidence and optimism.
