Updated: November 9th, 2022

CDHF provides science-based, consumer friendly content for healthcare professionals, their patients and the public, about digestive conditions and gut health, to help those manage these digestive conditions of which many do not currently have a cure. 

Millions of Canadians are suffering from and living with these conditions: many of which cannot be seen or noticed. Being aware of them can help employers and employees create a manageable, supportive, and productive work environment. In this webinar, Executive Director Kelsey Cheyne goes over who the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation is, and the top digestive conditions that you should be aware of.
