Why give to the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation?

Many Canadians delay seeking help for digestive health concerns because of a lack of information, embarrassment, or fear. As a result, conditions that could be identified early – when they are often most treatable – may go undiagnosed.

Even when a digestive disorder cannot be prevented, early diagnosis and timely treatment can help manage symptoms, preserve quality of life, and reduce the risk of more serious complications.

This needs to change.

Good lifestyle choices and proper nutrition play an important role in digestive health. When lifestyle changes aren’t enough, safe and effective over-the-counter or prescription treatments can help.

Access to trusted, evidence-based information empowers Canadians to recognize symptoms, seek medical care sooner, and make informed decisions about their digestive health.

Education and awareness of digestive health and disease are essential. Every day, the Canadian Digestive Health Foundation (CDHF) works to help Canadians understand, protect, and enhance their digestive health.

Since our founding in 1993, CDHF has raised and invested more than $1 million to support Canadian digestive health researchers and has developed countless educational programs for people living with digestive conditions.

Your generosity helps us continue providing trusted, timely, and evidence-based information to the millions of Canadians affected by digestive conditions, while promoting preventive and proactive approaches to lifelong digestive health.

Every gift makes a difference.

“As someone with chronic digestive illness I’ve benefitted thoroughly from CDHF’s resources. Thank you for all the work that you do and here’s to supporting more advances in the field of digestive health.”
