A new federal petition has been launched, and calls for a $ 1,000 refundable tax credit for people with celiac disease.

The price of gluten-free food is 150- to 500-per cent higher than their gluten-containing counterparts.

Celiac Canada says only one in five people actually use the program, but many need extra help.

As of Thursday , over 24,000 Canadians signed in support of gluten-free diet.

The federal petition was launched on Oct. 11 and is expected to be completely cleaned out.

Hiebert is one of those who says it could be a game changer for everyone who needs it to live well.
