The Calgary Celiac Association

Celiac Canada is the national voice for people who are adversely affected by gluten and is dedicated to improving diagnosis and quality of life.  Celiac Canada serves people with celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity and dermatitis herpetiformis through affiliated chapters across Canada.

The Calgary Celiac Association serves our local community through programs of awareness, advocacy, community events, education and research.

Our programs and events are open to anyone seeking help or advice. Subscribe to our emails to stay informed or join our membership program for additional member benefits.

Celiac disease is often hidden in plain sight

With over 200 potential symptoms — or sometimes none at all — it’s one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune diseases in Canada. May is Celiac Awareness Month, and we’re inviting you to learn the signs. Could it be celiac?

𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐫 𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 💚

Yesterday we had the pleasure of hosting our Volunteer Appreciation Brunch to celebrate and thank the incredible volunteers who supported the Calgary Celiac Association throughout 2025.

Held at the Hyatt Regency, guests enjoyed a wonderful gluten-free brunch with meat-free and dairy-free options that were very well received, making it a welcoming experience for everyone.

A special thank you to Lakeview on 90th for the beautiful cake, playhousetreats for the delicious goodies, and Velmira Delights for helping make the day extra special.

We have so much to be proud of and grateful for. The Calgary Celiac Association is a truly special community, and it exists because of the dedication, generosity, and heart of our volunteers.

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday, and thank you for everything you do to support our community. Together, we’re building something truly special. 💙💛💚
