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?

𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗰 𝟭𝟬𝟭 – 𝗬𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 💚

Living with celiac disease can feel overwhelming at times…
Especially in the beginning.

The questions.
The label reading.
The “can I eat this?” moments.
The learning curve that no one really prepares you for.

That’s exactly why we’ve created 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗰 𝟭𝟬𝟭..

A 𝟵𝟬-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲, 𝗶𝗻-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 designed to guide, support, and simplify what living with celiac really looks and feels like.

✨ What we’ll cover:
• Understanding the basics of celiac disease
• Navigating gluten-free living with more confidence
• Tips for shopping, dining out, and avoiding cross-contact
• Real-life experiences, shared in a safe and supportive space

This isn’t just information…
It’s connection, reassurance, and learning from people who truly get it.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed, supporting someone with celiac, or just looking to feel more confident in your day-to-day life - this is for you.

To give you real impact, all we ask is $10 - and in return you’ll receive a yearly membership to Calgary Celiac, valuable information on the night, the chance to ask your own questions, and a goody bag to take home - CLICK THE LINK LIMITED SPOTS APPLY - www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/celiac-101-in-person-3

💚 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗰 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 💚

And on May 16th, we come together to mark the official day of awareness.

Across Alberta, we’re proud to see landmarks lighting up green in support- with Calgary joining on May 21st ✨

This month is about more than awareness…
it’s about connection, understanding, and knowing you’re not alone.

Whether you:

• Share a gluten-free meal with friends
• Try a new safe restaurant
• Or simply start a conversation

Every small action helps create a bigger shift.

Because the truth is…
living with celiac is absolutely doable and manageable—
especially when we have better options, stronger support, and a growing community around us.

And that’s exactly what we’re building. Together.

💚 Stand tall in your journey
💚 Share your story if you feel called
💚 Support someone who may be navigating this quietly

We’re here for you—every step of the way.
