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?

We’re looking forward to being part of something very special this weekend 💚

For the first time, The Calgary Celiac Association will be attending a 𝗦𝗲𝗻𝗶𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗘𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝗿𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗲, hosted by 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻, and it’s an initiative we are deeply committed to.

As we age, the choices we make around our health, food, and care matter more than ever. For those living with celiac disease, those choices can also feel overwhelming.

That’s why we’re here.

To support.
To educate.
To help seniors, and their families, feel more confident navigating gluten-free living safely and with ease.

✨ We’re also gathering insight directly from our senior community.

If you are a senior living with celiac, or have a parent who is, we would truly value your input.

or simply message “𝗬𝗘𝗦” and we’ll send you the survey link.

🕘 9:00 - 3:00 PM
🎟️ Free Entry

This is more than just an event for us, it’s a step toward building stronger support, better awareness, and a community where no one feels alone in their journey.

We hope to see you there 💚
