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?

💚 𝗠𝗔𝗬 𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗰 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 💚

Celiac Awareness Month is a global initiative observed every May to increase understanding of celiac disease—an autoimmune condition where ingesting gluten damages the small intestine.

This month is about:
✨ Raising awareness
✨ Encouraging early diagnosis
✨ Supporting those living gluten-free
✨ And building stronger, more informed communities

Because while celiac disease is serious… no one should have to navigate it alone.

At the Calgary Celiac Association, we see more and more people finding their way into this community every year—seeking answers, support, and connection.
Yes, there can be challenges.
But there is also strength, resilience, and a whole community walking beside you.

✨ We always encourage this shift:
Focus on the foods you CAN enjoy
The places you CAN dine
The life you CAN create

💚 𝗠𝗮𝘆 𝟭𝟲 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗖𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗮𝗰 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗮𝘆—𝗯𝘂𝘁 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗯𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴.

And we’d love your input…

👉 𝗔𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗬𝗼𝘂'𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗲𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘆?

More education? Events? Guest speakers? Community meet-ups?
Let’s make this month and the rest of 2026 meaningful, supportive, and full of connection… because together, we make it easier.
