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?
