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 โ€” or sometimes none at all โ€” itโ€™s one of the most underdiagnosed autoimmune diseases in Canada. May is Celiac Awareness Month, and weโ€™re inviting you to learn the signs. Could it be celiac?

Weโ€™re opening our doors and inviting you to come and meet us in person.

Join us at the Calgary Celiac Association office (near Chinook Mall, with parking available) anytime between ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฌ:๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฎ๐—บ โ€“ ๐Ÿฐ:๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ ๐—ฝ๐—บ. This open house is for anyone new or existing who may be interested in helping out with CCA this year.

We have several events and initiatives running throughout the year and are always looking for individuals and families who are affected by living with celiac disease and want to help advocate, support others, and share their passion.

This is a relaxed drop-in opportunity to:

โ€ข Meet the team
โ€ข Learn more about what we do
โ€ข See where your skills might fit
โ€ข Pick up a leaflet and have a chat

All skills are welcome. You donโ€™t need to sign up on the day - just pop by, say hello, and see if it feels like a good fit.

If youโ€™re thinking of coming, please give this post a ๐Ÿ‘ so we have an idea of numbers.

Hugs,
The Calgary Celiac Team ๐Ÿ’›
