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.

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?

🌾 A Beautiful Day at LOKAL’s GF Market! 🌾

Today, the Calgary Celiac Association - alongside many other amazing gluten-free businesses - took part in LOKAL’s GF Market at Marda Loop Community Centre.

Our booth was buzzing, and our “Guess the Gluten-Free Product” cards were a total hit! We invited people to guess which products were gluten-free and which were not - and let’s just say, it left a few people stunned 👀 It’s always such a fun and interactive way to spark conversation and share important education.

We were so grateful for the support of our volunteers and loved reconnecting with so many of our gluten-free friends throughout the day. These markets are such a wonderful way to build community, discover new products, and support local.

A big thank you to LOKAL for organizing such a great event - we’re already looking forward to the next one!
