For people living with Celiac Disease, you will be happy to know that the Canada Revenue Agency does allow a tax deduction for the purchase of gluten free products.

The Canada Revenue Agency has all the information needed on their website.

Here is a summary:

• The incremental cost of Gluten-free (GF) products is an eligible medical expense.
• Eligible products are generally marketed specifically to the gluten free diet
• The gluten free tax deduction is only eligible with  a medical note with diagnosis of Celiac Disease
• A summary of each purchase of gluten free products must be kept
• A receipt for each purchase must be kept as well.
