ā
Celiac disease is a serious autoimmune disease that occurs in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine. An estimated 1 in 100 people worldwide has celiac disease, yet the majority remain undiagnosed. Celiac disease can present with a wide range of symptoms, or with no obvious symptoms at all, making diagnosis challenging.ā
ā
The Celiac Disease Foundation is working to change that by advancing research, providing trusted education and resources, and advocating for the needs of people affected by celiac disease.
