More than 95% of all people with celiac disease are undiagnosed—and untreated—and at risk for complications from malnutrition to cancer.
Celiac disease is one of the most common autoimmune and gastrointestinal diseases, affecting more than 1% of the population. Many more have gluten-related ailments. People with celiac disease may have typical gastrointestinal symptoms, but others have seemingly unrelated problems, and diagnosis is delayed or never occurs.
