Celiac Disease Awareness

A group for anyone who wants to increase Celiac Disease awareness.

Members: 35
Latest Activity: Sep 2

"Roughly one out of every 133 Americans has celiac disease, but 97% remain undiagnosed. This means that almost three million Americans have celiac disease and only about 100,000 know they have it."

What is Celiac Disease?
"Celiac disease is an autoimmune digestive disease that damages the villi of the small intestine and interferes with absorption of nutrients from food. What does this mean?
Celiac disease is triggered by consumption of the protein called gluten, which is found in wheat, barley and rye."

-stat and definition from NFCA
