CrowdMed Blog Topic: Celiac Disease

Here are all CrowdMed Blog posts on Celiac Disease. The prevalence of Celiac disease is estimated to be approximately 1% among Western populations, with increased risk among people with a first-degree relative with the disease. Females are 2-3 times more likely than males to have Celiac disease. Though the incidence of the disease does appear to be rising, some of the increase is likely due to increased surveillance and understanding of the disease, assisted with the development of blood tests to identify antibodies such as anti-tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG), that target the lining of the small intestine.
