Celiac Disease Rates In The US Increased From 2000 To 2004, But Plateaued Thereafter, Study Finds
Posted in: Today's ChiliRates of celiac disease — a condition where people’s immune systems react to gluten found in wheat, rye and barley — increased between 2000 and 2004, but then stayed nearly the same from 2004 onward, according to a new study.
Reuters first reported on the study, published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology, which gives a nationwide look at celiac disease rates from a representative sample of people in Olmsted County, Minnesota.
For the study, researchers examined celiac disease rates in this region from 2000 to 2010, during which 249 people were diagnosed with the condition.
