How common is Celiacs disease?
Different resources say different things. The majority say something between 1 in 130-150 people. And supposedly 75% of those do not even know they have the disease. With other research highlighting that it is more prevalent in those that have Finnish or Irish decent. (let me find that research and confirm it again though)
Is it hereditary?
Yes it is, often if you have celiacs disease, your children, siblings and either your mum or dad will have celicacs. It is important for the whole family to get tested, just in case. In my case…. I’m the only one with it!
