Celiac Disease is a serious problem in and of itself, compounded by the fact that only about 2 percent of those inflicted are actually diagnosed. And according to the latest numbers, you probably know someone who has CD. 1 in 133 people are estimated to have it, but so few doctors actually test for it. I suffered for literally 22 years before FINALLY being diagnosed. I had symptoms from birth, but my mother was just told I had colic and was lactose intolerant (in addition to being a banana baby). And so little is actually known about CD. Not too long ago, it was considered a problem one would grow out of, but this is far from the truth.
