Who is Most at Risk for Celiac Disease?

Last Updated on February 27, 2023 by the Celiac-Disease.com Staff Leave a Comment

We’ve all heard the statistic that 1 in 133 people are believed to have Celiac Disease, but are some people more likely to have it than others? As we learn more about this disease, we’ve learned that the answer is yes.

Our friend Nancy Lapid of About’s Celiac Disease page recently did some research and explains what groups have higher risks for Celiac Disease, based upon information taken from the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) and the American College of Gastroenterology.

Included on the list are the following groups of people:

  • Relatives of people with celiac disease
  • People with iron deficiency anemia
  • People with premature osteoporosis and osteopenia
  • People with type 1 diabetes mellitus
  • People with autoimmune thyroid disease
  • Women with reproductive disorders
  • People with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Click here to check out the rest of the list.

Know of anyone who fits into several of these groups?   Pass along a suggestion that they get tested!
