Question by : How does one develop celiac disease?
and how common is it in young teens?
Best answer:
Answer by Heinz
People who develop Celiac disease later in life are born with it, it just develops later. People who are born with it, have it on the genes. If your mom or your dad has it, it is likely you’ll have it to. From my knowledge, people that develop this later in life, it’s usually in their early twenties and after that, but I’ve also seen it happen in teens, but it’s more rare.
What do you think? Answer below!
Everyone who has Celiac Disease has a genetic disposition. Some people have the genetic disposition but will never develop it. Some people believe that it’s triggered by an outside factor.
About 1 in 100 people have Celiac Disease. People can be diagnosed at any age. I was diagnosed at 17, my Mum at 50, my uncle at 47.
