Celiac Disease | Vibepedia

The term 'celiac' comes from the Greek word 'koiliakos', meaning 'abdominal'. Celiac disease has been recognized as a distinct medical condition since the 20th century. The condition is more common in women than men, and can affect anyone from childhood to adulthood. The demand for gluten-free products has increased significantly over the past few years. Celiac disease is related to other autoimmune disorders, such as type 1 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis.
