How do you develop celiac disease?
Celiac disease can develop at
any age after people start eating
foods or medications that contain
gluten. The later the age of celiac
disease diagnosis, the greater
the chance of developing another
autoimmune disorder. There are
two steps to being diagnosed
with celiac disease: the blood test
and the endoscopy.
