Celiac affects 1% of the world population.
Here in the U.S. there are nearly three million people with Celiac disease.

Here on Long Island, that would be close to 30,000. 
 
Celiac is 97% to 99% undiagnosed in the U.S.
Approximately 2,910,000 people have NOT been diagnosed.

Statistically, a person with celiac symptoms seeks medical assistance for an average of 10 to 15 years of medical attention before receiving a correct diagnosis. A celiac diagnosis often coincides with care for a health crisis.

For each person who is already diagnosed in the U.S.
there are 33 sick people who do not know yet 
that they have celiac disease.
