Celiac Disease Stats

16,860 Triangle residents with Celiac Disease
1 out of every 133 Americans (about 3 million people or 1% of population) has Celiac Disease.
97% of Americans estimated to have CD are not diagnosed.
CD has over 300 known symptoms although some people experience none.
Age of diagnosis is key: If you are diagnosed between age 2-4, your chance of getting an additional autoimmune disorder is 10.5%. Over the age of 20, that rockets up to 34%.
30% of the US population is estimated to have the genes necessary for CD.
2.5 babies are born every minute in the USA with the genetic makeup to have CD.
There are 15 states in the US with populations less than the total number of Celiacs in the US.
CD affects more people in the US than Crohn’s Disease, Cystic Fibrosis, Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease combined.
500,000 new Celiac diagnoses are expected to occur in the US by 2012 -- thanks to efforts to raise public awareness of the disease.
People with CD dine out 80% less than they used to before diagnosis and believe less than 10% of eating establishments have a 'very good' or 'good' understanding of GF diets.
It takes an average of 11 years for patients to be properly diagnosed with CD even though a simple blood test exists.
The average cost of misdiagnosis is $5,000 - $12,000 per person per year. Improving the time to diagnosis could save the health care system millions of dollars annually in unnecessary medical care.
A recent study by Packaged Facts projects that the sales of GF food will reach $2.63 Billion by 2012. The GF market is also projected to hit $5 Billion by 2015.
GF foods are, on average, 242% more expensive then their non-GF counterparts.
The smallest amount of gluten which has been shown by a biopsy to cause damage to a Celiac is 0.1 gram per day - or 1/48th of a slice of bread.
The Food Allergen Labeling & Consumer Protection Act became law in 2006 allowing for easier reading of food labels for those with CD but the law only requires labeling of wheat. Nearly 5 years later, the FDA still has not finalized what it means to label a product Gluten Free.
12% of people in the US who have Down Syndrome also have CD.
8% of people in the US who have Type 1 Diabetes also have CD.
Among people who have a first-degree relative diagnosed with Celiac, as many as 1 in 22 people may have the disease. First degree relatives should be tested yearly for CD even if previous tests were negative.
There are currently 0 drugs available to treat CD.

Useful Resources: Gluten Free Cooking Videos

If you have been reading this blog for any amount of time, you will have noticed the lack of recipe posts. This blog is more focused on raising awareness of Celiac Disease and the Gluten Free Diet as well as restaurant reviews and grocery reviews. That being said, there are a ton of great Gluten Free Recipe blogs out there - just do a quick Google search and you'll find a ton. No need for me to repeat what others are already doing so well, right?

I have noticed a new trend though - video recipe blogs about Gluten Free cooking. Here are just a few that I have stumbled across lately that I thought you might enjoy.

Gluten Free Central - Hosted by Bethany Lee whose husband has Celiac Disease. There are currently 11 episodes with more coming each day. Videos are broken down into recipes, news, reviews and tips about Gluten Free cooking. The videos are well done and are very professional.

The Missing Ingredient Cooking Show - Hosted by Frank Baldassare who has Celiac Disease. There are currently 6 episodes about Gluten Free cooking. These videos are also very well done.

The Gluten Free Video Cookbook Blog - This blog has worked to gather as many Gluten Free cooking videos as possible - there are currently 125 already posted and the blog was just recently started. The blog is authored by David from Ireland and includes a wide variety of videos from all around the world.

Of course, there is always YouTube which has almost 2,000 Gluten Free Cooking videos available as of today.

ENJOY!

tracy c said...: Here's another one for you. Gluten Free Girl is one of my favorite blogs that I read very often. Shauna James Ahern is a wonderful writer and her husband is a chef. She does blog posts several days a week and on Wednesday's, they do a video. The first video was on how to cut up a whole chicken. next was to make stock. next was to make gluten free gravy. etc. Shauna has one book published: Gluten Free Girl - How I found the food that loves me back. And they are in the works on a second book. We love www.glutenfreegirl.com

Another good blog is Gluten Free Gobsmacked. Kate gives another refreshing outlook on eating gluten free and life in general.

Enjoy and Eat Well!
