Here are the results of my first internet on-line
celiac disease poll:
How old were you when you were diagnosed (by a doctor)
with CD?
0 - 9 years (48) 17%
10 - 19 years (8) 3%
20 - 29 years (30) 11%
30 - 39 years (70) 25%
40 - 49 years (57) 21%
50 - 59 years (47) 17%
60 - 69 years (14) 5%
70 years and up (4) 1%
Total (278) 100%
Although this poll is not scientific, there was a large
response (10% of our mailing list) compared to other polls
we have done by just using email. Keep in mind that most
of the respondents are people who have internet access.
I did process some votes by email for people who requested
to have their votes tallied as well.
It is interesting to note the 46% of the respondents were
diagnosed in their 30's and 40's. This is a far cry from
the old school belief that celiac disease only appears in
infancy.
