Anti-tTG blood test shows 1 in 80 celiac in population

The largest investigation into the prevalence of undiagnosed celiac
condition in the general population is taking place in Europe with 4 million
euros of EC funding.
So far over 18000 blood samples have been tested and the results suggest
that 1 in every 80 people may show some adverse reaction to gluten, and so
benefit from a gluten-free diet.
This figure is very much greater than the number at present medically
diagnosed, so there are a lot of people out there suffering unnecessarily
from the effects of gluten in their diet.
