Signs of celiac disease begin to show not only in childhood patterns, but can also develop at more mature ages. What causes celiac disease is often linked to hereditary reasons, certain genetic disorders, and autoimmune disease. Some indicators can include anemia, bad liver function, autoimmune thyroid disease, Down syndrome, Microscopic colitis (colon inflammation), and Turner Sydrome (an incomplete sex chromosome).
However, a large minority of the population (some 40%) actually carries one or both of those genes, so genetics isn't the only factor in play here. To develop celiac disease, you must be eating gluten. When you have celiac disease, gluten spurs your immune system to damage your small intestine. Still, gluten is extremely common in Western-style diets (most people eat glutenâand frequently lots of itâseveral times each day), and still only about 1% of people develop celiac disease.
