First-degree family members (parents, siblings, children), who have the same genotype as the family member with celiac disease, have up to a 40% risk of developing celiac disease.

Thank you! I’m currently the breadwinner as my husband is pursuing a finance degree so the nights that I am at work they can eat whatever my husband makes but when I am home we have gluten free meals and no complaints so far!

Vitamin D deficiency is common in the United States, affecting up to 42% of the population. -

I think the one thing I would say is be extra vigilant when eating out. Never feel afraid to question the service staff. I think most of my glutenings have happened away from the home.
