I'm a Celiac and it's frustrating to see the lack of awareness among doctors. It takes on average about 10 years from first symptoms to diagnosis - that's a lot of suffering and wasted medical resources.
Take a look at some back of the envelope math - the cost is staggering.
Prevalence 0.75%
US Population (MM) 200
Years to Diagnosis 10
Medical Cost per Year $500
Total Cost (MM) $7,519
