Is it possible to randomly develop celiac disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: You can develop celiac at any age. Usually there is a genetic predisposition to inheriting it . There are blood tests that can alert you to whether you may have it. A endoscopy is usually done to confirm the diagnosis by biopsy of the intestines.
