By Andrew M. Seaman (Reuters Health) – Children from poorer areas in the UK are less likely to be diagnosed with celiac disease - but it's not clear why, researchers say. “We really don’t have any information from this piece of research to say why there are differences" between children from relatively poor areas compared to those from the least deprived areas, said Laila Tata, the study’s senior author from the University of Nottingham in the UK. Her team found roughly one new diagnosis of celiac disease for every 7,000 children living in wealthy areas, compared to about one new diagnosis for every 12,800 children living in the most deprived areas. In celiac disease, the immune system reacts to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. via Health News Headlines - Yahoo News Read More Here..
