The Rising Prevalence of Celiac Disease

The obscure theories

The most obscure theories point towards certain elements such as microwaves, plastics, and diatomaceous powder, a substance used in the production of flour containers as a pesticide. However, scientific evidence to support the allegations is scarce. Instead, environmental factors such as delivery via cesarean section and intestinal infections have been more closely linked to the increase in celiac disease, though only in very few cases, according to researchers.
