On average, about 9,000 diagnoses of celiac disease are made in Italy each year, and it affects about 1 percent of the general population.
Today, May 16, marks World Celiac Disease Day, an initiative aimed at raising awareness of the disease and reminding people that the only possible cure for sufferers is to exclude gluten from their diet.
For those who must follow a gluten-free diet, we remind you that our celiac disease department offers a wide range of certified GLUTEN-FREE products!
