A new study by the Annals of Medicine shows that the rate of Celiac disease is growing and that gluten intolerance can occur in older people. 

Specifically:

“The sharp increase of CD prevalence observed in the US between the time window investigated in this study (1974 – 1989) and current time was apparently related to an increasing number of subjects that, in their adulthood, lost the immunological tolerance to gluten. The reasons for these changes are not clear but should be investigated among the many environmental factors favoring CD.”

What this is saying is that the previous held notion that autoimmune disorder develops during childhood isn’t completely correct. The most cases occurred in subjects that developed the disorder during their adulthood life. In 2003 the Rate of autoimmune disorder in America was 1 in every 133 people.
