Is that just parents in general or parents of celiac children? If it's just parents in general it's believable. If it's parents If celiac children it's way too high. I do know adults with celiac, without the abdominal issues, that figure it's still ok to eat gluten. Education is key
That stat surprises me!

2moAs a celiac patient it infuriates me to hear this as I have lost organs, developed asthma and other chronic illnesses due to celiac. Every time you inheat gluten you are damaging you body and to do this to a child is unfathmonable. We need more awareness for families and society in general, especially about cross contamination.
