      Consider going to the doctor as it could be stomach flu, food poisoning, etc., and if you are in that much pain be sure to contact your doctor ASAP. I hope you get better soon!

      Celiac Disease has a genetic component. There have been two primary genes (HLDQ2 and HLDQ8) identified with the development of celiac disease and some other secondary genes. About 40% of the general population has one or more of these genes and, therefore, has the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develops active celiac disease. The development of active celiac disease requires not only the genetic potential but some kind of biological stress element that activates the genes.

      Hi Sammy,  Welcome aboard.  I hate to tell you this, but Celiac is genetic.  Somewhere back in the family line someone had it.  It was common for it to go undiagnosed years back.  My Mom was never diagnosed with it, but suffered with many of the same symptoms I had when I was finally diagnosed at age 56.  Silent Celiac may be in your family.   I'm sure others will chime in with more info.

      Tylenol works fir me. Try fasting 16-24:)hours. A little chicken soup (home made). Soft boiled egg. My mother called them "coddled" eggs. She ate them fron a small drinking glass. Been watching depression cooking videos. I have come to the conclusion that when we Americans began to replace potatos with grains we all became sick and many overweight. Back to potatos!

      Welcome to the forum, @SammieCook! It is very difficult to avoid cross contamination when other family members are not eating gluten free. But it is imperative that you double down on your own efforts in that area. Also, studies show that somewhere between 10% and almost 50% of those with active celiac disease have celiac disease themselves, even if they don't exhibit classic symptoms. Many are "silent" celiacs. I hope your family's stomach flu passes (excuse the pun) quickly. Viral infections can be the trigger that activates the celiac genes and turns the potential for it into the active form.
