In our experience, yes.

My daughter has recently been diagnosed and these are her main symptoms as well as a bloated tummy. 
 

Out of interest what’s the vomiting like? Is it intermittent? Just one episode? Day or night?

It was 1 short episode at night.  I was fine eating my dinner several hours before this.

      Thank you. Yes I’d looked into both of these causes. My only thoughts on a triggering event were when my daughter was born and she had breathing difficulties so was in NICU.    It’s all quite fascinating. My husband shows signs of celiac. Low immune system, b12 deficiency, peeling skin and more recently severe and intermittent allergic rhinitis.    We will all get testing, I’m sure.

      Even though you were tested for celiac disease at 20 and it was negative, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. Developing active celiac disease requires to elements.  The first element is the genetic potential. There have been two primary genes connected to the development of celiac disease, HLDQ 2 and HLDQ 8, and some secondary variant genes. About 40% of the population possess one or more of these two genes or their variants but only about 1% of the population ever develops active celiac disease. So, having the genetic potential is insufficient as a standalone diagnostic measure. But not having the genetic potential can be used to rule out celiac disease. Which brings me to the second element: The second element is some kind of triggering stress event that turns the celiac genes on such that the latent potential is activated. It can be a viral illness, a prolonged emotional/psychological stress event or almost anything. This is kind of the mystery part of the process. So, in science this is known as epigenetics or how genetic potential is influenced by external factors. So, most who have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease never do because the sufficient external triggering stimulus doesn't happen. There is something else you should be aware of regarding gluten disorders and that is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      I have long hair and tend to get it in my mouth so I make sure there are no gluten ingredients in my shampoo.  I don’t worry about something that just goes on my skin, away from my mouth.

      As @trents mentioned, in the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children!

      Thank you. This was my thinking too. My son is actually undergoing celiac testing now too as he has been experiencing digestive issues most of his life at 5 years old. Not constipation, more loose bowels, flatulence etc. In a very strange way, I’m hoping that his will come back positive too so that we get some answers and can actually start to help him as he’s getting more aware.    I had testing when I was 20 and it came back negative so I think my husband may have it. Just telling him now to get tested too! I’m happy for us all to go gluten-free in the house as I’ve got IBS too so it wouldn’t be a bad thing to avoid it.
