If you suspect celiac disease and/or have biological relatives with celiac disease, you must continue to eat gluten until you have been formally diagnosed. Make an appointment with a gastroenterologist, get your blood tested for antibodies, and if positive, ask for an endoscopy to take a sample of the small intestine. This should be done under the guidance of a gastroenterologist.

The symptoms are similar to I.B.S.irritable bowel disease. Constant and urgent trips to the lavatory & usually foul smelling motions. Painful abdomen, with swelling for some people. A feeling of being run-down & lacking energy.

Get tested by a doctor if you have any dietary or health issues related to eating food like bread, pasta or cereals.

If you have been having symptoms that include diarrhea, upset stomach, constipation, or other symptoms that could indicate malabsorption, see your doctor and based on your medical history your doctor may prescribe a celiac panel test.

Not being able to gain weight, weight loss, diarrhea and even constipation, painful stomach cramps. Go to your primary care doctor and get a referral to a gastrologist.

I would go to a family doctor and request a test for antibodies, known as a celiac panel. It that is negative, follow up with a gastroenterologist.

If you read the list of symptoms you think you may have it, go to your doctor and that you do the relevant tests. In my case as the adult my symptoms were: always gas, many, always abdominal swelling, always anemia, areas of my skin with less pigmentation, low voltage.

If you have diarrhoea or recurrent vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal distension, malnutrition, anemia, constipation, headaches, dermatitis, herpes, gases, emotional disorders, etc, you must use the gastroenterologo to get blood tests and in case of a positive perform fibrogastrocopia with biopsy of small intestine

stomach discomfort, anemia, fatigue, swelling. The first thing is to go to a gastroenterologist who knows about the disease and perform the blood tests and endoscopy, then completely remove gluten from the diet, never before the blood tests as it can come out altered.
