My dad was diagnosed a Coeliac two or so years ago. From what I remember of the research I did online at the time, I have grounds to be curious about your diagnosis; they said that the only sure-fire diagnosis was that symptoms were present, but vanished on a strict exclusion diet. (But then, IANA doctor, let alone a gastroenterologist.) Then again, the disease manifests itself for him - he gets all manner of pain, trouble and (TMI) from his guts when he inadvertently consumes gluten. When I visit, it takes a little while for me to get used to little things like not taking a knife from butter to toast and back to get more butter, because the slightest cross-contaminated crumb sets him off. To him, it's like a peanut allergy, but with different (not directly life-threatening) symptoms and with a 12-18 hour delay.
