If your child has celiac disease

What symptoms did/do they have?  I'm concerned that my DD may be following in my footsteps, but I'm also trying not to be paranoid.  I know there are a whole host of symptoms that people may or may not have--I certainly had some of the most obscure, seemingly random symptoms myself.  (rash, joint pain, infertility/miscarriage).

My DD frequently complains about her stomach hurting and has very pale stools.

My child doesn't have it, but my mom & brother do.  Some symptoms they had were puffy sinuses, gas, bloating, digestive issues (loose, frequent stools), generally feeling crappy.  I am sure they could list more than that.  They both ended up getting blood allergy testing & they are allergic to many more things than that though.  They both feel sooo much better physically now that they know what foods to avoid.  Good luck!

My DH has it and when he was a child he had headaches, tiredness, sick easily, bloated, diarrhea, and mouth sores. He's never been officially tested, but he doesn't eat gluten anymore and is a different person. I know it is genetic, so there's a high chance if you have it, your daughter probably has it (if she has some if the symptoms). So either get a diagnosis or put her on a GF diet so she feels better!

DDs' earliest symptoms were stomach pain, gas, fussiness, mild rashes and trouble sleeping. 

The anemia, weight-loss, vomitting, bloating, mouth sores, fatigue, etc didn't come until DD2 was quite sick and DD3 never got sick enough for those symptoms.

My DD definitely has trouble sleeping.
