Celiac disease affects people differently. Some people develop symptoms as children, others as adults. One factor thought to play a role in when and how celiac appears is whether and how long a person was breastfed -- the longer one was breastfed, the later symptoms of celiac disease appear, and the more atypical the symptoms. Other factors include the age at which one began eating foods containing gluten and how much gluten is eaten. Symptoms may or may not occur in the digestive system. For example, one person might have diarrhea and abdominal pain, while another person has irritability or depression. In fact, irritability is one of the most common symptoms in children. Symptoms of celiac disease may include one or more of the following: Recurring abdominal bloating and pain. Chronic diarrhea. Weight loss. Pale, foul-smelling stool. Unexplained anemia (low count of red blood cells). Gas. Bone pain. Behavior changes. Muscle cramps. Fatigue. Delayed growth. Failure to thrive in infants

People with celiac disease tend to have other autoimmune diseases. The connection between celiac disease and these diseases may be genetic. These diseases include thyroid disease systemic lupus erythematosus type 1 diabetes liver disease collagen vascular disease rheumatoid arthritis Sjögren's syndrome http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/celiac/index.htm#9
