Keep in mind this is a rather atypical list. It was compiled from a variety of different people who have Celiac disease who experience these symptoms. It wouldn't be a bad idea to print this page out and check off what symptoms, if any, you have. It is also possible that you may exhibit no symptoms at all while still having the disease. If you're reading this right now it's probably safe to say you suspect you have Celiac disease.
