Although my son is not showing any of the typical GI symptoms of coeliac he has been getting recurring headaches and sore throats. Luckily I have a very good GP and when I took him down for the sore throat they have agreed to run the blood test for coeliacs among other things.

We are hoping is is not and know that his symptoms are also typical of a fast growing teenager but very happy that the Doctors are willing to test anyway due to family history.. if it does come back positive I'm going to ask for my other three to be tested although they have no obvious symptoms too.

    My grandma, dad, and brother all get migraines from celiac. My son had recurring strep throat over and over again, because his immune system was so compromised by celiac. Good luck!
