You have been tested for celiac, right? Since those are just symptoms of, it's genetic, runs in families, etc.
Still tremendously under-diagnosed (30% of the population has the gene, 1% has full-blow celiac, of which 95% are undiagnosed and continue developing the complications of, which can include the above, type 1 diabetes, nerve issues, dementia/parkinsons/MS look-a-likes, even downs syndrome in kids and infertility in adults). And that 29% with the gene and not full-blown celiac can still have symptoms and keep developing complications over time.
