Varied: The symptoms of celiac disease are quite varied. However, failure to thrive (failure to gain weight) is a common symptom in child who are diagnoses with celiac disease. Other symptoms of and pain, diarrhea and nutrient deficiencies can be seen in different age groups.

Variable: This is difficult to fully answer since everybody experiences variable symptoms with celiac disease. Best is to ask your gastroenterologist about these age-related manifestations.
