Depends: It can be. It may not be the only symptom, and fatigue can also be a symptom of many other things. So it is non specific.

Fatigue & celiac.: The quick answer is yes, fatigue can be caused by celiac disease as the malabsorption of carbohydrates causes dehydration and reduces the intake of the body's main energy substrate. But many other things can cause fatigue, too.
