I see that Dr. Murray did not include stress in his list. However, in The
Celiac ActionLine, Fact Sheet (posted to the list on 18 Nov 1994) it does
mention severe emotional stress:
Celiac disease is an inherited illness with the genes responsible
for it being present throughout life. The onset of the disease has
no age restriction but there are many hypotheses related to
possible causative factors. In some adults, symptoms leading to a
diagnosis of Celiac disease have been observed to appear after
severe emotional stress, a pregnancy, an operation, or a viral
infection.
