My husband and I got tested for Celiac recently b/c our 2 yr old was diagnosed with CD.  I was negative but my husband was positive.  However, he has no symptoms and never has.  He is 39 years old, otherwise completley healthy, with a healthy build (6 feet, 180 pounds, pretty muscular).  I know one can be Celiac without symptoms, so I'm not doubting the diagnosis, but I'm wondering whether he is likely to have any associated health problems b/c of his having untreated celiac for so long.  In other words, if you have no symptoms, is less damage being done?  I would think that must be the case.  I mean, he's obviously been absorbing nutrients based on his height and build.  Any thoughts?
(p.s. the only thing we wonder about is that he does not sleep well - never has - and he sometimes gets headaches after eating a lot of carbs.  Could these be Celiac side effects??).
Thanks.
