Thanks so much to all of you (and there were bunches!) that answered my
post. In Summary:

Yes, it is possible to have a negative blood test and be CD possible for
many reasons. They include the fact that there are very few labs able to
correctly read the test/results.

Also, you can have the CD gene, but not have full blown CD. You need a
trigger, such as a stressful event, to activate the gene.

Many people are overweight when diagnosed. Apparently being underweight is
less common, atleast from the experiences of those who answered.
Often times food allergies are delayed.

There is a 1:12 chance that our children will be CD if they have a CD
parent.

Overweight could be caused by the fact that nutrients are not being
absorbed in the body, and the body craves more food to try and find those
nutrients.

Many people lost weight after being diagnosed and going GF.

Great contact for food allergies is Lisa Durrow, 1-800-943-6313. She will
send a video (free) on food allergies and gaining weight.
