<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have a question that I have wondered about for some time. I know that celiac is inherited and I also know from my science about genetics and how it works. But if I have cd and my first cousin on my mothers side has cd and I believe that my mother's mother had cd, can cd skip a generation and my cousin and I have it but our mothers don't? Did it surface because I got recessive genes from both parents? Or are our mothers celiac also and just don't know it? The reason I ask this is that my mother and her mother and my cousin are all overweight and always have been. My mothers doctor says oh you can't be celiac because you are overweight. My symptoms are not the typical. Some insights from those of you who have done more research would be greatly appreciated.
