Yes! My 13 year old was diagnosed with celiac after having covid twice. Prior to having covid, he never had a gluten sensitivity. We noticed it when he began losing a lot of weight and complaining of stomach pains and headaches after he ate.

There are celiac support groups for kids and adults that are mostly for emotional support, and also recipes and safe places eat. I call celiac a verbally transmitted social disease; the social aspects of not eating gluten are tougher than the diet, especially for kids when they can't eat the same things as all the other kids. One can feel excluded with celiac, so good to have friends that are there with you.
