Yes it is definately possible. Just because a cupcake has wheat in it doesn't take away the fact that its a cupcake. I learned this from experience. You should definately get checked if for no other reason than to rule it out, along with other gastric disorders like IBS or crohn's. Goodluck!

Thank you so much for this information. I have already been diagnosed with IBS, but suspect Celiac because I get soooo weak and tired after eating things like Spagetti or Bread.

It seems it is possible. Think you should have her checked out. Our try modifying her diet for awhile and see if it makes a difference.
