The full answer
Yes — often cramping tied to eating
Abdominal pain and cramping are common celiac disease symptoms, often appearing within hours of eating gluten. This is a direct result of intestinal inflammation combined with the bloating and gas that come from poor nutrient absorption.
Persistent pain deserves a proper workup
Because abdominal pain has many possible causes, it’s best evaluated by a doctor rather than assumed to be celiac disease — testing (see how celiac disease is diagnosed) can confirm or rule it out rather than leaving it to guesswork.
Important context
Individual symptoms, reactions, medical histories, food products, and local labeling rules can vary. Community experiences are not medical evidence.
For personal medical decisions, diagnosis, testing, or treatment, consult a qualified healthcare professional.
