      Coeliac disease is a condition where the intestine – as a really bad analogy – gets hay fever. Usually this is a response to a combination of environmental factors (like gluten) and genetics. As the immune system is such a wonderful waterfall of chemical reactions, pinpointing exactly WHY it has been triggered is very difficult. So to answer your question: no, not yet.
