Celiac Disease?

[nels5637]

So for about the past 1-2 months I've been experiencing the following symptoms:

-weird floating stools

-bad smelling flatulence

-mucus-y stools

-intermittent constipation

-increased appetite (eating between 3000-6000 calories a day, before I would eat 1800 a day to maintain my weight)

-8lbs of weight loss

-itchy skin bumps

-occasional nausea

-headaches

-generally crappy feeling

-tiredness (sleeping between 12-14 hours a day)

-lightheaded when standing up (orthostatic blood-pressure?)

Also, I've been type 1 diabetic for 20 years (I'm 21), and despite all of these symptoms my blood sugars have been near perfect.

My aunt was diagnosed with Celiac disease last year, and my uncle, on the same side of the family, has gluten intolerance.

Does this sound like Celiac disease?

Testing for Celiac would sound reasonable.
