Never considered it. This doesn't seem to be one of the symptoms of celiac disease but I do have some chestpain and itching lately which Google lists, did you have anything more? Are you better now?
Chronic constipation is definitely a symptom - for some reason the "diarrhea all the time" presentation is the only one I ever heard about before diagnosis though, and it's usually the only one doctors spot. I didn't have any other symptoms until I slowly developed lactose intolerance and painful cramps after eating. I eventually had an episode of constipation so bad that I ended up feverish and in the ER.
After eliminating gluten from my diet I don't have any of these issues any more. I have 1-2 regular bowel movements a day.
This was me my whole life and it turned out to be celiac disease

Thanks, suspected it could be a more rare symptom. I'll look into it, glad things improved for you
