added a post in a topic How Young Was Your Child Diagnosed? 
My son was diagnosed at age one. He had digestive problems since
birth. Gas, cramping, constipation, spitting up. We went through
formulas up through Neocate, reflux medicines. By one year old
he was eating rice cereal and baby food pears and losing weight.
He was diagnosed by positive gene test, and an endoscopy that
showed slight changes in the lining. I figure he had an immature
digestive system and the failure to heal or mature triggered
celiac to develop. So it may be impossible for an infant to be
diagnosed, but my son certainly had digestive problems
