Diagnosed celiac here, though a fairly mild case - blood test detected it 16 years ago, age 48, but I don't know if I've been hit with gluten, though celiac explains why I'm several inches shorter than my brothers and have bone density issues.
Anyway, I love fresh cilantro leaves in food, though it was an acquired taste. So probably no relationship to celiac.
One interesting off-topic datapoint about my diagnosis. I love asparagus, and remember I used to smell "asparagus urine" when I was young, but hadn't for decades. After going gluten-free that typical smell in my urine returned, leading me to believe my celiac diagnosis was accurate and my gut was repairing itself.
