Short answer: no.
A parent may correctly identify an intolerance to gluten (and this is often the case as the disease is notoriously under-diagnosed by doctors and there are many misconceptions about it), but to correctly identify Celiac disease requires medical testing, either blood, biopsy or genetic assay tests.
On the other hand, since gluten intolerance and Celiac disease have the same treatment, a diet excluding certain grains and grain products, and there is no medicine or cure for the disease, the diagnosis is of limited value.
Going off gluten can make the disease harder to diagnose, but if you don't have access to testing or your doctors are uncooperative, and taking your child off gluten improves their health, then it's the right thing to do whether or not it's Celiac disease.

Which parent is celiac disease inherited from?
Celiac is an inherited trait, like blue eyes, or curly hair. Since it is a recessive inherited trait, both parents of a person with celiac may not have the disease, but are carriers. It is also more prevalent in Scotch-Irish people, red heads and fair complexions. Celiac is not an allergy to wheat or gluten, but an autoimmune disorder. This means that the body attacks itself when gluten is consumed. As an autoimmune disorder, the only treatment is to avoid all products that contain gluten.There are many people that inherit the trait for celiac, but it also requires a trigger, such as massive consumption of gluten, stress, or viral infection, for celiac to become an active disease. It can begin as early as infancy, and as late as adulthood.If you have a direct relative with celiac, your chance of having it as well are much greater than the general population.
