Hi, coeliac disease is an autoimmune condition, which means that the body is harming itself when it comes in to contact with wheat or other substances. I have put a link to a website here which is great to answer a lot of questions you may have. I don't have coeliac disease myself, but a friend of mine does. It doesn't have to be as bad as it sounds, so long as you stick to a recommended diet you can be virtually symptom free.
Regarding the gastroscopy and colonoscopy, different physicians have different methods, my father had a gastroscopy and was lucid, but i believe you can request sedation. You will likely be given pain relief. It is a pretty quick process. Check out the link for more information...
