Read about FODMAPs and the FODMAP diet - odds are you probably aren't celiac. Another thing to consider if you are on PPIs like Prilosec or take Pepcid or similar histamine blockers. Especially the former, but both can really muck with intestinal health.

For my wife it was the other way around: she went to a nutritionist and tried to eliminate fructose etc. (similar to FODMAP), but eventually it turned out it was simply gluten-insensitivity.
This is not entirely the same as being celiac. You can still have very small amounts of gluten, whereas someone being celiac should not eat any at all.

My wife has long figured she has a gluten sensitivity. However, many doctors and researchers believe there is no mechanism for that and that it isn't really gluten at all, but something else.
We have found that it isn't so much the quantity of gluten, but the quality of the product. For example, a piece of cheap, white bread has bad effects, but a piece of whole grain, organic bread or sourdough is usually fine. This could be fodmaps, but we have tried cutting those without much effect.
Right now, our working theory is contaminants and mimic weeds that make their way into wheat and other cheaper products where as the supply is a bit more controlled in the higher end and organic products. But we are still mostly befuddled.

There is the glyphosate hypothesis that seems to fit your situation: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3945755/
