Misdiagnosed?

Can someone please tell me if they have been misdiagnosed or thought they might be? what could it be if not Celiac?

I was diagnosed 10 years ago (age 18) after started to have some major stomach issues (constant diarrhea, bloating, etc) and I went strictly gluten free, we're talking full on anxiety ridden to even eat out.  I make all of my food, at first I lost a bunch of weight but have always been overweight, so I thought maybe it was doing some good, yet I still was having the issues.  Fast forward to 2016 (6 years in) and I am strictly gluten free still, dairy free, have been diagnosed with endometriosis and interstitial cystitis with a case of chronic hives (came out of nowhere no understanding of cause)....the endo was removed, I went to therapy (and still attend) based off them saying my issues were probably brought on more by anxiety....I have done everything on my part and here I am at 28 almost 29...10 years later with the same issues, same debilitating stomach problems that have stolen my 20's and Im thinking what else could it be?  I have given this disease a decade, stuck so true to it, so strict....theres got to be other options?  

Celiac does not run in my family from what we know. Any suggestions on what to ask for testing wise? or if I am just going to be this way forever with a diagnosis thats untamed.

Get the full celiac panel done to see if you have been completely gluten free. For some less than 20ppm gluten isn't good enough. All of the celiac numbers should be at normal levels.

The full celiac panel includes:

TTG IGA
TTG IGG
DGP IGA
DGP IGG
EMA
IGA

Has your gastroenterologist done an endoscopy lately to see if you are all healed?

      I would suggest you ask your doctor to order a "total IGA" test to check for IGA deficiency.

      I did a gluten challenge. I ate bread yesterday. I immediately felt horrid. Depressed, fearful, angry.  I also had the weirdest night terrors and "day terrors" (delusions). They were do awful, that I am still terrified. How do gluten impact your dreams?

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      New here as well lots of things learning I’ve discovered lots of foods have sneaky gluten so be mindful how is it going?? I have issues when I do cocktails 🍸 I don’t know if it is gluten free or not but get horrible side effects and so many others ooh well we are all learning how to cope with this….

      Thanks a lot! I will search that too. I also talked to another doctor and she assured me there is no gluten in this type of antibiotics. Anyway i started the administration of Augmentin on my girl this evening. I hope there will be no problems.
