Have you ever asked your doctor to do a celiac disease blood panel? Your symptoms could certainly be caused by issues with gluten, so it would be worth getting tested. Note that you need to be eating gluten daily for 4-6 weeks before any tests, so you may not want to go gluten-free until all tests are completed. Here is more info on the blood tests:

Weak positive and no symptoms
Scott Adams replied to Olba's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Most people have few to no symptoms, but unfortunately all the negative effects of the disease still applies to even those who are asymptomatic. So to be tested be sure to keep eating gluten daily until all tests are completed. Feel free to share your blood results if you like. -
How long to get gluten back in
Scott Adams replied to Susan in NS's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Yes, considering that ~1% of the population has celiac disease, and maybe ~10-12% gluten sensitivity, and maybe only around 10-20% in the USA are diagnosed, it's a big problem. -

In general the only time I've heard of mass screening for celiac disease was in European countries with single payer health care systems. Screening early and treating celiac disease can save a great deal of health care costs. -
Pre-diagnosis
Scott Adams replied to Jan's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
The benefits of getting tested include follow up care like blood antibody screening for dietary compliance (although my doctor doesn't really do this routinely unless I ask for it!), and possible screening for other issues that can arise from years of untreated celiac disease. Some people need an official diagnosis to help them stay on the diet for life... -

It sound to me like the OP wants shelf stable, long life products, but perhaps the can clarify. -

Have a look at: https://www.alpineaire.com/us/us I’m not sure if this is what you’re looking for. -
Ok, so this would be sort of a cleansing diet for 4-6 weeks, and then you would eat a standard vegan and gluten-free diet? If this works for you that's great, and maybe it will work for others here who are having issues recovering.

Could the test results be wrong?
Scott Adams replied to Mikeymike93's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Is there any chance you can share your test results? In general the blood tests they give now are ~98% accurate. -
This is an interesting case study, and indicates that a vegan and raw diet can help manage Lupus, thank you for sharing it. It would be great to see a larger study done with a control group, but this is a start. I'm still curious about your specific diet. I understand that it is vegan, but now you're including raw foods, which is not necessarily vegan...
