Hello,
As you suspect, you may have celiac disease. All your symptoms after taking Gluten gives us that suspicion.
Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disease of the small intestine occurring in genetically predisposed.
Constipation, diarrhea, fatigue and vitamin deficiency are the main symptoms, but the symptoms you experience may be due to the disease because of indigestion.
The main culprit is the gluten.
A diagnostic endoscopy and multiple biopsies from duodenum. Serum tests are available, but not conclusive. A measurement of iron and vitamin deficiency may indicate the possibility of the disease. Sometime Hypothyroidism may be associated
Treatment :
Gluten free diet is the only treatment available, for which you may have to consult a dietitian's advise.
best wishes
