What Could Stomach Pain, Bloating And Diarrhea Like Stools Decreased After Intake Of Gluten Free Food Indicate?

I have been experiencing stomach pains, bloating, and soft, almost diarrhea like stool for over a month now. No matter what I eat, I have these problems. I started eating gluten free foods today and my problems have decreased, i.e I am not experiencing any stomach pains today. What could be the issue? Celiac disease? Gluten?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history of having problems of stomach pains, bloating, soft diarrhea like stool for over a month - improved after stopping gluten, wants to know whether celiac or gluten..
This certainly looks to be Gluten intolerance.
If you continue not taking the gluten you can have therapy and therapeutic trial.
At the same time you can consult a Gastroenterologist to have clinical evaluation and examination and investigations for any further management.
It is possible to rule out other problems that can have similar symptoms.
