Feels like I’ve had chemo – could it be more than just celiac disease?

@cmdavis88 It never hurts to get a second opinion, and it can be very reassuring to know you are on the right track. Make sure that the second opinion is from a really excellent gastroenterologist.
I know very little about celiac overall, just that it is caused by wheat. My son had it when he was a toddler getting his second-year teeth. At that time we were pre-internet so I researched everywhere I could to find info and sure enough, some children do get a form of celiac when teething. The poor little thing, if I didn't get to his diaper right away he would end up with raw skin, and the stench would knock you over.

I have had it since I was a child. I have been misdiagnosed and overdosed over the years with epilepsy due to it causing me to have a seizure at the age of 2. Narcolepsy due to the fatique of wanting to sleep all of the time. Bloating was blamed on common misconceptions of having a full belly, pain in the abdomen misdiagnosed as having a tummy ache from a full belly, and ADHD where they also had me on 1000 mgs a day 500 Ritalin for the ADHD and 500 grams of depokote. And so forth. Maybe it's nothing but it just feels like it may have manifested into something else.
