What foods are safe to eat?
Food that is completely free of gluten includes fruit, vegetables, fresh meat, fish, cheese, eggs, and milk.
Foods that contain wheat, barley, and rye should be avoided and replaced with rice and corn flour, for example.
These include bread, biscuits, cakes, pastries, puddings and pies, which are all usually made with flour containing gluten.
Wheat flour is also widely used in many processed foods.

Symptoms:
Bloating, diarrhoea, nausea, wind, tiredness, constipation, anaemia, mouth ulcers, headaches, weight loss, hair loss, skin problems, short stature, osteoporosis, depression, infertility, recurrent miscarriages and joint/bone pain.
Some symptoms may be confused with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), or wheat intolerance, while others may be put down to stress, or getting older. As a consequence, it can take some time before an accurate diagnosis is sought, or made.
On this same site, they don't recommend changing your diet to cut out gluten until you've been diagnosed by a doctor. They can tell if you have the disease by detecting antibodies.
