My mom is having the same exact symptoms. I began to suspect Diabetes because she's having the 3 P's: Polyuria, Polyphagia, and Polydipsia. But, it's the same thing, everytime they check her blood sugar levels, it's normal. She's been on and off sick lately and I highly doubt she has been glutened. I didn't think of Diabetes Insipidus though, but that is a good suggestion. We have an appointment with an endocrinologist on Wednesday, I definitely think something is wrong with her sugar levels and she has a lot of similar symptoms. So, I don't have too much help to offer now, but hopefully the endocrinologist can help us discover the root of this, and if it is DI, I will be more than happy to tell you what our doctor suggests.
I know Diabetics are usually on a high fiber diet, and with being Celiac, it doesn't leave alot of options to get the fiber you need. So I would recommend fiber supplements if you aren't already on them, or uptake your brown rice and bean consumption. I know Konsyl fiber supplements are gluten free and you can find them usually at any store, walgreens, walmart, etc.
Again, I hope I can have more helpful information after Wednesday.

The superior doctor prevents sickness; The mediocre doctor attends to impending sickness; The inferior doctor treats actual sickness
God heals and the doctor takes the fee.
We all live in a house on fire, no fire department to call; no way out, just the upstairs window to look out of while the fire burns the house down with us trapped, locked in it.
We are all sentenced to solitary confinement inside our own skins, for life.
I took a deep breath and listened to the old bray of my heart. I am. I am. I am.
Dying is an art, like everything else. I do it exceptionally well. I do it so it feels like hell. I do it so it feels real. I guess you could say I've a call.
