The findings are not diagnostic for celiac but are sh0owing some non-specific inflammation. You will need to follow up with the doctor who obtained the biopsies. It's also important to know if you were on a gluten free diet at the time of the upper endoscopy.

Gastrointenstinal
A lot going on. You need to get a good history from a competent physician. Chances are you have multiple explanations and different diagnoses for all of those symptoms.
Swallowed Bottle Cap
It should pass but it may be hard to prove since you may not ever see it in the stool. If it is a plastic cap, then it will also be very hard to see on xrays. If there is any concern READ MORE

If it is a plastic cap, then it will also be very hard to see on xrays.

I cannot say with confidence what caused or did not cause your prior pancreatitis. In general, if there were no gallstones in the gallbladder when it was removed, then the gallbladder would not usually be a cause of pancreatitis unless there was a lot of sludge.
It seems reasonable to try some modest intake of alcohol. I would be careful and just drink one glass at a time, maybe 1-2 times per week.

If you don't want to take laxatives, which you probably should, then you will need to take a lot more fiber in the diet (including metamucil or citrucel) and increase fruits and other natural laxatives like prunes, kiwis. I would also suggest drinking a laxative tea such as Smooth Move.
Gastric bypass
It's ok. There is no contraindication to ibuprofen.

Polypectomy and anal
If the polypectomy was done anywhere besides the rectum, more proximally, e.g. in the sigmoid or transverse colon, then there should be no issue with regard to anal sex.

Most fecal incontinence occurs when there is diarrhea or loose stools. So the only medicines that can help are anti-diarrheals to solidify the stool.

She needs a full evaluation by a GI doctor. It's unusual to have both constipation and stools leakage, which is called fecal incontinence (FI). Should be evaluated for anal sphincter weakness and colon function. Many GI doctors are not accustomed to seeing FI patients, so try to find one who has expertise in this condition.

Yes that makes sense.
Intense Bowel/Lower Stomach Burning
Maybe you have irritable bowel syndrome. This is best diagnosed and treated by a GI doctor.
