First and foremost, make sure that you are following a STRICT gluten free diet. If you are, then you will need a colonoscopy (you may have colitis, especially microscopic colitis, or a more serious condition causing diarrhea). I would advise you to see your gastroenterologist right away. I would also do a full diarrhea workup - there are many causes of diarrhea, therefore, comprehensive evaluation is needed.
If the diarrhea is secondary to celiac, then a strict gluten free diet will resolve it.
