Last year I was tested for a wheat allergy, it came back positive, I went off wheat for two weeks to check if the symptoms stopped. I was still eating dairy and they didn't, it was determined I did not have an allergy to wheat. The gastrointenstional doctor I see now said they ran further tests and that am I not allergic to wheat, I think this means I don't have a wheat gluten intolerance.

There is a difference between having a wheat allergy and gluten intolerance (I think...GFs can correct). You should still be tested for celiac.

Yeah, a wheat allergy, a gluten intolerance and celiac are 3 different things.
2 weeks isn't really long enough for an exlcusion diet - 3 weeks to 3 months is recommended. And a true exclusion diet should cut out ALL your likely triggers and then reintroduce them one by one. As you tested positive, you might want to cut out wheat and gluten now (as well as the dairy) and then reintroduce one after one month and then the other after another month. However,t his requires patience and diligence.
