I'm really interested in learning if the elimination diet helps you b/c I've always heard that the only reliable and scientifically valid way to document gluten sensitive enteropathy was w/ a biopsy and that the food testing was hocus pocus. SO, if you have success that will be cool.
BTW, I'm not Heather but I would suggest that for the first month or so of eliminating gluten you also stay on the exact same diet you've been eating up until now- minus the gluten- and NOT add any other high risk foods to your diet. Otherwise, if your constipation remains a problem, you won't be able to tell if eliminating the gluten has helped.
Hope this helps. Can't wait to hear how it goes for you....literally and figuratively! lol
