I first had stomach problems a few years ago and figured out I was lactose intolerant, about half a year ago things got worse and more and more things started bothering me. I did go gluten free. I didn't have any tests for Celiac so wasn't 'told' I just tried cutting it out, as well as many other foods to see what the response was. I've slowly been incorporating it back into my diet with pretty good success. I don't think gluten is what was bothering me.
The thing I did learn from cutting out gluten, all lactose and a bunch of other stuff is that there are so many hidden ingredients on food. Today for example, I went out and bought bagels, I couldn't find and bread that didn't say 'may contains traces of egg or milk ingredients'
so short answer, is no, you don't have to cut out gluten, but it probably wouldn't hurt for a while. The main thing is to just keep track of EVERYTHING that you're eating, and it's really tough.
