even if you were eating gluten at the time of the celiac test, you could still get a false negative. And celiac has been found to cause the joint pain, headaches, etc. and other non-gut problems that you experienced.
If you can track this down, the February 2003 Today's Dietitian had an excellent article on celiac testing, the different types of celiac, the different types of tests, and the difficulty of getting any type of accurate diagnosis. I really, really wish that article was on-line because it's the best thing I've ever seen on the topic, and quite shocking.
