People with coeliac, can being " glutened" be this bad?

I have another thread with more details( had a funny turn while out shopping!)in case I forget anything !
I'll try to be brief, been gluten free for about 18 months because after a very strict low carb diet I found I couldn't eat bread or pasta or even oats without getting a washing machine action in my guts, then diarrhoea with mucous and occasionally some blood.
Long story short, had some chicken with a light dusting of something powdery on thurs evening and have had a painful, tender abdomen ever since. It feels inflated and hurts to touch. It even hurts when i stand up and when my bladder is full . I had a mucousy bowel movement thurs evening , then diarrhoea x2 yesterday morning.
Saw gp yesterday who is referring me to gastroentlogist and said he thinks it's coeliac.
What do you think? Is this what it feels like if you accidentally ingest gluten?
Please help.

If you are coeliac then as I understand it the biopsy should give a definitive answer.

It should, helly - but only after going back on gluten for ~6w - by now, l4k's gut will have healed significantly as she's been off the gluten for some time.

The MRE is on Monday I'm worried about how I'll cope fasting from 12 pm sun night till 1:45. Hope it goes smoothly.
