Thanks for your question. You can read more about Celiac disease (gluten intolerance) in this overview. You can also read this article about "wheat intolerance" that you may find interesting.

 

You should talk to your doctor about these symptoms you are experiencing. Eating chocolate can sometimes cause acid reflux symptoms, but it does not account for everything that is bothering you. I hope this helps.
