Gluten is but one component in the complex structure of several grains. In celiac, consumption triggers antibodies that mostly attack the gut lining leading to cramping/diarrhea/pain. You are more likely to have a simple allergy to some of these items, not celiac. Blood tests that show specific antibodies in a person consuming gluten help define celiac. Intestinal biopsy is the standard for dx.

The relationship between gluten (wheat, barley, and rye) ingestion and a skin eruption is suggestive of Celiac but not fully confirmatory. Blood testing and even an intestinal biopsy may be critical to confirm the diagnosis.
