Symptoms have returned

Hi everyone! Just after some advise/to see if anyone has had a similar experience.

I was diagnosed with Coeliac in January at the ripe old age of 35 and quite out of the blue. Following this I (obviously) cut all gluten out of my diet. Everything started great, I was feeling better, the symptoms that had prompted my original trip to the GP went away (mostly urgent diarrhoea as soon as I woke up and loose stools a couple of times in the day). In March I had a follow up blood test and my markers had gone from 130 odd to 46 so looked like I was doing all the right things.

Fast forward to the end of May and my symptoms came back and haven't gone away since. At first I assumed I had been CC but surely they would have got better by now? For context, my household is completely GF, I make all of my own food when I go into the office, I have avoided 'may contain' to the best of my knowledge and I rarely eat out anymore (when I do I research the restaurant to within an inch of its life to make sure its as safe as possible). Since diagnoses I have pretty much stopped attending social situations for fear of CC and I haven't eaten at any friends or relatives houses.

Has anyone has similar experiences? I am pretty much freaking out because I am not sure when more I can do and I feel like it has all been for nothing. I really feel like I am trying my best and I'm just so sick of being sick.
