I think if you're only wheat free, it would be worth cutting out the other gluten things too and trying totally GF as you mention, coeliacs can very often mimic the others. I had a lot of water retention until a few months after I gave up all gluten and all my issues cleared up also. My daughter was the same and was intolerant to many foods which flared up her eczema etc but these others seem to have gone away since going GF and nothing else triggers her now. You could also have a quick check of your blood glucose levels too and make sure all okay? Also high salt intake and dehydration can cause water retention.

When your vitamins and minerals are GOOD - you will feel so much better.
I was diagnosed with Crohns over 43 years ago and Hashimotos 12 years ago. Currently feeling good - but still learning
