Regards no gluten and not being able to go out drinking, just say you have 'leaky gut' (which tbh you probably do as gut health is a factor in this condition) and that as a result you have to avoid gluten, sugar, alcohol etc for at least 6 months or until the condition improves. Once you're out of this mess then you'll be able to go out with them again and enjoy yourself fully!
Most people aren't going to relate so it's better for your mental health to not tell them. This is good advice^^^^^^
