Manna jumps at me....as you may know Manna if often refered to as Bread. I don't know if Manna would be considered an ingredient, though. Maybe a funky way of listing wheat?

Just speculation on my part. :(

I don't know if Swedish Bitters contain wheat, but I just emailed the people at Angostura Bitters and they confirmed that it contains no gluten and the alcohol used is from fermented molasses, so that is safe to use.

I'm happy about that, because I was urged to take Angostura Bitters (a teaspoon or so) for upset stomach and other digestive problems, and I liked using it in the past.

Currently, I'm in panic, "everything has wheat until proven innocent" mode of eating, so I check first.

Hope you can use this. Sorry the thread is so out of date.

      Are you addressing possible/probable vitamin and mineral deficiencies through some serious supplementation?

      I’ve been avoiding oats and dairy and simply been eating more Whole Foods but I somehow always have symptoms.. I tried eating different food for a week including eggs meats and veggies alongside gluten free brown pasta and somehow I still managed to wake up today with a headache, anxiety, and just gi distress. It’s very annoying but I’m trying to find a suitable diet since I’m so young and just want to heal my intestines before moving onto things like milk and oats. I had a fear for awhile that I may have refractory celiac but I’ve noticed it wasn’t very common amongst newly diagnosed people.

      Welcome to the forum, @DanteZaffar! Are you still eating oats (even gluten free oats) and dairy? There are other foods besides those that contain gluten that can cause celiac-like reactions. We call this "cross reactivity" (not to be confused with cross contamination). Their proteins are similar enough in structure to gluten to trigger the same kind of reaction. Oats and dairy are perhaps the most common offenders. You might try eliminating these two from your diet for awhile and see if symptoms improve. With dairy, lactose intolerance can also be an issue but often resolves in time when sufficient healing in the small bowel lining has taken place.

      I thank all who have replied to my initial comment. After letting it sink in for a few days and since eliminating gluten I have to say I do feel some better so all is not lost. I have investigated and there are lots of gluten free choices I can make without giving up really anything. At some point I will attempt to make my own gluten free bread when I have nothing else to do and see how that works. I got to thinking even though annoying it's not the end of the world, this problem is manageable, and it can be a learning curve for sure. Maybe this is just another part of the aging process so I better get used to it. Thank you all again.
