My daughter brought me a flavoured water drink assuming it would be gluten free ,  All the ingredients with exception of the last one proved to be gluten free , however the last ingredient is  calcium disodium  edta ,  calcium disodium is listed as being gluten-free , what about the EDTA is it? 
 

I only had about 2 oz and had a subtle reaction.  Malic acid ,  is gluten-free , but I see there is is an indication that  Some celiacs can react to this ?  Interestingly I have never really been a fruit lover !

EDTA salts are chemically synthesized.  It is very unlikely that the ingredient would be contaminated with gluten.

EDTA has been on our safe list for over 15 years:

My body after the gluten challenge had problems with additives, fillers, stabilizers etc. even if gluten free. I had to keep a food dairy. If I got muscle aches, joint pain, flushing or other symptoms of inflammation  from a product I put it on the do not eat list. I noted which ingredients were a problem and avoided those. I kept my additive list to the least amount possible usually 3 then in time 5 or less worked.

Good luck

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thank you for checking in about choline. I do meet me recommended amount on a plant-based diet already, per my nutritionist. Thankfully, I am not intolerant to soy and the cruciferous veggies I enjoy!

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      By TraceyG · Posted

      @Wheatwacked thanks for your input. I am fully committed to being gluten-free if I truly have celiac disease.  I suppose my question is more so wondering if that blood test means I definitely have celiac disease. I had one doc look at the results and tell me to ignore them if I don’t have the classic celiac symptoms. The next doc (a few months later, when viewing the same results) said the results were suspicious and might mean gluten sensitivity, but then had her nurse call me later the same day to say I actually have celiac disease based on the results. So my care team seemed a little unsure. It sounds like, from this forum, that the general consensus is any abnormal blood results indicate celiac.

      Celiac Diagnosis from Bloodwork Only?

      Hello @TraceyG, welcome.    I know it is hard.  Giving up gluten is like losing a lifelong friend.  But in this case it is not a friend.   Your doctor is your friend and be thankful he is proactive with you. There is no need for the biopsy. Posistive is positive.  Unless you are looking for proof you are not.  Be sure to ask about vitamin and mineral deficiencies tests from the doctor. If you are vegan for the health benefits, reconsider. To get the daily Adequate Intake of Coline (between 500 mg and 3500 mg) you would need to eat 10 cups of cooked brocolli.      If you continue to eat gluten, even small amounts, it will come back on you.  You may experience up to 15 days of withdrawal from the gluten and cravings may be strong.  Gluten activates the opiod receptors, numbing you to the pain.  Gluten is addictive.  Gluten Addiction  Eating a little gluten is like playing with matches.      Recent statistics say 40% of first degree relatives have Celiac Disease, also.

      I would love some opinions. My Tis.Transglut.Ab IgA results were 29.9, with the normal range being 0-14.9.  My PCP said I have celiac disease, based on these results. I asked for a referral to GI, but they can't get me in for 6-9 months! I think I will start gluten-free now, and begin eating gluten again for at least 1 month prior to the biopsy. I know the GI biopsy is the gold standard, but is it reasonable for my PCP to diagnose celiac with just the blood results? I do not have classic celiac symptoms, but have struggled with some mystery peripheral neuropathy and joint pain for years now. Looking at symptoms, I have suspicion for family history of undiagnosed celiac (mom with lactose intolerance, aunts with sjogren's and non-hodgkin lymphoma). I am 39. I don't think I will be someone who can easily and quickly tell the difference in my body from not eating gluten (or getting glutened once gluten-free), so I feel that gluten-free trials will be tricky. If it's relevant, I surely consume smaller amounts of gluten and occasional bread, but my diet is vegan and fairly free of gluten (maybe why bloodwork numbers weren't higher?)

      Please do not consume this if you have celiac disease. One of the ingredients is barley.
