Calcium disodium edta


Bonnie M

Recommended Posts

Bonnie M Newbie

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

      The form of the magnesium is important. Go for one that has high absorbability. Most of us opt for magnesium glycinate. Mag citrate is also good. Don't settle for the oxide forms. They aren't absorbed well and tend to have a laxative effect 'cause they just draw water into the colon a' la Milk of Magnesia. Costco is a good place to shop for things like that. Also, good bone and dental health involves vitamin D. Are you taking a dedicated D3 supplement? Have you had your D levels checked? In many ways, vitamin D is turning out to be a master vitamin of human metabolism and celiacs are often low on this one. What was the numerical score on your IGA along with the...

      It doesn’t specify if it’s TTG I’m not sure how to tell for that. That would be so sad. We never eat out I try to be so strict. Yes many dental products have gluten! I only use ones that don’t on myself.    No follow up procedure has been done for healing. That is something I will ask about. Thank you for the suggestion.    I don’t take any Magnesium. What would be a good supplement?

      Is that TTG-IGA that is slightly elevated? That could indicate you are still getting some gluten in your diet. That should be within normal range I would think if you were truly gluten free. As a dental professional have you looked into the issue of gluten in the products they use in your profession? There are threads on this forum and also articles I think dealing with that issue. Have you had a follow-up endoscopy to check for healing of the small bowel villi? Also, are you taking any magnesium supplements for bone and dental health? Very important. It works together with calcium.

      I’ve had GI issues since I was a baby! They never did any testing and always said diet issues and constipation. Things got a lot worse when I hit 25, eventually got a diagnosis and I am currently 29. Yes, just recently saw my GI doctor in January and things looked pretty good. Very slightly elevated IgA but IgG was good. My ionized calcium is elevated too. I also have hashimotos but my TSH was good.

      Do you have any sense of how long before your diagnosis the onset of your celiac disease may have been? For most of us, there are years that pass between the onset and finally getting a diagnosis and by that time damage has already been done to body systems. May we ask your age? Also, have you had any follow-up testing since diagnosis to check for celiac antibody levels or healing of the villi?
