Label on magnesium product


Genaveve

Recommended Posts

I have found some magnesium citrate that i am very interested in buying that has gluten free written on it but also says in the ingredients list that it's "Made in a facility that also handles Milk, Soy, Egg, Gluten and products thereof." 
It is made of 100% magnesium so does that mean i am still safe to eat it or would it be recommended not to?

Thank you in advanced

-_- unsure I just use Natural Vitality Calm...thing about magnesium and celiacs is you often have to find your dose. We do not absorb it as well as normal people with our damaged guts and have to find our dosing by dosing to tolerance. A scale is suggested as a tsp can vary as much as 8g (2x the dose) I have found depending on how it is scooped. Start with 1/4tsp or 1-2g first 2-3 days then up it by 1/4tsp or by the gram til you get loose stools then back it back down a bit this is called dosing to tolerance. The more active you our physically or more stressed you are will cause you to deplete magnesium more, so your dosing effectiveness might vary a bit.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
