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

      Quaker Instant Grits, gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like they are naturally gluten-free, but not labeled gluten-free. https://www.quakeroats.com/products/hot-cereals/grits/instant-grits-plain

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way—your emotions are completely valid. A celiac diagnosis, especially at your age, is a huge adjustment, and it’s okay to grieve the foods and conveniences you’ve lost. Even with a supportive partner (which is wonderful!), the mental toll is real. Many of us have been there, staring longingly at ‘forbidden’ foods while feeling isolated or frustrated. It does get easier with time, though. The initial shock fades, gluten-free substitutes become more familiar, and you’ll find new favorites. But please be gentle with yourself now. If the sadness feels overwhelming, talking to a therapist or joining a celiac support group (online or in-person) might help. You’re not alone in this—we’ve all had those ‘why me?’ moments. Sending hugs (and solidarity) your way.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Gluten-Free Drinks

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While some radlers are made with gluten-free beer, many traditionally contain wheat-based beer, so it’s definitely good you double-checked. It’s surprising you didn’t have symptoms, but reactions can vary widely among celiacs. Some people are asymptomatic or have delayed reactions, while others feel effects immediately. Even if you didn’t notice symptoms, there could still be internal damage occurring, so it might be worth verifying the brand’s ingredients or contacting the manufacturer for clarity. In the future, sticking to certified gluten-free options or cider-based radlers could be a safer bet. Glad you’re feeling okay, but always better to err on the side of caution!
