Msg

what its MSG and is it related to Celiac at all? I ate peanuts and I think they made me sick. Is it in peanut butter too? What else is it in? I hate being sick all the time, I am so discouraged

MSG is monosodium glutamate, here is an article on it Open Original Shared Link

The section about "it may cause reactions in certain people" is my favorite part. Many celiacs report problems with it.

I personally get stomach aches and nightmares if I ingest it.

MSG is gluten free, but SOME ppl react badly to it (reguardless of celiac disease), most ppl do not seem to. How ever whenn your healing from celiac disease your system is weaker from the damage and you will often react to things now that will be "safe" for you when your healed. Dairy is a big example of this.

As for peanut butter, it could have gluten in it I guess, I only buy "natural" peanutbutter which has ONLY peanuts and salt in it, no chemicals, no dyes, no hidden junk, etc. Becuase of this I have not looked in to the ones liek Jiff, Skippy, etc that add all that junk in to it.

just as a heads up, I read somewhere that MSG may also be listed as "yeast extract" on ingredient lists... I've since seen yeast extract on some microwave meals and chips

MSG is gluten-free. I have no problems at all with it.
