Msg Question.....safe Or Not?


Maureen73

Ok, I was diagnosed with celiac in July of '05, so I'm still learning....

Is MSG ok or not?

I thought it was off limits, however a friend's sister whose husband and son have celiac said that MSG is ok.

HELP!!

I've been avoiding everything with MSG in it (like Lipton Soup Onion Mix for dip) etc. I thought it was the culprit in making me sick.

Thanks for your help -

Maureen

To my understanding MSG is gluten free, but no the best to consume.

MSG, or monosodium glutamate, is a salt of glutamic acid. It is gluten free. However, many people, whether celiac or not, have adverse reactions to it. Learn more by clicking here: Open Original Shared Link

Well I am new here and can't say 100% from experience but I was given a list of things to look for with wheat/gluten base. I call it my NoNo list! ;) And MSG is on it. Don't know if it is in all things made with it or what. But it is on the list and we don't eat anything with it in.

I eat msg, it is gluten-free. That said it is not the best thing for your body. I just can't give up my gluten-free processed foods :P

Further down on that Wikipedia article it says: "Asian cuisine originally used a seaweed broth to obtain the flavor-enhancing effects of MSG, but today MSG is made by a fermenting process using starch, sugar beets, sugar cane, or molasses."

Dangerous Grains lists it in the "maybe" category... I wonder if they'll have to say where the MSG comes from now with the new FDA labeling?

I have never heard it not to be safe.

I have also read that MSG is supposed to be gluten free if its made in the US. However, my husband, who is the celiace in our family, absolutely cannot tollerate it. This caused me to do a poll at our support group potluck we have every eight weeks. Out of the 100 or so attending that day, at least 75% could not handle MSG. This leads me to believe that celiacs may be a bit more prone to MSG intolerance than non celiacs.

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      pdm1981 asks what I was also thinking. That is, refractory celiac disease.
    • pdm1981
      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?
