Msg Allergy -- Will It Go Away?

Hi all -- Ok, I may be really "out there" on this one, but I'm asking anyway :)

At 31 years, I developed celiac during my pregnancy with my 2nd child. As I went gluten free and started healing, I found that if I ate something containing MSG, I felt the same way as when I was "glutened". I have read that a lot of people w/ celiac also are intolerant to MSG.

Here's my question -- once you are totally gluten free and healthy (which I am!!), can MSG be introduced back into one's system? Has anyone ever tried?

MSG is pretty unhealthy anyway, so it's probably better for me to MSG free, but I'd love to share a Dorito or Lipton's Onion Dip with my family every one in a while :lol: All of the summer picnic snacks are just taunting me :)

I don't want to make myself sick "on purpose", so I thought I'd post here.

Take care,

Maureen

Hi, my allergist just told me the other day that in the USA MSG is either wheat-based or beet-based. So other than the MSG issues generally, you might want to be sure of the source of the MSG.

My daughter was very ill four years ago and we went to an allergist who has a 2 year waiting list. The priest I worked for was a friend of his and he got us in. Long story short he fixed my daughter and saved her life. What he told us about allergies is that it takes 30 days for any food to get completely out of your system. After 30 days if it is an allergy (not something that you have developed antibodies to) you can reintroduce the food at one meal every 7 days. So say you are allergic to beef, wheat, rice, and milk like my daughter she could rotate those four things and have one of them every 7 days but it would not be wise to have all of them at a meal every 7 days. Lara has actually been able to put back every thing but rice it still makes her hurt. It took two years before she started not being careful and not caring what she ate. She was in high school and it was hard being a teenager. My brother and his son both have problems with MSG and have for years and it is not going away they get bad migraines everytime.

I don't think it will. It hasn't for me.

Its only gotten worse for me. I used to be able to eat a small amt. but now after having it for over 30 years I'm as sensitive as ever. I hardly ever eat packaged foods anymore. I make everything myself, as far as soups and gravies, pizzas, sauces but alot of celiacs do that anyway so it wasn't a big transition for me when I found out about the gluten. The only chips I'll have is a plain potato chip or I've had the rice chips by lundberg (fiesta lime) and I didn't react to those. I still only have them occasionally.

Although MSG may not be good for you and some people do react adversely to it, it is not gluten related, in the US.

As stated, it is always good to call a the company. If the MSG is wheat based, it is required by law to list that as an ingredient. Or it will show as an allergen statement....in the US.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
