I added a seasoning to my food that contains MSG. I have read that this is gluten free and I have read it is not gluten free. I feel sick now but it could be totally unrelated. Its called Sabor Latino (Sazon) made by Old Mansion Foods but I cant find anything about it. Any help.

All ingredients:Salt,MSG,Garlic,Spices,silicon dioxide,vegetable oil, yellow color, red color

This is what is says on the web site

Um, Hercules, soy sauce is fermented with wheat and usually contains gluten.

Unless they made it with gluten-free soy sauce.

Other than that it looks okay.

So are you saying it looks ok as in it does not have gluten??

Hmmm, monosodium GLUT-a-mate, makes me suspicious. Soy sauce most often contains wheat, if it doesn't, it costs quite a bit more. Usually, manufacturers watch their bottom-line and choose the cheaper choice.

Some people think if an ingredient list doesn't list "wheat," or "wheat-(something)" that the product is gluten-free. Doesn't it make sense that at least some of these people would be involved in manufacturiing?

Additionally; is the product made, blended and bottled on gluten-free dedicated equipment? In a gluten-free facility? If not, it's not gluten-free enough for me!

"Gluten-free" on a label in the U.S. is voluntary. It's largely up to the manufacturer to determine and state what is in their product. I would not buy that product.

No, I was just saying that soy sauce usually has wheat in it.

You should call them and ask if the soy sauce they used was a gluten free soy sauce.

Other than that it looks okay

The cheapo chinese soy sauce sold in most grocery stores is gluten free as well, it just tastes like crap. Judging by the ingredients, this is what they are using. So yes it looks to be safe.

That's 'MSG' Doesn't contain gluten but it can have adverse affects on people--stomachaches, 'D', headaches...

The ingredients in the soy sauce are listed in parentheses and none of them are sources of gluten. As mentioned, MSG causes reactions in some people, including some celiacs, but it is gluten-free.

Both of your items look gluten free. Like Psawyer said, that soy sauce has it's ingredients listed and none contain gluten. Plus the company SAYS it's 100% gluten free, so I dont think they would then use soy sauce that contained gluten. And MSG does not have gluten even if it SOUNDS like it does. You could just react to msg, as I hear that a lot of people do. Or maybe it was something else.

It must be from the Chrons I guess.

      Hey everyone. I'm a young adult who had very high iron in 2024. 64% saturation 160 ferritin. In 2025 I had far lower iron. 26% saturation and 130 ferritin. I know this is still in range but it seems to be a large drop. That combined with the fact that I developed some intermittent joint pain between the two years makes me wonder if I could be celiac. My dietary intake of iron was pretty steady (mostly in the form of red meat). I did carnivore (therby eliminating gluten) for a bit after the second test and felt improvements in my joints and digestion. I still consume gluten occasionally socially, for religious reasons, and through cross contamination/food sharing. For these reasons, I would need to know if I had it, because although my lifestyle is low gluten its not at the strict level it should be if it turned out I was celiac. I will get a gene test first and hope I don't have DQ2.5,DQ2.2, or DQ8, but if I had any combination of those do you guys think I need proper screening through a gluten challenge / blood test? Other context. From 2024-2025, my b12 stayed about the same in the mid 600s folate went up slightly, but I heard it takes longer for celiac to affect the absorption of these. ANA negative, CRP low, ESR low.  I don't know how much noise exists around the saturation and ferritin, but it caught my eye and Celiac seemed like a possibility. I'm under no illusion that it is probable that I have celiac, only that it may be worth screening given my overall profile.

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"
