MSG Has Gluten In It Right?

I don't know. The doctors who live and breath this stuff every day telling me that this is what they have found is good enough for me. :lol:

This is definitely your right to trust doctors, but I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. If they knew what they were doing they wouldn't call it "practicing" medicine lol. Many people on this board have been misdiagnosed by doctors, laughed at, told they are crazy, told they don't have celiac because they're overweight or because they don't have diarrhea, that symptoms are all in their head, and/or a combination of the above, and more. Then later they are diagnosed. Just because someone has a medical degree doesn't mean they know everything, or much of anything.

I agree. Not to mention that the FDA also declares things like aspartame, floride and other toxic substances safe..doesn't necessarily make them safe. :blink:

Just because someone says something is ok...doesn't mean its ok, it's just what someone says...Do your own research. Your body, your mind, you're allowed to decide what goes in your body or not. Don't trust that organizations like the FDA are going to tell you the truth. Find out for yourself, through alternative sources.

Peace and Love!

MSG is a problem for some people, but it has nothing to do with gluten.

There are a lot of celiac and gluten intolerant people that are also unble to have msg. I am one of them and the msg makes me much sicker

than the gluten. It seems to be a lot easier to omit gluten than msg as well since it can be in many products under other names with a lesser percentage of msg in the ingredient. Possibly it is because our intestines are already damaged and more sensitive to the damage of msg. I don't really know but I would suggest if you have celiac you should also avoid msg. My grandson had seizures and has lessened them by not eating msg and he is a celiac as well.

thanks for all the great info on this site.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
