Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 I saw references to MSG and celiacs having problems with it. I double checked some of my resources that I use for a wheat allergy, and they say that MSG is a wheat source. I am not sure whether is is used in the processing or derived from wheat or what, I just try to stay away. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 That was me asking about it originally, Cheryl, and I really appreciate your taking the time to look it up - thanks! I think I'll stay away from it for now - fortunately the stuff MSG is in usually is so highly processed and has so many ingredients that are iffy that I'm likely to give them a wide berth anyway. > > I saw references to MSG and celiacs having problems with it.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 Just to confuse everyone, I have some chicken bullion marked Kosher for Passover (on Passover, Jewish people don't eat wheat) and one of the ingredients is MSG. I know there cannot be any wheat in the bullion, so maybe MSG can be made in different ways (like modified food starch) and needs to be checked with the manufacturer.

Guest guest Posted November 14, 2004 Report Share Posted November 14, 2004 I believe that rules for Passover, sometimes also known as the feast of unleavened bread, do allow wheat. The wheat can not contain any form of leavening, and must be baked very quickly, but wheat products such as matzoh are allowed. However, I have no idea what MSG contains!
