<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have been diagnosed as celiac for almost 5 years. I, too, have found that many Chinese restaurants are willing to prepare food with no MSG. Many are also willing to steam vegetables and meat and serve them with steamed rice. While it's not the most exotic meal around, such a dish is usually very good, has more real food in it than do the standard menu offerings, and contradicts the recent reports that Chinese food has lots of fat. I have had varying success when I have asked waiters or chefs which sauces are gluten-free; some Chinese sauces may have hidden gluten. Anne Westman Griffin GA [log in to unmask]
