John,
I am an non-biopsy proven celiac trying to live gluten-free in
Australia. Maybe things are diffrent over here but most Chinese
restaraunts are MSG free and advertise this. However we do eat
in one which has MSG and I simply ask them not to use it in any
of our dishes. MSG produces an immediate and nasty effect in me
not like gluten which is usually delayed. So my reaction is probaly
an allergy and not celiac reaction. Anyway I think if you know a
good restaraunt you should be able to specify no MSG and just like
all the other foods you buy from shops read the labels and avoid
the things you can't have. Enjoy your rice.
