<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear List: What's the scoop on MSG for celiacs? I know from various articles that one shouldn't consume MSG, period, due to the damage it does to the neurons and brain through the blood-brain barrier. There are additives which ALWAYS contain MSG, one of them being sodium caseinate, which I'm finding in a lot of gluten-free foods. I believe USA-made MSG doesn't contain gluten, but what about MSG (being an excitotoxin) simply causing problems for people with an autoimmune disease? I will summarize the responses. Cecilia
