<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> hello all, 23 answers, all say MSG is gluten free as long as produced in the USA. But all say that MSG is not good for us, we should avoid it anyway. Most of the answers helped me out far beyond their "duty". I got lists for travel food, personal stories with lots of helpful hints, lists for stuff to take along for dining out, and much much encouragement. I read all messages carefully and implemented all the hints and pointers. I thank everyone from the bottem of my heart. You don't know how much all your encouragement means to me. To my family I have been the laughing stock forever and sometimes even seriously abused for being "sick again"(when I was a child) and considered a basket case by my "friends" and my doctors. Being able to listen to your stories which sound like mine, gives me my feeling of self-worth and self-respect back. Many Thanks! Butze
