My wife gets a migraine within minutes of eating something with MSG. In fact, we figure something has MSG after the fact by the migraine. Homemade asian foods don't seem to bring it on as we're careful to keep that one ingredient out.
- tptacek 11y agoDid you try the things I suggested here? https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=10866718 https://news.ycombinator.com/edit?id=10866718 It would be really interesting to discover someone who was genuinely sensitive to monosodium glutamate but not to sodium or free glutamates in other foods. I'm not sure how that would be explainable. There have been many blinded experiments looking for glutamate reactions (using MSG as the vector), and they're not inconclusive; they appear to refute "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome".
