Re: Monosodium Glutemate/Bonnie

[Guest guest]

Hi Jan,

This has nothing to do with MSG, but when I saw the diverticulosis, I had to

respond.... this was one of the first 'signs' that surfaced with Mom that

indicated that something was very wrong... she had been taking fosamax for

several months (for bone density) and then the stomach issues started. I wonder

if there is a link between all this somewhere.

Hope you are doing well, dear Jan,

Hugs from NY,

Helene

the MSG. My husband had a reaction to it. He was choking up Phlegm and couldn't

stop. I didn't know at the time what was causing it. We were out to dinner the

first time it happened. I believe they tenderized meat with it. When it happened

again, it was at home. I read the ingredients on some of the cans I used at the

time and they had MSG in them, so I narrowed it down to it must be the MSG. This

was back in the early 2000s.
