Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I posted the below message about monosodium glutmate back in November. We have now found the source of DH's problems. It was caused by an enlarged prostate and retention of urine. He underwent prostate surgery and now, is much improved, including his energy level. I wonder if the pain he was suffering was misdirected in his mind, as he was complaining of stomach pain... pain just below the bottom of his ribcage, not the bladder area. This was after close to two years of complaints of the pain. He still has some pain, 3 months post surgery, but, his bladder is quite scarred and the Urologist said it may well continue to spasm due to the scarring. Best wishes to all, Bonnie " Has anyone had experience with Monosodium Glutamate reactions with LBD patients? " " My DH was taken to the hospital last night via aid car due to an extreme blood pressure rise. We had been out to dinner at our favorite Chinese restaurant the night before, and, he had eaten the leftovers for lunch. His high blood pressure seemed to appear after he had eaten the leftovers. He also had checked his blood pressure while picking up prescriptions at Walmart on the drive home after the restaurant meal, and it was high then also. I read on line that there are many reactions people can have to it, and, a vast rise in blood pressure is one on a long list of possibilities. There, however, is no set list, and there are so many variations of symptoms on the list, making it hard to rule out any of the possibilities.

Guest guest Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 It caused high bp and +3 edema in my mil which I believe caused extreme confusion anxiety crabbiness etc. I am not certain if it was direct from the MSG or the edema or both. It also caused her pounding headaches that she complained of. She never had trouble with it in younger days and even cooked with it. - Dorothy from cell phone > I posted the below message about monosodium glutmate back in > November.
