Guest guest Posted May 7, 2002 Report Share Posted May 7, 2002 Several years ago my son had terrible reactions to msg. Here are some of the foods we had to avoid as they can contain msg...(after three years on the NT diet almost none of these foods affect him anymore). It's my understanding there different kinds of msg, some that occurs naturally and some that are chemically created. hydrolyzed soy protein autolyzed yeast natural flavor soy sauce tamari corn peas mushrooms modified food starch nutritional yeast There are a couple others I'm missing. It's been a few years since we had to watch things so closely. I'm afraid I've forgotten what they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My officemate has terrible problems with fibromyalgia that seem to be MSG based, and she keeps triggering it but isn't sure what she's eaten that causes it.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2002 Report Share Posted May 8, 2002 I was at a health food store and ran across a book that was about MSG. I can't remember the name or who it was by. It was maybe 100 pages or so long. It had a fairly extensive list and explained why certain foods cause problems. We were in the same position. I thought I had removed all the msg containing foods but my son kept getting sick. After reading his book I realized we were eating peas and mushrooms. Once I pulled them out we didn't have any more problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 11, 2002 Report Share Posted May 11, 2002 This list seams unrelated. I have MSG problems and do have trouble with hydrolyzed vegetable/soy protein, some soy sauce, and some soy products. Some brands of tofu are fine and others I'm running to the bathroom. When I'm not using my kefir I seem to have more problems with legumes all together. (gas, cramps, constipated, stiff neck and groggy headache feeling. Lately I've been using fermented and cultured foods often and it has reduced much of my problem with MSG even. I eat mushrooms, nutritional yeast, peas, corn and tamari sauce with no problem. I always buy the cultured tamari. Rondi >Several years ago my son had terrible reactions to msg.
