Re: Naomi - Soy sauce, MSG, etc

[Guest guest]

I suppose I could have been reacting to the soy sauce, but I also had

olive oil too. I get my soy sauce from an oriental grocer which

sells lots of Chinese and Indian foods and ingredients. The label is

in Chinese but it does have English translation too. The ingredients

are " water, soy bean, wheat flour, salt and sugar " . But the websites

you mentioned did say that soy sauce could have hidden MSG. So it

could be true that it has MSG, but I have never reacted to MSG

before. I have had lots of (greasy American version of)Chinese food

loaded with MSG and never had a flinch of an attack. Not until my

stress levels reached 11 on a scale from 1 to 10 did I get my first

attack 6 weeks ago. The only other attacks I have had were within a

few weeks of having each of my children, then went into remission for

years.

As far as Dr. Cabots book " The Liver Cleansing Diet " I would

recommend it. I got mine from my library. She also has a newer book

called " The Healthy Liver and Bowel " book which I have only glanced

at so far. It seems to have more recipes and be a little better

organized than the first book and perhaps more up to date. I hope

that is helpful.
