This crap is in almost everything. I'm 63 and I know by my reaction this stuff makes me nuts. I never thought I had a problem with the stuff until recent years. Is anybody else sensitive to MSG?

lol yes! I've been dealing with reactions to MSG and allergies for the past year! I swell up, my face gets all red and blotchy, itches and hurts...

They say most causes of reactions to MSG is chemical and very few are actual allegoric reactions. Most people don't realize too that not only is MSG a preservative it's also commonly found in Wheat Gluten and other natural grow plants. I've done a lot of research on it and there are some great websites that you can find from Google if you want to stay away from MSG.
 
MSG gives me a headache. I try to stay away from it.

It gives my wife headaches. I've gotten hives on my hands and lower arms several times in the last year, and I'm starting to wonder if it might be MSG related.

MSG does have one good use, though. I used it on my legs and hands after I got tangled up with a Portuguese Man-O-War, and it took the poison out of the wounds fairly quickly.
 
The stuff is in everything. Vitamin supplements that use "gelatin" as a binder. MSG is in that. Short of cooking everything from scratch anymore, I don't know what to eat.

I'd get the supplements that don't have gelatin as a binder... they make them...

Also... I don't know where you buy meat... but find out if your store cuts the meat themselves or has them shipped in...(Wal-mart meats have MSG)

I get steaks from Kroger or HEB...

Other companies are trying to stay away from using MSG because there has been such a high death toll due to the use of MSG... you may have to look for it... but you can find foods and places to eat that don't have or use MSG...
 
I eat that crap and 20 minutes later I'm an Atlas rocket - 3 stage lift off and all.

Beats the hell out of Metamucil for me.
 
get "sleepy"

So I'm lucky..

BTW one of the three biggest lies in the world is when the waiter in a Chinese restaurant say
"Oh no, no MSG!"
