How can MSG allergy sufferers identify what contains MSG when it’s not required to be listed as an ingredient?
Most restaurants use MSG in their food preparation, but it’s not noted on the menu, as peanut products are. It can even be listed generically as “natural flavorings” as an ingredient. My friend developed a sudden and severe allergy, and died an agonizing death from anaphylactic shock, because she specifically asked the person selling it, and he said it didn’t (don’t think he knew). Can’t something be done?

eat at “safe” restaurants only. read labels, carry benedryl & your epi pen at all times, ask that your loved ones learn CPR, and follow up with your allergist.
unless something is marked with glutamin free, then never just take someones word for it, and always cary meds on etc, i am so sorry to hear about your friend, but when you have that type of severity in allergy then your doc is also responsible because they should have adviced you properly on the level of carefullness you need to use
i ate msg, make me fat. i have kind of a way to see where the glutamate is hiden.
1. if our heart keeps very fast when you smeel the food, probably has msg.
2.in case you acidentally eat msg, take some taurine suplement ( it worked in diabetics)
3. Avoid any processed food ( its the safest think to do)
4. There are 4 natural foods that have it naturally, that optional to avoid it but you feel much better if you dont eat them: corn,soy,diary and weast.
In restaurants, avoid chinese and in japanese eat without wasabi. Avoid any food in seasonings and french fries from restaurants, they usually put msg instead of salt on it.
i know that really hard to believe, but the big companies first think in money not in the clients heath…
