I used to just say i was allergic to MSG but it is much more complicated than that. i have to avoid things with:
Malted Barley (flavor) Natural Flavors, Flavors, Flavoring Modified food starch Barley malt Reaction Flavors Rice syrup or brown rice syrup Malt Extract or Flavoring Natural Chicken, Beef, or Pork, Flavoring "Seasonings" (Most assume this means salt, pepper, or spices and herbs, which sometimes it is.) Lipolyzed butter fat Maltodextrin, dextrose, dextrates Soy Sauce or Extract "Low" or "No Fat" items Caramel Flavoring (coloring) Soy Protein Corn syrup and corn syrup solids, high fructose corn syrup Stock Soy Protein Isolate or Concentrate Citric Acid (when processed from corn) Broth Cornstarch fructose (made from corn) Milk Powder Bouillon Flowing Agents Dry Milk Solids Carrageenan Wheat, rice, corn, or oat protein Protein Fortified Milk Whey Protein or Whey Anything enriched or vitamin enriched Annatto Whey Protein Isolate or Concentrate Protein fortified "anything" Spice Pectin Enzyme modified proteins Gums (guar and vegetable) Protease Ultra-pasteurized dairy products Dough Conditioners Protease enzymes Fermented proteins Yeast Nutrients Lecithin Gluten and gluten flour Protein powders: whey, soy, oat, rice (as in protein bars shakes and body building drinks) Amino acids (as in Bragg's liquid amino acids and chelated to vitamins) Algae, phytoplankton, sea vegetable, wheat barley grass powders
Lovely isn't it!!!! If I eat those things I have a night like I had last night. You're wondering what I ate? A McDonald's 1/4pounder with fries and a diet coke
Ok, so now you are thinking,'How do you know you are allergic:
