"I totally spaced since memory is always spotty, to say that the reason MSG or even natural glutamate in foods triggers us is because most of our wd symptoms are probably due to the overabundance of the neurotransmitter glutamate in our bodies (due to downregulated GABA receptors, glutamate is opposite to GABA, the calming neurotransmitter). Glutamate is the excitatory neurotransmitter. Consuming it seems to rev up symptoms and this is probably why.    \nI like this article on it: https://chriskresser.com/beyond-msg-could-hidden-sources-of-glutamate-be-harming-your-health/   \nI'm so glad you posted this because it just became clear why all my seemingly random food sensitivities make me sick, they have for years!! It's really a relief to know why. I can't consume anything below with getting sxs, not to mention all the food additives and msg itself, just in case anyone has this issue I'll put this list from the article:    \nNATURAL SOURCES \n\t•\tFoods matured, cured, or preserved, such as matured cheeses (Parmesan and Roquefort) and cured meats \n\t•\tFish sauce \n\t•\tSoy sauce and soy protein \n\t•\tMushrooms \n\t•\tRipe tomatoes \n\t•\tBroccoli \n\t•\tPeas \n\t•\tWalnuts \n\t•\tGrape juice/ red grapes \n\t•\tBone broths and meats cooked for long times (generally using moist cooking methods such as braising) \n\t•\tMalted barley used in breads and beer \n\t•\tWheat gluten \n\t•\tDairy casein \nGelatin and Collagen are also high and I was consuming a lot of this and bone broth on Paleo.   "
