I blow up like a bullfrog. I get a three day migraine that puts me completely out of commission, until I discovered a particular medication to combat this horror.

I went to a Chinese restaurant in 1986, ate something with MSG in it, and was in a dark room for three days after.

I made the connection much later when I repeated the pattern and discovered the situation.

I tried again in 1991, thinking people had gotten with it on this toxin, and the waiter said, no we don’t use MSG.

Next day hubby freaked out at how I had simply blown up like a balloon. THe headache was memorable.

It’s not like the much preferred natural childbirth, which is over in a mere 12 to 36 sleepless hours, and the ripping and repair work, which I have experienced.

It is much worse than that.

Restaurant food must be carefully chosen, and labels carefully perused.

Living in Germany fro four years was not a problem at all in this regard, as they don’t fool around with Chemicals. They eat food.

I did have an anchovy pizza there once and OOh I remember the days that followed.

It, like so many similarly processed meats, soups, sauces, and processed meals, must be avoided.

Never have I ever in the ensuing 20 years re entered a Chinese restaurant.

Names for it are hidden, and the FDA is fine with that, Autolysed protein, Natural flavor, and other things I have long forgotten as my food shopping has relegated me to the outer edges, and to Whole Foods.

That these people can write this trash, and I expect nothing of real value from the BI, is exactly why I don’t fool around with any substance that does not prove, nor seem to be safe.

They lie.
