If you’re curious about the MSG sensitivity I recommend trying other foods that are high in MSG and looking for similar sensitivities to foods like tomatoes, snack foods, and meat seasoning mixes, and condiments. If you don’t have sensitivities to those, it may be something else that’s causing the issue, like ginger, soy sauce, oyster sauce, etc.


Actually, in case of MSG, it's easier to try it directly, in chemically pure form.


I'm pretty sure it's not reactant grade MSG. But I wonder about breakdown products and adulterants that travel with kitchen-grade MSG.
