Good Information On Msg---Most Likely Would Affect Pots Patients

[Maxine]

I found this link while looking up oriental salad, and noticed that raman noodles were used in the recipe, and the seasoning packet is used also. I know for sure the seasoning packet used has MSG. My son loves raman noodles, and on occasion I would ask for just a small bite because it is tasty. However, I would never consider eating a normal serving size, as it would cause my POTS to go into a tail spin. I found that MSG is in so many things, and is also used under other names such as "natural flavors", "soy protein" ect....

I'm sure it can't be good for POTS!

I found the site http://msgmyth.com/ a couple years ago and swithced my diet around to avoid loading up on foods with high glutamates (hidden MSG). For me it does make a difference. I try to eat less processed foods and avoid protein powders and bars etc. which all have some version of Soy Protein Isolate or Concentrate. However, I have no problem with tofu or soy milk etc. It's important to remember that even natural foods like tomatoes especially when cooked, contain very high levels of free glutamates. Everyone reacts differently. And it may be the glutamate load in any one meal as opposed to any one particular food.
