Ashelton80 Posted September 8, 2010 Report Share Posted September 8, 2010 Last night my husband grilled steaks. My stomach was completely empty and the steak was the only thing that I had eaten. About 30-45 minutes later I had a horrible headace that lasted almost 4 hours! The only thing different is that my husband had marinated the steaks in Dale's seasoning that contains MSG. It didn't really seem to effect my heart rate or bp or any other POTS stuff, but oh my word my head felt like it was going to explode. Does anyone else have problems with this and MSG?

sjc2378 Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 Yes! MSG is one of my worst triggers for migraines. I discovered this one a long time ago when MSG was much more prevalent in foods. I avoid it at all costs now! It makes me so sick everytime! And this started fir me before I even was showing POTS symptoms, when I was a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted September 9, 2010 Report Share Posted September 9, 2010 My Mother avoids MSG like the plague, but I am not affected by it like she is. My big migraine trigger is the estrogen drop at the start of my "monthly." Wines also give me nasty headaches, so I avoid them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
