Not bad, mostly
Although we've just had a chinese, and I am now suffering very greatly. It has become abundantly clear to me recently that I cannot process MSG. My middle hurts. *sadface*

I'm working on it with large amounts of water, but I'm wondering if alcohol might be a better idea....

Drown it with booze
it's definitely the way forward. And maybe some rennies or something?

In the long term the remedy is going to have to be no more chineses ever
For the moment, mr b3th's big baggy sweatpants and a comfy chair are as good as it gets.

That's lame :(
chineses are one of the best of all the takeaways. Why can't you tolerate MSG?

I don't know
but it's happened enough and with such regularity and speed, that I know it must be the food that's causing the problem. Apparently a lot of people have this reaction to MSG. Over the last year or so I've also become a bit funny with lactose.

My dad's a coeliac, so it could be worse. At least I can eat bread. Lovely, lovely, yummy bread...

Is MSG not just generally a bit bad for you anyway?
Other than the fact that it makes things mega-tasty.

probably
but it's the tasty tasty part that usually wins out.

No more, though. I have to admit defeat.

Last I heard
Was that MSG is a neurotoxin. So, if you think about it, your immune system is doing the right thing by reacting to it.

I might be wrong though.

Probably not though.
