MSG can be a huge trigger for symptoms. It is an inorganic glutamate salt, and stimulates the NMDA pain receptors.

It triggers me hugely. Also too much nutrasweet... with its aspartic acid should be avoided. It is also a NMDA agonist.
Some supplements have aspartate in them... avoid those too.
Magnesium aspartate is one example.

Having adequate magnesium levels works as an NMDA antagoinst though, and that is why magnesium is so helpful for PNers and diabetics.
