Some people react to foods with tingling, etc. Nightshades (including hot sauces and peppers) can be difficult.

MSG in processed foods is also a trigger for some.

Histamine containing foods also can cause problems.
More on histamine here:
Histamine reactions and PN:

One has to keep a journal of foods eaten to find correlations with symptoms. Sometimes it takes several hours or a day before the reaction manifests.
If you eat something every day... hot sauce at least once a day for example, stop it for 2 weeks, see how you change if anything, and reintroduce it. If you react to it, then that is an answer for you to listen to.

The taurine is a good thing to try.... at least 1000mg a day. I used to use 500mg a day for my gall bladder and didn't notice any other benefits. But raising to 1000mg a day was enlightening, as Kiwi says. Taurine stabilizes nerve membranes, and helps with insulin resistance, and improves bile flow for GI stability.
