Hey Fibro Friends,
It is interesting that MSG is the topic here. I noticed a long time ago that MSG was a huge MIGRAINE trigger for me 2 of my girls, who also get migraines and have fibromyalgia-type symptoms. I so believe it is a trigger for the pain roller-coaster, and once the migraine pain begins, it just seems to spread throughout the nervous system.
And re what other foods contain MSG? You will be shocked how many foods contain it: canned soups, most flavored potato chips, cheetos, ramen soup, most taco/ burrito seasonings, gravy mixes, some deli meats. Most anything prepackaged that has a cheesy or meat flavor has Added MSG !! Nowadays it only takes a smidge to give me a headache; I ate 3 potato chips before I read the label and within 30 min, I was in bed with lights and tv off praying for the excedrin to hurry up already !!
