I checked it out a few years back but didn't pay much attention to it. I'll take a look again. Sounds interesting. Who knows it might be good for me.

It is thought that B6 and taurine may be an antidote to reversing the MSG negative reactions.

I'd use P5P for this B6 as it is activated and faster and safer.
Taurine would be at least 500mg a day up to 3 grams if necessary. Both are affordable and fairly common.

I get my taurine at Puritan's Pride.
This NOW brand is one I've used for many years. One a day of this is plentyl

Amazon.com: NOW Foods P-5-P, 5 mg, 6 Tablets: Health & Personal Care

Taurine is good for helping nerve functions, and also sluggish gall bladder. (it complexes cholesterol in the bile and allows it to pass more easily and preventing cholesterol gallstones.)

Taurine has recently been found to help tinnitus also.
It is a good investment for nerve pain IMO.

I endorse what mrsD has said about taurine and tinnitus.

I have been taking it at 1 g/day for about six weeks and it has helped with irritating tinnitus in one ear.

Sounds like a food sensitivity. You can have them to any food, and to very specific foods (like one kind of meat and not another). I was having rashes, hives, joint pain, brain fog, slurred speech, vestibular difficulties, sound processing difficulties, stomach pain, irritability, bloating, you name it. I found a functional medicine clinic and cried and begged them to test me and sure enough I have 72 food sensitivities, as well as sensitivities to household molds, medicine, and functional foods that I had been using all the time.

Symptoms of food sensitivities, which are a different biological response than allergies, can be weird and vague and can seem unrelated to food because they aren't intestinal symptoms always.

OMG, how do you know what to eat and what to avoid?

It's really hard, not gonna lie. I got a comprehensive test for a lot of money that tells me specifically what are safe and unsafe foods for me. I pretty much have to make all my food from scratch and be very careful about reading ingredient lists. Restaurants and pre-prepared foods are virtually impossible.

My husband has MS and after developing MS developed some weird food sensitivities that sound like what you describe. I honestly think its the weird neurology thing going on and who knows if it is even testable.
He found that eating beef would make him weak and fatigued, his stomach bloated. Then chocolate started to bother him. Both foods he had eaten fine and then he couldn't tolerate.

My story is odd. After getting CRPS I can't drink my diet sodas. I used to drink them every day and now they taste funny. A few other things taste off to me now too, though I can't remember right now what they are. So my sense of taste got oddly messed with. And while I know giving up Diet Pepsi isn't the end of the world... I miss it.

So far, knock on wood, I have no issues with any type of food.

I do get diarrhea sometimes (a few times a year), just out of the blue, and a little stomach upset, but I can't link it to a specific food up to this point or something else specific.
