Weight-Loss i think im sensitive to MSG

[wonderwoman]

for over a year now i have been having breathing problems and i think i have FINALLY nailed it down....to MSG! unfortunately almost everything has it including the protein shake powder stuff i was using sometimes. are there any low carb protein bars or shakes with no MSG in them? (keep in mind MSG has many hidden names) i'll even settle for non low carb.

Hi Wonderwoman,

I understand about the MSG, If I am not careful I can get migraines from it. I reccomend going to a whole foods type store and look for the bars or shakes that say organic, at the moment I cannot think of the names of organic nutrition bars. sorry The two protien shakes that I use are Scitec Nutrition Protien Delite and GNC Pro Performance Mega Isolate. as far as i can tell these two protien shakes do not have MSG. Good luck!

One of my Uncles who is around 70 years old and has had Bypass Surgery came to visit me a couple of years ago, his daughter [my cousin] came to take him out to lunch one day and when they came back from the Restaurant, all of a sudden he started having breathing problems and then his eyes starting puffing up, his face got swollen and then he just couldn't breathe so we rushed him to the hospital, when we did eventually find out what the cause of all of this was, it was MSG!.

the eyes puffing up and face swelling sounds like a true allergic reaction. mine is kind of weird and sometimes even delayed up to 24 hrs later so now i have to keep careful track what did i eat yesterday? i cant remeber squat. but i have noticed certain foods i kept eating was triggering the shortness of breath feeling. one of them was my protein shake which has calcium caseinate in it which is just a hidden name for MSG! i did not know this until i did some research.

thank you Julie for the reccomendations!
