When I first started eliminating just Monosodium Glutamate from my diet I found myself suffering from the same symptoms. This caused me to do more research and I found that there were many other ingredients that the food industry was using that triggered my allergies. All of these were, I was to find, flavor enhancers/excitotoxins/MSG in disguise. I have listed below all of the ingredients that we are aware of today. You should print yourself a copy and begin your new life excitotoxin free.
- Monosodium Glutamate (MSG)
- Glutamate anything
- Glutamic Acid
- Hydrolyzed anything
- Hydrolyzed Corn Gluten
- Hydrolyzed Pea Protein

- Caseinate anything
- Calcium Caseinate
- Sodium Caseinate
- Gelatin
- Aspartame (any artificial sugar)
The next ingredients listed do not contain MSG, but are added to activate MSG already contained in the food product. These two chemicals are very expensive and have no other function. If you find them on the label you can be assured that MSG is present.
