Re: Reason why MSG affects digestion?       11/12/06 03:58 PM Edit Reply Quote germanicus1991 Reged: 08/09/06 Posts: 36 Loc: Fort Worth,TX MSG is the sodium salt of the amino acid L-Glutamic acid (glutamate). It is one of 20 essential amino acids. By essential, it means that our bodies cannot make those so we must get them in the food we eat. This does not mean we need it in large quantities. Glutamate acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain and in the gut. When you get more than normal amounts of glutamate by eating things seasoned with it, your gut reacts. Some people are more sensitive than others. Those people get many types of reactions headaches/migranes, tunnel vision, racing heart and gut reactions include diahrrea. I had MSG reactions at least 20 years before losing my gall bladder. We can learn much about MSG on the internet that was hard to find before. Germanicus Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
