I just wanted to let everyone know that I now know from experience how dangerous MSG can be to IBSers. My mom made chicken soup on Sunday night. She was going to use the chicken broth she'd been using for years, but I recently noticed that it contained MSG, so I asked her to use my organic broth instead and she kindly obliged. I had it for dinner that night and felt fabulous. Then last night she wanted to add some more broth so there would enough leftovers for the whole family. She had an opened can of her broth in the fridge and asked if I thought it would be okay if she used it, and stupidly I said sure, go ahead. Then last night about an hour after dinner, boom, I got the first attack I've had in months. Luckily I headed it off with Pepto and Bentyl, so it never got to full-fledged D, but I felt like garbage and still do today.
To make a long story short, the only thing I can possibly think of that was different was the MSG in the chicken broth. So if you've been putting off buying organic broth, please learn from my experience and do it! I will never underestimate the dangers of MSG again.
