well, then the times they went into anaphylactic shock from restaurants that sworn they used none are weird gags to play :shrug:

they rarely eat out and make everything from scratch, which honestly is a good choice regardless

edit: it's not an 'oh it bothers me, i swear' allergy for them and is a pain to safely eat while traveling but yeah i'm sure it's an act

If someone legitimately went into anaphylactic shock from glutamate they would probably already be dead. It's in tons of foods, it's an amino acid that your body produces, and even the people who claim to be sensitive to MSG don't generally claim that they have that sort of reaction.

Not saying your friend didn't go into anaphylactic shock, but like, are they really, really, really sure it's actually MSG they had a reaction to?

bingo. not doubting they’re allergic to something. extremely doubtful they’re allergic to msg. glutamates are in a lot of poo poo. including your own body. it’s literally the most abundant amino acid in humans. simmer down.

possibly? I haven't interrogated them, just that that as a longtime family friend we've seen them go through a lot due to it

avoiding additive and naturally high occurring MSG was the key and they've generally fine, but it's makes for a restrictive diet and lifestyle

it could be they're simplifying the explanation; I'll admit I was very young when they told me about it and as an adult I don't want to pry

if it's adjacent as fart simpson pointed out, then avoiding it as an additive is a shorthand and I've clearly misunderstood or missed some information and readily admit that

What i do know is my mom had to wait for the ambulance with them at least once and they've given up on eating most anywhere after the severity of the last time

edit: I understand you're all calling out something obviously dubious, and I appreciate that. I clearly didn't understand this person's specific issue and my generality/misunderstanding didn't help

i assume fart was just being his average rear end in a top hat self. you’re not likely going to survive a sodium allergy either considering it’s one of the most important elements in the body, responsible for all sorts of cellular regulation mechanisms.

again, not suggesting there’s no allergy, i’m just extremely doubtful it’s msg. there have been a bunch of studies on msg and they couldn’t even find someone who’s allergic to it. food allergies are hard to diagnose because of how many components are in the things we eat and it’s entirely possible that there’s something else that isn’t necessary for life that generally occurs in comparatively high concentrations alongside foods that are suspected to have msg.

I think you're right that it's adjacent and she's using a shorthand to avoid exposure. I know it's gotten worse over time to the point where it's severe, so identifying the true cause isn't worth the risk

edit: idk, I know the reactions are real and I'd like my godmother not to die because someone thinks it's funny on the internet so it struck a bit of a nerve. I know that's not your intent! but still

people can have severe psychosomatic reactions too, fwiw, and that doesn't make it any less real of a reaction even if the cause is misplaced. otherwise i'd put my money on something else used in a lot of asian cooking like shellfish or something, as others have said.
