MSG (Monosodium Glutamate) and joint pain

Short video of my experiences after eating food containing Monosodium Glutamate or MSG for short.

I had been frequenting my local Chinese takeaway, I actually love prawn chow mein. However, the MSG in the prawn chow mein does not love me. I started to get really bad joint pains and a big lump or inflammation particularly on my left wrist, so painful and made me quite irritable. I started to look closely at what I had been eating and realised that the only different thing in my diet was the prawn chow mein. Narrowed it down to the liquid sauce containing MSG that they add to the chinese food.

Spoke to the woman in the chinese takeaway andshe says that each time I come in I should request that it should not be added to my food. Stopped eating that stuff for a few weeks and felt much better. The next time I went in the takeaway, I requested that MSG should not be added to my food, no side effects to report after that. Also, the food looks a lot brighter and lighter without the sauce containing MSG, which normally give a brownish looking chow mein.

I still have a bit of a lump on my wrist, but it has gone down significantly and the pain has pretty much vanished after requesting that the MSG be taken off my menu!
