Does anyone else get these? I've found that any free-glutamate food causes me to twitch (in moderate doses) and fatigue (in high doses)

The worst offender so far was a packet of chips (yeast), and a very MSG-laden Italian restaurant meal.

I realize that the mayo-MSG myth is half based off racism, but I think there's a kernel of truth, which is that too much free-glutamate just causes cellular excitation. Meaning the cell is expending energy faster than it can create it.

    Are you sure it simply isn’t an electrolyte imbalance?

    100% sure because other much saltier foods don't do it. No medications either
