Does anyone else have an allergy to this? It gives me terrible migranes so I have to be very careful with what I cook and eat. Just wondering if anyone else has this allergy.

YES!! I do, I have to watch it also. If there is very little in the product I can get away with it, but otherwise I'll get a migraine from hell. When I was a child I couldn't eat Doritos, but now I can, maybe they lowered the amount in them. Now I have to watch the cheeses I eat, which sucks cause I eat it like a rat, LOL!!

I hate MSG! My tongue swells up and it is so painful... I am totally amazed at how much stuff it is in, even kids stuff... and it has like 12 different name as well.

Both of my parents are more allergic then me. My mom has almost a asmatic reaction to it and has problems breathing she has gotten so bad that she has an epi-pin and an inhaler to help her breath if she accidently gets some. My dad reacts with breathing problems but his face and hands swell as well. They have to watch everything they buy and there are soo many different names that it can be called and it can also be listed as Natrual flavoring and spices or seasonings. It's a shame because it is not an igrediant needed in food.
