I noticed when ever I eat certain types of asian foods like PHO, DIM SUM, etc, I get drowsy and also get headaches? Im not use to eating take out foods with MSG.

I get bloated and a ringing in my ears...its an alergic reaction as is yours..
lots of people are alergic and dont realize it..

also gives issue with dry mouth, watery eyes. constricted throat..lots of side effects..

ask for NO MSG and most will comply or tell you sauce has it and cant be removed etc..
its an unneed product that is fucking up more kids than Ritlin
