Jeez. Twice now woken up with bad headache after Chinese take-away - MSG?
Twice now I have had a take from the local Chinese and woken up with the most awful headache - I've read that MSG can cause this symptom. Anyone had experience of this?
This has really put me off ordering another Chinese take out ever! |

I don't have this problem, but my friend experiences horrendous headaches after eating Chinese takeaway, which he attributes to MSG. Try another takeaway.

Yeah, I have just reported them to my council for an inspection. I think there is something that needs investigation.

Almost certainly dehydration - I find Chinese always makes me dehydrated. Just drink lots of fluid before you go to bed.
certainly does NOT sound like food poisoning at all! |

Yes I am for real, why? What's your problem? I have reported them because my stomach was upset all day and my head banging after eating their food! Sounds like food poisoning to me!
Maybe the food just didnt agree with you.

Stefan Gates did a tv show about this with a blind taste test for those who were adamant that MSG caused them sickness. They were proved to be wrong. IIRC they suffered the same symptoms from dishes not containing added MSG.

It's really odd. It's like a really bad hangover without having drank anything! But today's was just a killer - add to that a dodgy belly. I think the place needs to be inspected. But I will definitely stay away from MSG in the future. What do they put in that stuff for it to cause such an illness?
http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mon...tamate/AN01251 MSG can trigger off headaches. It is known as the silent killer a bit like salt. |

However, researchers have found no definitive evidence of a link between MSG and these symptoms.

I always thought MSG consumption affects only certain people. I've never had a headache after a Chinese.
