I am incredibly allergic to M.S.G. It gives me a horrible, pounding headache that lasts at least 14 - 20 hours. The symptoms are like food poisoning without vomiting. It doesn't take much, about 2 tsp. of ranch dressing has been enough to make me sick for an entire day. I just avoid as much processed food, restaurant food and eat as fresh as possible.
I have had good luck with Cliff bars, the crunchy peanut butter ones. You might want to check your local health food store. Also, look on the internet for a recipe to make your own. Hey, I think I'll do that myself!
Aloha
