I used to get debilitating headaches every few months. They were the
"cluster headache" type which I've also seen called "common migraines"
to contrast with the "classic migraines" that have visual effects.

Back in 1999 I went on Atkins for the weight loss. I read his book then
several of his books. I read his claim that following his plan prevents
headaches. Yeah, right, whatever, authors claim all sorts of stuff.

Since 1999 I have had exactly one cluster headache. It was during a
month of extremely high stress work when I ate food with little overlap
to what I learned is good for me. His claim was true in my case.

Following the Atkins process taught me that wheat causes assorted
symptoms for me. I know following his process, and even now with half
hearted efforts towards low carbing I still get no cluster headaches. I
have no idea what exactly made the difference.

Diet has a large effect on headaches.

THe problem with that is that even if they do not add it to the food, it is
still in the wok that gets used time and again. Washing it out doesn't take
all the MSG used in other dishes it is used for.

That sounds good. I'll try it sometime!

Aha! So that's it. I haven't seen them yet (I've looked in both
dried and canned beans), so maybe low carbing isn't as popular here.
Gluten alternatives seems to be taking up shelf space around here.


Sounds like a "baby's first bean" type.

Not a low carber; never bought into it although I can see where it
might help with weight control or loss.

I suspect that caffeine withdrawal can give anybody a headache,
provided that they were at high enough dosages before cutting off.
That's why they put caffeine in headache remedys such as Anacin.

You could probably find out if your SIL really was having a bad reaction
to MSG but it won't be easy. I'm not suggesting that you go out and try
to do this. My point is that it's easy to have results of informal
testing to come out the way you expect it. No matter, if your SIL has a
bad reaction to MSG for whatever reason, she should stay away from it.

They are also lower fat than green soybeans, and like other soybeans
are complete protein.

The main issue is that they are hard to find dried as opposed to
canned, and when you do find dried ones, they can take forever to cook.
If you're happy with the canned product then they are a great
source of nutrition.

People smoking doesn't bother me too much. My dad used to smoke a whole
bunch when I was growing up. He must have quit 40 years ago.

The good thing about smoking as opposed to drinking is that smoking
won't make your father come home and beat the wife and the kids. Not
that I think smoking is any good - our friend just died of cancer. Heck,
she was smoking through chemo. My guess is that it probably happens a
lot. That's the breaks I guess.

I would say many. Some just live with the symptoms because they don't
want to cut wheat/gluten out of their diets, even though they
acknowledge that they feel better when they do. Nuts, but hey, what can
you do.


15 for me.


No, it's not.

However, I find it quite interesting that varieties of flavorted potato
chips, flavored corn puffs, and flavored corn chips use MSG. Varieties of
canned soups also use MSG. Where are all the complaints? If there are any,
the certainly aren't getting media attention, that's for sure.

If they can eat the flavored snacks or canned soups containing MSG, then the
problem likely wasn't the MSG to begin with. If they can't eat the flavored
snacks or the canned soups, then they likely do have a problem with MSG.

Low carb and low fat both. Is there anything they can't do? ;^)


I have never heard of them in dried form.

I cook beans in my crock pot so the process is already at least 24
hours. Soak over night. Drain in the morning and start cooking in the
crockpot. Ready for first eat at dinner. Some types of bean are better
leaving them at low for a full 24 hours. Start soak in the morning. At
dinner drain and start in the crockpot. They are ready at tomorrow's
dinner.

My own standards for low-fat do not allow mozzarella and you don't seem
to be able to buy no-fat mozzarella (made from animal milk) any more.
About all you can get is Kraft shredded no-fat mozzarella and I am
reduced to melting it in the microwave to reconstitute it. Actually,
with the addition of some MSG, water and smoke flavoring before melting,
the result resembles smoked cheese if not mozzarella.
