Got a takeaway last night,veggie curry with rice and tofu.
It was a Japanese takeaway at a food market.
A few hours later I started feeling dehydrated and dizzy,not really a headache but close to certain it was the takeaway.
The is the third time now after eating Asian takeaway that I've experienced these symptons
MSG perhaps or some other chemical used to make the food taste better at the cost of our health I guess.
Cook it yourself and at least you know what's in it I say.

I never really believed in the MSG scare but one time we made a dish at home that had a certain spice we liked, a while later we both felt a bit odd, sort of a spacey feeling, checked the label and sure enough, MSG.
Your problem was there was no meat. Your body was telling u it wanted some b12, iron and the yumminess of something that used to have feelings.
The problem is you thought you ordered Chinese food while it was actually Japanese food.
In regards to MSG its been scientifically proven, ie giving people food they suspect to have MSG added such as Chinese takeaway and then measuring their reaction to MSG which was marked. Then giving the same people food that they don't suspect to have MSG added in such as roast lamb. The same people don't complain of symptoms caused by MSG.

I saw a doco that proved MSG was a load of sh!te. Urban myth. People had 'reactions' based on their assumption that it was there. There are also quite high levels of glutamates in vegies (notably cruciform vegies and especailly broccoli I think) that SOME people react to. Those who truly react to glutamates is a very very small group.
Could it really just be that we are not used tot he food? Like Indian etc can give you the poops the next morning - but it doesn't for Indians does it?
But Pete would just love for it to be true...
I suspect they cooked with fluoridated water & added some chemtrails to the dish

Why is it some groups that have the word 'truth' in them, seem to be just the opposite, and full of 'opinion'?
Just as an example from that webpage:
" It is now reported that the autism rate is 1 in 50 children in the US and 1 in 38 children in South Korea. The rate has essentially risen 200-fold since the 1940's. "
The very link in that sentence points to an article that says a report "found autism spectrum disorder affects 1 in 50 children, well above the 1 in 88 number that had been used by the CDC, and three times the rate the CDC found a decade ago."
and the reason was:
"The biggest change is we are becoming more inclusive,"
i.e. more people are being included in the diagnosis, instead of more autistic people being born.
So, it seems the people behind MSGtruth aren't really doing very good research, unless they are trying to show there is no link.
It sounds more like you were dehydrated.
I get that a lot with takeaways. I don't know why.
Maybe it's just because there's lots of salt in it,.. or something similar.
Pizza does it most noticeably.
Easy enough to fix. Just drink lots of orange drink or water.
^^^ Beer goes well with takeaway... even if you're not sure whether you're eating Chinese or Japanese quisine.
.....all silent killers??
Well maybe this MSG scare is BS afterall, not surprising, this was my initial reaction.
Re; Indian food, if they give you a bib to eat lobsters they should give you a diaper to eat Indian food...
Medical researchers today unveiled petermac33 syndrome. The researchers claimed the syndrome is easily diagnosed by far-fetched claims, gaseous vapour trails, elevated fluoride and a lack of iron in the blood as well as a distinct lack of “meaty” substance.
did a low flying aircraft spray it?
seriously tho the msg thing is mostly a load of crap, but there are people that do react to it and get bowel irritation / slight cramps. i know this cause i secretly dosed the boss's food with it to see if she was putting it on or not. turns out it was for real. sorry about that dear.
I started replacing the msg when cooking with lsd, still makes me feel a bit weird 1/2hr after eating it, but in a good way.

That would make for some good food related flashbacks.....
msg actually has a lower sodium content than table salt so is better for anyone trying to reduce sodium for blood pressure. You use less too.
Absolute best use is on steak. A premium eye fillet rubbed with MSG before cooking is just wow....
Ate sushi once from a food court in Perth - threw up for 48 hours
never thought to post on a forum though....
Ditto the naturaly occuring MSG. Saw a Rosemary Stanton piece years back when MSG allergy was popular (80's?) they had Chinese takeaway vs bolognaise. There's more MSG in bolognaise because of the reduced tomatoes. Not one person complained of Bolognaise food syndrome but all the Chinese takeaway which had no MSG added people had terrible thirstiness and headaches.
Wish Rosemary would do piece on glutton free......

Did you then try and find the MSG to watch the cricket?
