Re: Chinese Restaurant Syndrome

Another vote for MSG.  I noticed I was suddenly having a problem when I was living in the San Francisco Bay Area.

 

Started having an adverse reaction after eating at Chinese restaurants.

Re: Chinese Restaurant Syndrome

MSG but also the high sodium levels.

They will increase the heart rate and BP 

I don't eat any oriental foods unless I make them and I eliminate all this stuff.

The body is a minimal amount of sodium each day, and because it's in everything

You don't need to eat or add amounts.
