I would like to recommend a product that my family and I just tried tonight. Mahatma Saffron Yellow Seasoning Rice in the 5 oz. package. This rice only required a small amount of water. You can find it in the rice aisle at Pavillions. The cost was minimal at less than $1.50 if I recall correctly.
When I asked my m-i-l if she thought I should buy it again, she readily said, "yes".

| Well now i've discovered the same rice in same size but two different shapes. One shape is tall and thin while the other is short and stout. Now you can choose which one is best for packing up and heading off into the sunset. |

i'm almost positive. there are a lot of false names for MSG, so it may not actually say "MSG." i forget them all. i used to eat that exact rice you are talking about but stopped because of the MSG. Not sure if it still has it but I assume so. |
Buying:
Peace/Morgan G+ at $15.00

Pretty much if it is a packaged product it will have some MSG in it, especially if it tastes good.
Here is one of the web sites I have found recently in my battle to get MSG out of my body along with eliminating grains, legumes, etc. for better health for me.

Good Luck, everyone, in prepping for the future while avoiding this harmful substance. |

PTP, what problems are you having with legumes? **eyes the hundreds of pounds of beans in his food storage area**
Nickelless, again I am NOT a doctor, but I firmly believe that the relief I obtained so quickly from the fibro pain was due to eliminating the foods that I was told to avoid in the inflammation diet that a friend sent to me. I "think" and HOPE that the other health issues I am having with my double vision, the balance problems, the neurological symptoms that caused my doctor to order an MRI to rule-out (inconclusive results) Multiple Sclerosis will improve or go away completely by my continuing to avoid to the best of my ability MSG and preservatives. Remember MSG can hide under many, many, many names in our foods.
You must be logged in to see this link.
The inflammation diet that I was sent strongly advised elimination of the following foods:
All grains and grain products, including white bread, whole wheat bread, pasta, cereal, pretzels, crackers, and any other product made with grains or flours from grains, which includes most desserts and packaged snacks.
Partially hydrogenated oils (trans fats) found in margarine, deep fried foods (French fries, etc.) and most all packaged foods. [I won't name the candy, but I was shocked when I discovered this one a couple of years ago in a favorite candy of mine that I loved because of its chewy texture. This one is the HUGE avoidance that the friend of mine told me to do a couple of years ago as she found great relief from her polymyalgia (I think that is the right name and spelling.) She had it worse off than our fibromyalgia pain and was crippled to the point that the only way she and her husband could take a vacation was in an RV so she could rest often. Now, she can walk circles around me and then some. I should have listened more carefully to everything she tried to tell me. Again, my stubborn nature had to interfere and this caused me more damage to my health.]
Corn oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil, cottonseed oil, soybean oil, and foods made with these oils such as mayonnaise, tartar sauce, margarine, salad dressings, and many packaged foods.
Soda, dairy, soy, and sugar.
Meat and eggs from grain-fed animals. This one is difficult for most to do on a consistent basis, so do your best. Lean cuts of meat may be the best choice for non-grass fed animal products. I know this one may be causing me the little pain I am still feeling but since I can't drive to find a source PLUS we are limited in our food budget and am trying to do the best I can without bankrupting us I am making sure that I am having a smaller, much smaller serving of the meat. I think the eggs I am eating are the worst offender in this area, but I can't afford to get the non-grain fed eggs, if I could even find them. Others of you may not be quite as sensitive.
Foods to eat:
All fruits and vegetables (except be careful of any spray that could have been used on these that can contain MSG--please see the MSG sites I have posted before). Eat fruit raw and vegetables raw or lightly cooked. Red and Sweet Potatoes are acceptable as long as they are consumed with a protein, such as eggs, fish, meat or fowl.
Fresh fish
Meat, chicken, eggs from grass-fed animals
Wild game (YUCK--sorry I can NOT do this one!!!)
Nuts: raw almonds, cashews, walnuts, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts (BUT, please make note of what Dogtor J has to say that just 6 - 7 nuts a day are all you need for their nutritional content.)
Spices (sea salt is recommended, I am using canning salt right now but may make the switch when we need more to see if I can detect even further benefits) AGAIN, make sure there isn't any hidden MSG in these if you use packaged spices. Sometimes it is trial and error and that is why the food diary is so important. If you encounter a flare-up, then back off all new spices/foods you tried for at least three days then introduce them just one at a time.
Oils and fats: It is best to use organic oils as they can otherwise concentrate pesticides. Use organic extra virgin olive oil and coconut oil. Butter is also a healthy choice and the best butter comes from grass fed cows. [This one I am currently investigating the possibility that it could have brought on immediate chronic fatigue in me on Sunday after eating one food at lunch cooked with butter, and two foods at supper cooked with butter. Of course, the brand of butter I bought could contain MSG even though it doesn't say it on the label.] {Thank goodness I had already begun using a small amount of coconut oil to cook a vegetable or two in as I had read that there is something in coconut oil that can benefit portions of the brain especially in people that have degenerative neurological health issues. AND, I would experience strong urges to consume coconut--of course, I was doing it wrong by eating packaged that contained sugar so I figured there was something in it I needed.)
Salad dressing: use extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar or lemon juice (I KNOW for sure from what I have read not to use bottled of this as there is MSG) and allowed spices
Drink water--plenty of water. I am also drinking some fruit juice that I found I can tolerate. I am drinking some weak regular iced tea but need to get that gone as well. They do recommend organic green tea but my husband can't consume green tea due to a medication he is on as it will interfere with the correct function of that medication.
It also says dark chocolate is allowed but I have NOT yet found a source that doesn't list words that could be MSG. So, I have been satisfying my urge for a sweet by taking a tiny, tiny amount of raw local honey and putting it in a small bowl in the freezer for just a few minutes. When I take it out to eat it the cold has given it a temporary consistency of taffy so it satisfies my sweet urge as well as the urge to have something chewy.
Here is a link I discovered just the other night on Dogtor J's site:
You must be logged in to see this link.
It is an extremely long read, but the more I read the more I understood and I continued reading it all and then I could put things together with health issues from my past to present and health issues of deceased family members.
THEN, I explored his site some more and discovered a link he had about eating according to your blood type. My cousin had mentioned this to me and I had not had time to pursue looking into it, plus I thought how could that be??? Well when I found the brief mention about it and the two foods that O blood type should avoid being dairy and wheat I had to retrieve my jaw from the floor where it had landed as I read that. Then yesterday I had the opportunity to visit a local theme park while my husband worked and I was chatting with a musician friend about my dietary changes and how improved my health was since making these changes. He told me that his wife was using the eat according to your blood type method and I told him of my reaction when I read just those two foods to avoid. He said he, his wife and kids are all feeling so much better.
Maybe there really is more to the expression: We are what we eat!
Regarding the beans. They are naturally high in glutamates and/or aspartates.
Foods rich in glutamate and aspartate:
3) Beans: Soy, Pinto, lima, black, navy, and lentils
This above info I copied from this web site:
You must be logged in to see this link.
This web page really goes into how these foods affect a person.
In the inflammation diet that I had received the printed copy of from a friend, later on in the information it states (paraphrasing some info as I disagree with it due to my Biblical beliefs):
...for the (omit time-line due to my beliefs) years that humans (paraphrased) have populated the earth, the following foods were NEVER consumed: grains, pasta, cereal, soy, beans, dairy, refined sugar, partially hydrogenated fats, and seed oils (such as corn, safflower, cottonseed, sunflower, canola, and soybean oil.)
I did NOT paraphrase any of the foods it listed as not acceptable to our bodies.
Nickelless, and others reading this, I hope this information can bring you a much more enjoyable, healthy life. I never, ever would have believed all of this information (I know you sit there reading this and thinking OK, she's a nut job) IF I HAD NOT experienced such dramatic pain relief as quickly as I did with the fibromyalgia, NOT TO MENTION waking up without a headache for the first time in years plus not getting a headache throughout the day for 40 plus years, if not more. And, not having the brain fog that I have had for I don't know how long as it just comes on you and you may not even realize that is what is going on with you. I just thought I had trouble thinking, concentrating, etc. and it was a normal part of the aging process or perhaps part of the MS type symptoms I had been experiencing.
GOOD LUCK to all of you that want to make this change for a healthier eating and a healthier life.
Nickelless...I too have bags of beans in my cupboard, as well as rice, as well as a lot of packaged/canned/jarred foods that I will no longer be consuming. If I can't convince my husband to join me in this venture, then I guess he will eat them, but I will do my best to insist that he not buy any more of those products so that his health too can improve. IF ONLY I COULD DRIVE, then I could do the shopping again and he wouldn't really have a choice in this and his health would improve and hopefully he would thank me after the fact.
Again, please remember my words in a previous post that the pharmaceutical companies or their researchers know that certain medications can NOT be consumed with certain foods (sometimes within as much as an 8 hour spread) or the medication can not be absorbed by our bodies. Many of those foods are the foods that we are not to consume on this diet. If the medicine can't be absorbed, then think about the nutrients we are no longer able to absorb from the foods we eat as these "no-no" foods mess with our intestinal system and block the ability of it to absorb nutrients.
Hope this has helped.
Enjoy your day, everyone. I know I can finally say that I, too, can enjoy my day.

The diet your talking about is the same as the Atkins diet. Low carb high protein diet. Carbs are sugars, sugars are bad. Sugar cause all sorts of problems.
Also many people are allergic to yeast and yeast is in nearly everything, research yeast allergies you will be amazed at the effects it has on the human body.
I need to get back on the Atkins diet again. I felt so much better when I was on it.

Oh yeah,
I'm glad you figured out what was making you so ill.
Good luck to you and your husband.

Ummmmm, technically, I don't believe this is the same as the Atkins Diet. It is my understanding that you can not have fruits or nuts on the Adkins diet and the inflammation diet does allow these foods.
I also am eating a sweet potato almost every day and that food isn't allowed either on the Atkins Diet.
Good luck in making healthy dietary changes. |
