ugh...msg...again :(

By Linda Monday, January 21, 2008
YIKES! I decided I was going to have a can of progresso soup for supper. I'm trying to watch my weight and lose lbs. I picked up the can, glanced at it....thought, oh its a good brand, glanced at the ingredients and didn't see it...well, obviously MISSED it somewhere....about fifteen minutes after I ate I started running the bathroom and sneezing. did it give me a clue??? Well I ran for the immodium and benadryl and then fished the can out of the garbage....DUH...MSG!!!!!! I think I already knew that by that time. I'm knocking myself on the head by now....nothing I can do but live and learn. Grumble some more about all the companies that have msg in their products and write a nasty letter to progresso about their soups. haha YEP I did write a letter to them about it!!!!! haha I was po'd about it! The print is so small its hard to see it. I think it should at least have it in larger print on the front of the item so we can tell its in it. That way it makes for less accidents like I just had. I'm just coming off the last mistake and now I have another!!!! ARGH!!!!! One thing I have to say, there is now NO DOUBT in my mind at ALL that I cannot consume MSG IN ANY WAY AT ALL!!!!!!!!! LOL
had chinese last night and Please suggest any good salad dressings!

I know how you feel with MSG.  It's so frustrating!  The thing with the soups and frozen food is the worst though.  You try to eat healthy and diet and exercise and then they throw that junk in there. 

 

I don't get as sick from it as you - just typical migraine symptoms.  At least though, I can prepare myself for it if I WANT to eat something with MSG.  I had even gotten to the point when I was having migraine symptoms everyday that I thought I might as well enjoy the MSG because I'm going to get a migraine attack anyway! Big Smile

 

If you share you letter on here, I'm sure many of us would be happy to sign and send it along.  I know I would!  There's strength in numbers!!!!

I just emailed progresso. I found the email on line. i did a search for progresso soup on the net. I doubt I will hear back from them. LOL If I do it will be a generic thing. LOL I read online that they will not take it out or don't have to take it out just because some of the people have allergies to it. A LOT of the people have allergies to it. Not just SOME of the people. But anyway....they could at LEAST make the warning BIGGER that it is in the ingregients. That would be a blessing.

Linda,

Are you feeling any better?  Have you gotten over this rash of migraines you have gone through?  I do hope so.  Every time I open a can now I am reading the label.  While msg has not been an issue for me, I do keep reading the label now. 

 

Again, I hope you are feeling betting.  Take care,

Cindy

Linda,

I'm trying this one more time to get a signature in correctly.  I'm sorry you are my test case.....
