I do know several people who have to avoid it because it often triggers migraines.
You know, I thought this was bullshit but apparently they've linked migraines to a mutation in a gene for a glutamate-triggered potassium ion channel. Can it be stimulated by dietary glutamate? Skepticism is warranted but it seems plausible.
None of my migraines have ever been triggered by MSG, to my knowledge, but I only have one every few years or so. (Auras, photosensitivity, and of course the cranial pain.) I'm sure I have a gene for it, my mom gets them infrequently, too.

I know one person who avoids MSG like the plague, because it very often will trigger a migraine. Nitrates do that to him also. .. he has to get nitrate free bacon, if he gets it at all. Although I don't think this is the case for him, other migraine triggers tend to be things like caffeine, and sometimes even raisons.
Edited by ramoss, : No reason given.
