So I had this killer headache last night at 3:30 am...
Wifey suggested it might be MSG since I took my daughter out for Kentucky Fried Chicken last night and I RARELY eat crap like that...
So I researched a bit online and found out KFC is one of the WORST MSG offenders out there...

:wave: Yepper!!! I don't eat KFC chicken. It's full of all kinds of junk and tastes gross.

If you have something high in MSG you need to drink lots of water, It dehydrates you and that's what gives you the headache. I think that's what it is, my memory isn't so good these days though,

My KFC issues is too much grease since the gastric bypass can't handle the grease...
I do get sinus infections after Dairy queen though....

Don't eat KFC, but don't recall having problems after other possibly MSG laden foods either...

Here's some entertainment. :P

So - basic rules of thumb-
Always ask for NO MSG
NO TANGLE, FISH, OR SEAFOOD EXTRACT
Think fresh - avoid marinaded foods
No dipping sauce
Eat your fruit, drink your green tea, eat fresh ginger
No soy sauce, limit alcohol, avoid diet drinks- especially with aspartame |
This is taken from the link Squatty posted. I'm always a good girl and drinking my green tea. :thanks: But yeah, water is good too.
Aspartame is also very nasty. Guaranteed headaches! I'm turning into a very picker drinker. :cool:

Aspartame blisters my tongue I have to be careful about mints, and sugarfree gums.

MSG, doesn't seem to bother me. Aspartame or any other artificial sweetener.......guaranteed headache and upset stomach. :vomit:

Yep, I am. I'm also a very picky speller. You spelled "your" wrong. It's supposed to be "you're" = you are.

I always get Taco Bell headaches, if I eat a couple beef items . . . they're own by the same company as KFC, right?

At one point in Time KFC Pizzahut and BK and Taco bell I think were all owned by the same company..... Dunno about now.....
Could also be something local like a corp in your area having both taco bell and KFC franchises
