MSG in Soup

Do you guys have trouble with MSG in things?

For supper last night, I threw together cooked ground beef, a can of
green beans, a can of cream of mushroom soup, and a small can of
mushrooms. The whole thing amounted to about 25 net carbs, so since
it looked like at least 3 meals, I should have been fine.

After only a couple bowls (less than I expected to eat), I started
feeling bloated like I'd eaten a whole bucket of mashed potatoes. The
feeling stuck with me for the rest of the evening -- a few hours, at
least -- and I even had some mild heartburn, which I never get on LC.

It hit me after a while that it was the same feeling I used to get
when filling up at a Chinese buffet: bloated yet still hungry in an
odd way, and feeling like it's hard to take a deep breath. I never
feel like that on low-carb, not even in the first week, when I'm
stuffing myself with pound after pound of meat to stave off cravings.

That made me think of MSG, which of course is an ingredient in the
soup. I don't suppose it'll hurt me as far as diet goes (as long as
the soup was correctly labeled as per carbs), but it was awfully
unpleasant.

I guess I'll have to start making my own cream of mushroom soup. That
should make it lower-carb anyway, if I use something better than
"modified food starch" as a thickener.

Makes my nose run for an half-hour or so after eating, but I can live with
that.

It doesn't change my opinion one bit, I avoid it.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what else could have caused such a
strong reaction. Even if the labels lied and the carbs on the soup
and vegetables were double or triple what they claimed, the total
still would've been lower than a typical American meal. I suppose
it's possible that I had a mild case of food poisoning from something,
or was just slightly sick; but that bloated, overfull feeling was very
familiar. I'll definitely be watching to see what happens next time,
since I still have one can of cream of mushroom soup in the cabinet to
use.

I don't eat soup. I usually put a light sprinkle of MSG on homemade
salads. Perks the flavor right up. So far, no serious side
effeccccttttsssssssss yyyy%#@^%ee*^&ttt.

XD. Irony kicks ass.
