Answer 2

I'm Chinese so I should know...I think that the most MSG use would be in the restaurants in the streets ..like fast food restaurants...try going to more of real restaurants like they look really fancy and are usually in building that have and look nice tables, chairs, etc...but if u ask them to make it w/o MSG they might still put a little in, but sometimes since Chinese foods are cooked really in hot temp. you really don't kow and it really doesn't hurt...ask ur doc for meds to take...but there's always KFC and Mickey D's there..plus there's Pizza Hut, but that's really expensive...try to stick with more veggies..but let me just say tough it out because seriously the food is soooo good there that it would be terrible to miss out!

Have Fun! Oh and don't talk to strangers!

Answer 3

That's a bummer, but lucky u!  My sis-in-law has the same problem, when they went a few years back they ate alot at the hotel.  It was an American hotel, I am not sure where you are staying but they even prepared take out meals for her to eat while they were sight seeing.  Just in case, she had the concierge write out in Chinese characters that she was allergic to MSG.  She carried that paper around with her and showed all the waiterstaff and restaurant managers.  She didnt have any problems and loved the trip.

Answer 4

Drink herbal tea.

Ask your doctor for any medicines you can bring along to soothe these migraines.

and have fun.

Answer 5

Studies have shown that people do not have any reaction to MSG if they do not know it is there.  (Italian food, full of tomatoes, is a far richer source of MSG in the US than is Chinese food, since tomatoes and parmesan cheese are far richer sources of MSG.)

If you can eat Italian food without problems, then don't worry about it.  It's all in your head...
