Monosodium glutamate and Torticollis, a love story.
For about the past seven days or so, I had been noticing some tightness in my neck muscles. I also noticed that turning my head to either side seemed to be increasingly difficult.
Then, the day after we went to Cathedral Caverns, my two *main* neck muscles were so SORE. If I touched them, it hurt and just when I would move my head from side to side, they hurt really bad.
The day after that, when I would try to sharply and/or quickly turn my head to the left or right, I would get this really sharp pain on the bottom right part of my head/beginning of my neck. This lasted for two days.
Yesterday, at some point, my brother was viewing one of the MSG websites that I had already been to, but I just didn't read it as thoroughly as we did yesterday.
Protease Enzymes = Monosodium glutamate
(I must interject here that I was becoming very upset that my torticollis was returning.)
Shortly after the findings that the enzymes I had been taking to supplement the gluten-free/casein-free/soy-free diet are basically little MSG pills, I googled "monosodium glutamate and torticollis"...
I did not take any MSG pills yesterday and my neck is a lot better.
I need to completely stop consuming dairy again since I'm not able to take those msg enzymes.
However, because of this, now I am going to do the research to figure out which enzymes I need and then I will try to find the best...price.
I think I am getting closer to figuring out this whole diet thing. It is getting increasingly easier, I know.
The Protease enzymes were a slight setback, but a good lesson learned.

msg is in protease enzymes, too.
I found out tonight that those enzymes that I bought for my brother and I to supplement the gfcfsf diet have MSG in them. And MSG is terrible.
So we're going to take all of these until they're gone, but I am going to do the real research on what foods we have trouble ingesting (and thus far, I really feel like the main ones are gluten and soy and casein.) However, even while I consider myself to be on the gfcfsf diet, I will most likely increase my intake of soy lecithin (if i ever learn to make homemade snack foods and um... things that taste good, then this increase would decrease to non-existent) while I'm trying to gain weight and then keep eating those Soy-Lecithin-ish products even after I've gained the weight, so that I can maintain it. I am starting to really crave this DELICIOUS chocolate almond milk. It contains soy lecithin, and that's the MAIN reason why it is SO delicious.. Or, the reason why I want unlimited amounts of it and would be able to continually eat it until completely full. You're not SUPPOSED to naturally want to consume large quantities of *any* single food item.
I wrote down some things to look up, but I left it downstairs. I need to very soon find out if you can use any time of Lecithin as an emulsifier or like, specifically: what is so special about Soy Lecithin? So....incredibly delicious?
