Quote from: Gina P on Today at 07:46:31 AMPersonally I have greatly expanded foods that I am willing to try. I still avoid Chinese. Seams many use additives that give me a bad Migraine the next day. For me its just not worth the pain. Since you get daily headaches, what's the worst that could happen?
I guess I aged myself with the comment about phone calls. Haha Times have changed and we must adapt.

Two things to unpack about your Chinese food headaches. One - sorry about that! Two, many MANY people associate Chinese food with the additive MSG - which is a flavor enhancer and is used in Chinese restaurants for sure, but it's also used in most other restaurants as well. It's in soups and sauces and dressings etc.
The story that it's only or mostly prevalent in Chinese food is a myth. So if you are one of the people who are sensitive to it, that might explain some other headaches you've gotten in the past from other food eaten out. It's really everywhere in varying amounts.
