Invert Sugar?

I react to msg almost as badly as I do to gluten. Something got me on Friday and I'm trying to figure out what it was. The dressing I had on the salad I made is fine, and I've had it before. I'm thinking that it was perhaps the York Peppermint Patties I ate. I notice they have "invert sugar" in them and it seems that has both citric acid and in the manufacturing process they "hydrolize" the sucrose and every MSG watch list has "hydrolyzed anything" on it.

Anyone know for sure if Invert Sugar uses msg somewhere in the process?

It was the only thing, outside the dressing, that I consumed Friday that was not "natural" (as in raw veggies and plain quinoa boiled in water with cinnamon were the only other things I ate)

Invert sugar has absolutely nothing to do with MSG. Hydrolysis is just a natural chemical breakdown process, one that happens in your body too. Many things can be hydrolyzed and they do not always involve or produce MSG. MSG and other free amino acids are only produced from hydrolyzing proteins so you have to look out for hydrolyzed vegetable proteins, yeast extract, and other things that contain broken-down protein. Invert sugar is made by hydrolyzing sucrose syrup to fructose and dextrose so it's not a problem at all as far as MSG sensitivity. You don't have to worry about hydrolyzed starch or dextrin either (unless it was wheat starch).

It may be that something else in the peppermint patties got you. Is mint something you eat comfortably?

Hmmm. That is all good to know, thank you for explaining it to me. I do peppermint oil, fresh mint, and mint tea fine so I don't think that was it. I have an email into Hershey to ask them, but getting straight answers about msg in food is tricky :) The only other things I ate that day I also ate the day before so I just can't pin point what it was that got me so badly. Sigh. Thanks for clearing up the hydroyzed though :)

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
