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 :)

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
