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 :)

      Thanks rmj when I first rang up it was we can't do it without , but I talked to a lovely lady and she sorted it all out for me, so it pays to be persistent , I would have had to decline if I hadn't been given the water option too , so yes I'm glad too 😌

      I’m so glad they listened to your concerns!  I hope you get some answers from the MRI.

      Had my MRI today I didn't have to have the manitol with my allergy's , I just had a litre of water , they were great with my concerns , so let's see if anything comes of if will keep posted once I have results 👍

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.
