I am super sick right now and haven’t eaten much in a few days. It’s getting to the point where I am gonna need to force myself to eat something to keep my strength up but everything just sounds terrible to me right now. I have been subsisting mostly on small glasses of milk and the occasional packet of instant oatmeal.

Any suggestions on things to eat that go down easy and has nutritional value? Flavor is pretty far down on my list of requirements right now and I’m finding myself exhausted after chewing a few bites. Any serious suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

      MSG sensitivity isn’t a real thing, according to the studies done on it. It was a bad bit of science that got thrown into the news cycle and caused a panic (kinda like the vaccine==autism thing).

      If you’re feeling bad from food with MSG in it, it’s probably because your body is pissed at you for consuming so much sodium in general.

          Did you not read my comment at all?

          There were studies done that weren’t based on anecdotal evidence that disproved the concept of MSG sensitivity.

          They took a bunch of people with self reported MSG sensitivity and gave them either MSG or a placebo, and there was not a statistically significant difference between the two groups.

          This is no different than people thinking that WiFi is causing them headaches.
