Migraine Arsenal

IMG_2024

These are a few of the things that I carry with me in my purse and bag wherever I go.  Migraine medicine as well as some basic seasoning agents.  If I go out to eat I order something with no MSG, no Salt, no hot sauce and no Kecap Manis and then when it comes I add my own.  All hot sauce here has MSG and most of the salt is actually a mixture of salt and MSG.  Kecap Manis is their sweet soy sauce that they put in and on everything.  I have only found 1 brand that doesn’t have MSG and thankfully it come in little individual pakets so I can stick them in my purse and take it with me.  One time I ordered friench fries with no salt, but then the salt that they brought me looked like the kind that has MSG mixed in so I was scared and didn’t put in on my fries.  After eating an order of saltless fries I got the great idea to buy a small Tupperware and fill it with MSG free salt.  And this is how I try to survive in this country full of MSG. =)
