Well I'm presuming that Turkey Hill might have made a promise not to place
any MSG in their carageenan. But color me skeptical- I have a difficult time
imagining why anyone would even want to impart a "meat-like flavor" to an
ingredient they use to increase the viscosity of ice cream. Without
carageenan the ice cream might have the consistency of something you put in
your coffee. That's a problem but you wouldn't want to fix it by adding a
meatlike flavor. I can only imagine... "sure, we won't make our ice cream
taste like meat, no problem."
Not being a doctor, but pretending to be one on TV (or at least being
handsome enough for it)- and carefully rereading your post- I see definite
evidence of diet-based seizure triggers here- but probably related to sugar,
not MSG. Ice cream and Hamburger Helper are both loaded with sugar. Sudden
rises in sugar intake pound on several regulatory centers in the body, like
the adrenal, pancreas, and several regulatory centers in the brain. It
demans an immediate reaction from all of them within minutes in order to
keep your blood sugar level within reasonable bounds.
I don't see that you've shown your problems are actually the result of MSG
specifically- that appears to be a self-diagnosed extension. All your
anecdotes are supported by facts (except for maybe the carageenan thing)-
until you draw a direct line to the presence of MSG in these sugary foods as
being the cause. You don't support that part with facts (how could you
really?), so I see no compelling reason that the MSG must be involved. The
sugar looks much more guilty to me.
If you really want to know the true answer, they do sell pure MSG at the
supermarket. (They make it by fermenting beets.) You'll be more likely to
find it in Asian supermarkets- they sprinkle it on their food as a
condiment. They're not scared of it at all. It's nutritionally worthless
(your body can manufacture it by itself if you're a vegetarian); they just
like the taste. Sprinkle some on a cracker and see what happens. Compare
that to a cracker with no MSG. It only sounds crazy but if that were in fact
your seizure trigger (which I doubt) you would gain some good information
about the nature of your disorder.
Good luck from someone in the same boat-
