Hi ,

You need to get hold of Amy Yasko's stuff, if you haven't already -

you are on the same track. She talks about wheat & milk being high in

glutamate etc. From what I've read so far, I think you are absolutey

right to be concerned about glutamate.

Regards to you & sunny (?) Swansea

for addressing this subject as it explains a lot of my daughter's

food reactions!) . I have found out that wheat and milk are high in

glutamate as well as tomatoes, strawberries and citrus fruit. I think

that glutamate, which is, as you all know, an excitatory amino acid,

should be considered when trying to decide what sparked the meltdown

or rage/aggression. MSG of course in so many processed foods and

often disguised (!) so they are hard to screen.

Sharon!

Geez, I just remembered you were supposed to come to Swansea this summer and I was supposed to check into HBOT here. Forgot about the HBOT...Were you able to arrange anything? Really sorry..

I came across some old articles by a man named DOHAN here in the UK who theorized that the schizophrenic behaviour was due to the glutamates/proline in wheat and cassein. Shattock referred to him also in a paper he wrote....If there is any basis to this theory then, Theanine and Vitamin K would be helpful...I'd love to do a study on this....Also i found some information about GABA being switched off in brain injury events leading to inflammation. If this also applies to gut injury, we may have somthing interesting here.

When are you next up in Copperopulis?

I need to finish my PhD first if I ever get that far with everything happening in the background here. For the moment, I'll do what I can through the uni but in the future, your idea sounds. I have always fantasized about holding one million dollar bills in my hand...if only...

Thanks for the idea. Let's see what happens ..

Hi ,

Did yo mention earlier today that you were going to put together a list

of high glutamate foods? If so would you be happy to share with the

group as I'd certainly be very keen to know what we should be avoiding!!

Many thanks

Yes, I will be putting something together. I want to do a food survey on kids, dividing foods up into phenol, glutamate and oxalate based and see if I can correlate them with behaviour. This is what I would like to do but it seems an enormous hair-splitting task, particularly with phenols as levels are affected by cooking, freezing and agricultural practices..

Glutamtes are really interesting. I am beginning to think that cravings intepretation of desire for glutamates. Glutamates give you a buzz but in vulnerable people also affect behaviour negatively....

Top glutamate foods I have found so far are

tomatoes

wheat (!)

milk (!)

strawberries

parmesan cheese

Just think about kids who crave pizzas, They are full of glutamates ( wheat, parmesan, tomatoes)!

Add in MSG (I'll bet that is definately in pizza store products) which is like mainling adrenalin and you get a real BIG buzz. My daughter craves pizzas like mad and she still goes absolutely BONKERS on them.

Lotsa love Caroline

Hi ,

Did you see the email someone put on the group today from Yasko's site ?

This contains lists of foods containing MSG and free and bound

glutamate. Do you know what the difference is between free and bound,

and if so are both to be avoided as the list is pretty extensive?

with many thanks

Bound means that the digestive system has to open up the bonds so it is not free and easily available, whereas unbound means that you can get an immediate overflow into the system, unencumbered and unrestricted, rather like mainlining adrenalin into the heart! If GABA, the inmhibitory transmitter is not sufficiently abundant, then the net effect would be overexcitement, aggression and I think I understood rages also

I will check out the yasko site. Sharon already suggested it but haven't had a moment to pursue this. Thanks

I've just spent some time reading up Yasko. This makes SOOOOO much sense and explains so much.....I really think the phenol problem could be a masked glutamate problem. If I could somehow connect the glutamate with the dilated pupils and the red ears then it would I'd be satisfied...Maybe it's the calcium...that's impacting on the pupil dilatation....

Diving back into the literature...

It would also explain the sensory problems as the end nerves are firing like mad and becoming over-sensitive or the lack of reaction to pain in self-ijury as the nerves becaome deadened.....
