Sugar, is that it?

Is it really just as simple as cutting sugar?

I mean, is it? I recently accidentally ingested some chorizo which usually would have driven me into a spiral. But I was spared, no attacks. 

I have been however sugar free for a month prior to this, and heavily modifying my diet to include heavy doses of natural yoghurt made with Lactobacillus Rhamnosus which is supposed to be protective of the liver against NAFLD. The idea, as discussed previously was to remove any signs of candida, heal gut permeability and recover from NAFLD. 

Has this worked? 

Honestly, it may have, but I am too afraid to try ingesting some flavour enhancers to really test it out, as the consequences are so intense. I'll wonder I suppose, but I am a little optimistic that it might have helped.

Leaky gut causing food sensitivity?

Of course, after many years of telling us MSG causes adverse reactions in some people, modern science now tells us it is all in our heads. As most food contains glutamates, so therefore, we must be idiots and making things up. This allows manufacturers to continue to artificially flavour otherwise bland and tasteless foods with a cheap additive.

However, many of us sufferers know that free glutamates causes dizziness and migraines, and other severe reactions in some cases, but otherwise, it is safe for us to consume organic meats, mushrooms etc. that contains Glutamates. So why is this?

I have a theory - this may be due to leaky gut. 

Although I have identified, like so many people, glutamates to be the culprit, the questions remains why some forms of glutamates affects us more than others. As for me, I know from many ultrasounds of my stomach, that I have NAFLD, which may well be due to excessive sugar and hence candida growth.
