I think stress can make you acutely sensitive to things that you may be able to overlook at other times. Last year Lar and I had some chinese food that was MSG laden and we both felt horrible from it, as you said I felt tingly, light headed, swollen, and agitated as well. I can't remember why Lar reccommended taurine, which I already had in the cupboard, (there is a chemical reason) but it worked brilliantly, I was astonished it was to the m.s.g. reaction what xanax is to anxiety.
But even if you don't try it, (it's good for stress anyway) you will be okay, it just feels really really awful I know.Good luck.
