Sensitivity notes
Why glutamates food checker matters
Glutamates, including MSG, are flavor enhancers found naturally in many foods and added to others. Some people report sensitivity causing headaches, flushing, or other symptoms, though research on 'MSG syndrome' is mixed.
- MSG goes by many names - look for 'glutamate' on labels
- Naturally high in soy sauce, fish sauce, and aged cheeses
- Tomatoes and mushrooms are naturally high in glutamates
- Yeast extract and hydrolyzed proteins contain glutamates
- Fresh, unprocessed foods are generally lower

What to know about breadnut seeds
Breadnut seeds are the large starchy seeds of Artocarpus camansi, boiled or roasted and eaten like chestnuts across the Caribbean, the Philippines and the Pacific. On the chemical triggers they are quiet: graded clean on histamine, histamine liberation, tyramine, gluten, lactose, sulfites and glutamates. The two things worth knowing are that the raw seed carries trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinins (graded C on lectins) which cooking destroys, and that nobody has ever lab-tested this seed for FODMAPs, so if you are asking whether breadnut seeds are low FODMAP the honest answer is that it is unrated and you have to test your own portion.
Watch for
- Raw seeds are not food.They carry trypsin inhibitors and haemagglutinins (lectins), and processing studies show boiling eliminates both and gives the most digestible seed. The C lectin grade describes the raw seed, not the boiled one.
- FODMAP content is unrated, not low.This seed has never gone through Monash testing, and it is graded C for fermentation potential, so a big bowl of starchy seeds is a plausible bloating trigger even though no single FODMAP is flagged.
- Salicylate, oxalate and nickel are all unrated here too, so treat a reaction as unexplained rather than ruled out, and log the portion you ate.
- Undercooking is the usual culprit.Seeds boiled briefly and finished on a grill can still be firm in the middle, which is where the antinutrients survive.
