Steve,
You didn't include an Email address so I hope you read this on the board. MSG is the most likely trigger for your CH since you can relate the CHs to Chinese food. While many Chinese resturants no longer use MSG (read the menu), they don't guarantee foods prepared outside the resturant, such as egg roll, are MSG free. I am extremely sensitive to MSG when in a cluster cycle and must avoid even the smallest amounts. It is used in many foods and can be disguised as (FDA approved) natural flavoring and hydrogenated protein. A lot of snack foods have MSG and many non-oriental resturants use it, it's classified as a flavor enhancer. For me, it damn sure is a CH enhancer too.
Good luck Steve, remission for all.
Kip
