Fish sauce

[anthrax]

Is it possible that fish sauce makes me bloated ?

[my fish sauce does NOT contain MSG]

Doesn't it have a lot of sodium?? Sodium = water retention

Yrs, it's loaded with sodium

But, here it is different from water retention

The effect is almost immediate, like an allergic reaction
I just feel as if if I've just eaten 2 pounds of oatmeal very quickly

Looks like the Chinese Restaurant Syndrome though it is not caused by MSG
Unless the manufacturer used MSG w/o telling it ....

Chinese Restaurant Syndrome is a combination of symptoms that include feelings of burning, flushing, tingling and tightness - symptoms that some people experience after eating a meal from a Chinese restaurant.

For at least thirty years the claim has commonly been made that monosodium glutamate (MSG) is the cause of Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. Although a claim that is commonly made may indicate an association or (possibly) even cause and effect, such a claim must be supported by appropriate studies before it can be considered to be scientifically valid. Many studies have been conducted to test the claim about MSG and Chinese Restaurant Syndrome. Some (but by no means all) studies have reported finding a relationship between MSG and the syndrome.

Is it Nam Pla or Nuoc Mam or Patis?

Some are made with primarilly fish, some with mostly shrimp. If you have even a slight reaction to shellfish, steer clear!

The sodium content is savage, that is the preserving agent. The old was was to pile layer after layer of either titi shrimp and 'chovies or just chovies with layers of salt and literally just wait for the fish to liquify.

Asia has its type, the romans had theres, Garum, used it on everything. Some of it was watered down with unfermented grape juice for wine (must) and used even more liberally.
