[Jerry Story]

Glutamate can be bound or unbound. The unbound is what people with ALS must avoid or at least minimize. Here is a list of glutamate content of foods, both bound and unbound.

Note parmesan cheese. Very high in unbound (or free) glutamate.

You've been busy today, Jerry Thanks very much for this particular link, it was very helpful. In trying to switch my diet to one appropriate for us PALS (away from my fast-food diet), I had included corn and peas. However it appears those are not the veggies for us. Very uselful information.
