it is an excitotoxin, can come from corn, potato, wheat, barley, rice, tapioca, etc. It is typically not safe for me, but that doesn't mean it isn't safe for you. Depends how badly you are doing, you might want to try it (or the product it's in) and see.

I use a rice protein powder to boost calories:
