Sorry I'm running so far behind, which means I'm going to combine several
comments into one posting.

On MSG: Can anybody give me the actual brand name of any store-brand MSG
that contains lactose, or the brand name of any commercial vendor that
admits to using lactose in its MSG. 

On LI and pareve cookies: I'm pretty conservative about such things, so I
frankly do not believe that you can exhibit LI symptoms from eating pareve
Stella D'Oro cookies. I wouldn't even believe it if the cookies were
milk-free but were made on a line that at other times was used for dairy
containing items. I think either there are other milk-containing sources in
your diet or else you have a problem with another food or else you have
another problem altogether.
