Andre's (Many) Food Sensitivities

This is the table of foods I am sensitive to and my responses to them.

Food	Glutamic Acid	Lactose	Citric acid	Sulphites	Chocolate	Beef
Type	Metabolic disorder (Fast glutamate uptake/slow breakdown)	Metabolic disorder (Lactase deficiency)	Metabolic disorder (Pantothentic acid hyper-metabolism)	Metabolic disorder (Sulphite oxidase deficiency due to molybdenum deficiency)	Metabolic disorder (Xanthine oxidase deficiency due to molybdenum deficiency)	Unknown
Symptom Severity	Mild	Severe	Mild	Moderate	Moderate	Moderate
Dose Response	Linear	Step	Linear	Linear	Step	Step
Response Time	Hours	3 hours (full stomach)	5–8 hours	½–1½ hours	5–8 hours	5–8 hours
Partial Recovery Time (After Onset of Symptoms)	None – Always Functional	1  hour	1  hour	None – Always Functional	1  hour	1  hour
Full Recovery Time	1 day	1 day	2 days	4 days	1 day	1 day
Obvious/Natrual Sources	None	Milk, Cheese, Ice Cream	Citrus fruit, pineapple, most berries, tomatoes	None	Chocolate, cocoa, cocoa butter	Duh
Weird Ingredient Sources	MSG	Lactose (especially in medications), milk ingredients (very common in processed foods)	Pectin, citric acid, citrate	Sulphite (including metabisulphite), saccharin, acesulfame-K, yellow #5 (potentially any colour), wine, vinegar (all except white or malt), molasses, brown sugar (contains molasses), maple syrup, cold cuts/preserved meat, dried fruits, caramel colour, bottled citrus juice, certain preserved seafood	None	None
Preventative Measure	None	Lactase enzyme caplets, lactose-free equivalent	B5 vitamin supplement	Molybdenum supplement	Molybdenum supplement	None
Behaviour without Preventative Measure	Avoid	Avoid	Eat reduced quantities	Avoid	Avoid	Avoid
Behaviour with Preventative Measure	Avoid	As much as desired, with food	Eat moderate quantities	Eat small quantities, occasionally	Eat trace quantities	Avoid
Notes	Must be labelled, therefore easy to avoid	Very aged cheeses (e.g., Parmesan) are effectively lactose-free		Must be labelled in Canada after August 2009; illegal on fresh produce

Always functional means that if I was experiencing these symptoms, I would be in pain, but capable of hiding it.

It's also worth noting that lactose-intolerance is wild-type and lactose-tolerance is the mutant phenotype.
