food without flavor enhancer

“Hi everybody, as I´m allergic to flavor enhancer, I can´t eat any of the backpacker´s lunches you can buy e.g. at REI (only the sweet ones do not contain flavor enhancers). As we are going on a 7 days hike on the West Coast Trail next year I´m now looking for recipes I can prepare ahead or food that doesn´t contain flavor enhancers. Can anybody help?? (Hope you understand what I mean because my English isn´t that good...sorry...)”

“will that be a #3 or #4?”

“Sierramel's High Country Cooking

Great book for dehydrating and preparing meals ahead that you can eat on the trail. Lots of good info.

Flavor enhancers are MSG and other preservatives that some people have trouble with. My son gets migraines if he has MSG, nitrates, or other such stuff in his food. Aspartame does it to him also.”
