Oh Asian noodle soups, what would I do without you??! Others may denigrate you as salt bombs, low in nutrition, and inconvenient to eat... But I cannot count the times you have been there for me when I was sick, hungover, or just crawling to the end of a hard-ass week. Asian noodle soups 4eva!!!

@troutgirl a little funny tidbit here is I've got mast-cell activation syndrome so I really need to be careful with what I eat. Probably a third of everything I eat is actually instant ramen, with vegetables mixed in, purely because that's one thing that somehow my body doesn't react to. I don't have any idea how to explain that but I do have to drink a little bit more water to counteract the extra salt in my system
@thisismissem Wow, how fascinating!! I have other friends with this issue and they often have to waste time like... Searching for ultra pure foods or whatever. It just blows my mind that instant ramen -- a literal broth of dodgy chemicals! -- would be a safe food for you!!! Take that, MAHA!
@troutgirl yeah it's a really weird one and I can't explain it. Sometimes I do have to use a stock powder that is better on compatibility but overall chicken instant ramen is perfectly fine. You just don't have the spice packet, which doesn't really bother me anyway because I'm there for the chicken flavor. It's one of those things that just confounds me about this entire chronic illness. I do still waste a huge amount of time screening and vetting foods and trying to figure out what is actually causing me to be sick all the time
