Prevention & Expectations
What can be done to prevent the disease?
People with CRS should avoid foods containing high amounts of MSG. Symptoms of CRS can sometimes be avoided by eating food prior to eating MSG.
What are the long-term effects of the disease?
The condition goes away by itself without causing long-term effects. But the concern for someone with CRS is how much MSG, if any, can be consumed without causing symptoms. Before changing eating habits, a person should talk with his or her healthcare provider.
What are the risks to others?
There are no risks to others.
