Food made me sick! Diarrhea, abdominal cramping and stomach pains!

Just ate here and now have diarrhea, abdominal cramping and stomach pains! Have been on the toilet ever since! Called to talk to the owner after being told ALL their food contains MSG!!! MSG is a poisonous food additive and considering they tell you that their food is all fresh and made to order, then why do they need to ruin it with MSG!!! And with a statement like "fresh food", I would assume from that there would be no MSG, which has nothing to do with fresh food but is a preservative!!! The owner was defensive and argued with me about all this and told me that it was my responsibility to know that their food has MSG, yet it is not factual information made available to any of their customers before ordering. It does not say anywhere on the menu nor does the waitress inform you - that if you have an allergic reaction to MSG then please tell us not to put it in your food!!! The owner also defensively tries to argue that all Asian restaurants use MSG. I have only found this to be the case with Chinese restaurants, not Thai and Vietnamese. Most of the Thai and Vietnamese restaurants in town do not use MSG!!! I still had half of my meal that I took home and now have thrown it in the garbage. I told the owner yet she offered no compensation for a wasted meal and one that made me sick and has ruined my entire day and will be dealing with into this evening!!! I had to cancel my plans for a hike and other things I had planned for today!!!

I will never go back to Wild Ginger, and certainly will not only not recommend this restaurant but will warn people about this as well as the owners attitude and lack of caring or compassion for her customers!!!
Beware!!!
