Out of the 18 ingredients on Beyond's website, some are familiar, like brown rice and salt. Others, like methylcellulose, are a little less so.

TLDR: lots of salt and artificial flavourings. But a lot of interesting chemistry goes into it too. There are annealing steps, and many other processes I don’t understand.

    Probably the salt. You could test if crisps or popcorn or such have the same effect.

    Or try drinking lots of water with it.

      Crisps and popcorn don’t have the same effect, but I haven’t tried the water thing. I’ll try it next time, thanks for the suggesion!

        Also, there are many many types of food intolerances. It has so many ingredients, you might be intolerant to any one of them.
