Hi CF.
What did you use as a reference for the MAOI diet?
It really isn't all that restrictive.
Some of the listings you find will be out of date. The more recent research has found that many of the foods appearing as forbidden on the older lists are not justified to be avoided.
I find the following thread to be helpful, and reflects what I have found myself to be accurate:

You can keep your cream cheese, wheat, yogurt, spinach, and soy milk.
- Scott> I just checked tyramine containing foods and those are the foods I love, and some that I am allergic to, i.e., lactose and monosodium glutamate! A lactose intolerant pill works, but constipates afterwards. And soy sauce? I love it, and has no monosodium glutamate in it, at least the brand I have. Been using vanilla soy milk for yrs now. Surprised to see spinach; recalling one time I ate some bright green cooked (had been frozen I believe), and got high (literally); same w/ yogurt from a shop once (very happy)! What did those foods do to my head that made me so happy?
