I am having trouble finding information on tyramine levels for soy foods not listed on the MAOI diet list. If you have information on the levels of tyramine in these, please post here. These include: soy flours,soy milk,isolated soy protien (esp. SUPRO in Genisoy Protien Drinks),TVP,Hydrolysed Soy Protien,and any other soyfoods not on the list. I am also looking for tyramine levels for malted extracts, and rice syrup.
Thanks for any help you can give me.

When I was on Nardil 60 mg /day, I got a mild reaction from miso soup. (fermented soybeans)
I have no other figures, but thought you might want to know.

Well, you probably already know that high tyramine levels have been found in some soy sauces and aged tofu. See if you can find the following article:
"Refining the MAOI diet: tyramine content of pizzas and soy products." Shulman KI, Walker SE. J Clin Psychiatry 1999 Mar;60(3):191-3.
I don't know if they looked at the particular foods you mentioned (I've just read the abstract), but their overall recommendation is that you avoid all soy products. One problem is unpredictability across brands (this is seen with cheese as well).

When I was on parnate I was told to avoid all products with soy. Dr. Bob has an article on MAOI on his home page. You could also check Dr. Ivan Goldberg's home page.>
