Chain Pizza and MAOI's

Posted by Hoosier on December 30, 2002, at 17:24:08

I don't know if this has been posted before, but an article came out in 1999 that measured tyramine levels of of chain pizzas (Pizza Hut, Dominoes, and another I can't remember) and found that even double cheese, double pepperoni pizzas contain insignificant levels of tyramine. I believe the highest level measured for an entire pizza was .37 mg. - most were much less. I've been taking 45 mg. of Nardil for 12 years. Since seeing that article, I've eaten much pepperoni pizza with no problems - provided it is FRESH. Dr. Bob - you may want to modify your MAOI diet guideline a bit. Here is the citation:

My apologies if you've seen this already.
