> Ive had other cheesses, pizza with pepperoni,
I experienced a serious tyramine reaction to eating 2 thin slices of pepperoni on a pizza. Pounding occipital headache - the works. In the same way that everyone is different in the way they react to medications, so too is the way different individuals reacts to any one food. Not only that, but any one individual can react differently to the same food on different occasions. It is good to have a healthy respect for the seriousness and frequency of food reactions with MAOIs. One should probably familiarize himself with the diet rules well enough to know when they are breaking them. However, I agree that the usually quoted diets are overstated and include too many perfectly safe foods.
