In reply to MAOI's and Soy Products, posted by mrporter1 on January 28, 2004, at 15:19:48
I haven't been on an MAOI in a long time, but when I did take Parnate, I often wondered about foods like tofu, soy milk, etc. I never did find out the answer, but I do know that when you are on MAOI, you must stay away from fermented foods, so I would definitely stay away from MISO, which is fermented soy bean paste, I believe. I'm uncertain about tofu. I think soy sauce is prohibited. Have you checked out Dr. Ivan Goldberg's website, "Depression Central"? I think he has a lot of MAOI information on that site.
