I'm still a bit confused about the diet. I know that yeast extract and soy preparations can be very dangerous to take while on an MAOI. I still don't understand how you can know about the contents of food when you go out to eat. There are so many sauces and prepared foods used by restaurants these days that contain yeast extract, soy protein isolate, teriaki sauce, some grated parmesan cheese used as a spice etc. Even if you ask the wait people, chances are you're not going to find out that these are in the food as the cooks themselves probably don't even know it. I know that this hasn't been a big problem for people here who take MAOIs but I don't understand why not. If anyone can shed some light on this for me, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Kara
