> argh, PROTEIN POWDER IS FINE.
Why the "argh"?
I just re-checked the protien powder we have. Whey protein powder (at least some) have soybean in them.
Many protien powders get their protien from Soy.
We are not allowed to have soy with MAOI's.

Therefore, many protien powders are NOT fine. Maybe some are.It has tyrosine in it. Tyrosine is NOT tyramine. Tyrosine is a common amino acid. Tyramine is what causes hypertensive crises.
If I was misinformed here, I'm sorry. I thought from PDoc that Tyramine AND tyrosine were off limits when listed in ingredients.
It occurs in fermented foods. Whey or egg or whatever is not a fermented food. And don't eat soy protein, it tastes like plaster of paris.
