> SOY FOODS are controversial: one sample of soy sauce was reported to have quite a lot of tyramine in it, but there aren't any documented interactions. My experience has been that a little bit of soy sauce is okay. I would avoid other soy products, such as soy milk and tofu. The Taiwanese dish called "stinky tofu" is probably right out. < g >I'd just like to add that "soybean oil", which is in all sorts of different foods, is perfectly fine. I eat it all the time. Pretty much any frozen dinner contains it. Having read quite a few food labels now, a lot of frozen meals of all sorts have dehydrated soy sauce in them (like Stouffer's Meatloaf and Marie Calendar's Honey Roasted Chicken)...perhaps these contain small enough amounts of soy sauce to be safe, I haven't tried them. Either way, people on MAOIs should probably be careful with frozen foods even if they're things you wouldn't think would have soy sauce. Does anyone have experience with this? I don't have the guts to try and eat these things.
