Are these foods/beverages okay on Nardil?

Posted by Chris O on September 14, 2012, at 10:19:46

I'm going to start Nardil next week. I've read a lot about the MAOI diet and about people's experiences here with food and beverages related to it. It seems that many of the things on it, even on the newer limited-item lists, are unlikely to cause reaction if consumed in small amounts. (Just read this article that suggests almost none of the items on it can cause serious reaction: http://psychotropical.com/pdfs/maois_diet_full.pdf). As I am somewhat of health nut and still vegetarian-oriented, wondering if below items are okay to eat and drink.

* Honest Teas: Most contain from 1/2 to 1/8th the caffeine level of a cup of coffee according to their bottles.
* Coffee
* Juice Evolution fruit and vegetable juices
* Avocados and bananas
* All other fruits and vegetables
* Veganaise
* Cheese such as cheddar and jack (I know that they're aged.)
* Tofu or products that contain tofu
* Yogurt
* Soy sauce
* Vinegar such as balsamic or red wine
* Chocolate (dark)
* Sauerkraut and kimchi

I have eaten the following while on Nardil with no problem....:

Hersheys chocolate: I have eaten a ton of.. But beware, 3 small pieces "Brachs" brand chocolate gave me a
problem so I think it is an issue of brand / quality ingredients
banana's
coffee (lots of it)
Almost all other fruits and vegetables

As for the rest on your list, I would not recommend as I have not tried. I would be terrified to eat kimchi, sauerkraut, cheddar cheese. I have had a dash of soy sauce with no problem, but I don't advise it.

Good luck and get well...

I've eaten plenty of yoghurt and chocolate without incident, even cheddar cheese in small amounts. In reality very few foods cause a hypertensive reaction.

Thanks, Ash!

What are your experiences with tofu (or tempeh and seitan, other products made from soy)? How about tea and coffee?
