> My pdoc said the restrictions are greatly overstated. He said that the only wine to avoid is Chianti, although I've read elesewhere that even that is "O.K".

Yup, it is. The original report of high tyramine levels in Chianti wine used an older method than the current gold standard (high-pressure liquid chromatography). The finding was never confirmed.

(BTW, I drink Chianti every now and then.)

About the weight gain, it doesn't happen to *everybody* and I think women may be more at risk. If you do find that you're gaining significant amounts of weight (*don't* obsess over it!), remember you can always ask to switch. Parnate doesn't cause weight gain (like, I don't think such a reaction has ever been reported, in nearly 40 years!)/.

The foods that I am careful about (that I can think of offhand, anyway):
-aged cheese
-tap beer
-sauerkraut
-soy products
-aged meat
-a couple of weird ones, like fava bean pods and banana peels

Also, liver seems to cause problems pretty often even though fresh liver is supposed to be safe. It may be that liver is especially prone to spoilage. Anyway, is it really so bad to have to give up liver?
