Bob, you're right. So many of us have said the same thing over and over. As you get used to being on the 'diet' you will know what you can get away with.

When just starting a MAO, it is best to follow the diet carefully. As you continue on it, you will often try something that could be considered forbidden. I do it from time to time, but never eat more than a few bites of something on the forbidden list.

I have gotten headaches from cheese in the past but the only real serious reaction I have gotten was from combining a MAO and a stimulant, which can be very serious. At a low dose I was OK,but I pushed it farther than I should have and I paid the price.

Actually the food lists that are the best identify which the levels of tyramine and some of those so called 'forbidden' food may contain small amounts of tyramine and therefore you can eat them in samll to moderate amounts, depending of the tyramine level in the foods. I'll see if I can find one of those lists and send it to you.
