How much tempeh did you eat?
Could you describe how the reaction felt like? I want to be able to recognize any signs of a reaction with enough time to be able to do something about it. Do you know how high was your blood pressure?
Have you tried eating tofu? I really do find it strange that it doesn't affect me.
I usually eat the one from Nasoya, the lite firm tofu (http://www.nasoya.com/nasoya/tofu_litefirm.html) and I tried the silken as well for dessert, (http://www.nasoya.com/nasoya/tofu_silken.html), and if I remember well, the dessert turned out so good that I ended up having a 2nd serving.
I also had tofu twice at a restaurant, which I know could be more dangerous because they aren't as careful as I would be about storage and freshness. I didn't have a reaction thankfully.
So who knows.. it's hard to tell what's going on, whether it's the tyramine amount, or the individual person. That's why I want so bad to find the exact amount of tyramine in foods, so I can have a little more control over this, which seems pretty random sometimes.
So if you could tell me about your reaction, every sign and symptom, and how much tempeh you ate (and what kind, by the way? I buy the lightlife:

I would really appreciate it.Thanks again!
> You are lucky about the tempeh. I had some and I had a bit of a reaction ... not a huge, but enough to take some thorazine.
> Every once in a while I try some of the foods in small amounts and see how I feel. I've been able to eat cheese with no ill effects. It's strange.
> Take care.
