> I did not know about kefir and tyramine. I am on the Emsam patch and drink various kefirs w/o mishap. If I had known, I wouldn't have.
What dose of Emsam are you on? I read that the lowest dose, 6 mg, doesn't have dietary restrictions. That study I posted about tyramine levels in various brands of kefir in Turkey found that some brands contained just trace amounts. Maybe what you've been drinking out of plastic bottles contains just trace amounts of tyramine. Be careful with the kefir you're making from the grains. If you do drink it, it would be a good idea to start with small amounts and monitor your blood pressure frequently.
