Jon: The MAOI diet is not as rigid as it used to be (say my doctors). I eat mild cheeses, drink mild beers, eat chocolate. There are certain things I never touch: aged cheeses, aged beers,
red wine, decongestants and more. Your doctor can advise. I have never had a MAOI crisis because
of what I ate and I have been on MAOIs since l983. As far as how much the diet has impacted my life -- very little. But then, I would eat dirt if it relieved my depression, which can be very severe.
