Found one more tidbit: "Approximately 10 to 25 mg of tyramine is required for a severe reaction compared to 6 to 10 mg for a mild reaction." (Source: http://nepenthes.lycaeum.org/Misc/maoi.foods.html)
Granted, this is an older list, but I would think the above rule of thumb is still accurate.And here's an answer to a question I had a while back but never could get answered. I was wondering if you had several items that were each acceptable in small doses if the total effect could give you a reaction. And, how long does it take to clear your system of tyramine. For example, if I had a bunch of coffee in the morning, could I have a bunch more at night? Anyway: "Tyramine gets digested pretty quickly, and likely clears the gut in 12 hours or so."
