Avatar n tn BUT I HAVE LOOKED INTO PEOPLE WITH TYRAMINE ALLERGIES (SEE HEALTHBOARD SITES) and tyramine appears to have the same effects.

There are already enough potential gastric side effects without adding anything else. I think there should be enough foods containing 20 grams of fat in that list that you could eat.
