In reply to MAOI and Yeast Extracts, posted by Debby on January 4, 2000, at 18:12:32
My doctor mentioned this one as one of those certifiably bad things to consume (unlike many other supposed "forbidden foods") while taking an MAOI by conventional methods. I doubt you would get much out of it at the doses it would require to be harmless. I guess marmite is right out. I'm not sure about vegemite (not a yeast extract per se, but plenty yeasty and fermented).
Frankly, having tried vegemite on toast, I don't need any excuse to stay away ;).
> Dietary Restrictions for MAOI's indicate that yeast extracts should be avoided.
> Does anyone have information about yeast extracts and hypertensive crisis? Specifically, can small amounts of yeast extracts be tolerated without causing a hypertesive crisis?
