Tyramine is an amino acid present in most foods.  It gets higher in aged foods like cheese, yogurt, deli means, and leftovers and in soy, snow peas, and dried beans.

This causes no problem in most people.  Those who are tyramine sensitive, however, it can trigger severe brain fog, migraine attacks, vomiting, gastrointestinal problems, high blood pressure, and heartbeat irregularity.

This episode discusses what tyramine is, how it affects tyramine sensitive people, and how and why to eat a low tyramine diet.
