medication, diet or other factor relevant to your treatment, you should =
consult your physician.
I came across the following information in the Reader's Digest Medical =
Question and Answer Book, 1989 edition, while I was looking up something =
totally unrelated to PD. It refers to MAOI (MonoAmine Oxidase =
Inhibitor). One of the selective MAO-B inhibitors, in use for PD, is =
selegiline (Alzene; Carbex; Deprenyl; Eldeprine; Eldepryl; Jumex; =
Movergan; Plurimen).
"... avoid all foods containing tyramine, which is related to =
adrenaline and has similar though milder actions. Such foods include =
liver, smoked sausage and similar cold cuts, sardines, anchovies, =
pickled herring, all cheeses except cream and cottage, yoghurt, =
chocolates, and certain ripe fruits such as bananas and avocados.... =
also refrain from drinking beer and wine."
If you are on selegeline, and are concerned about this, I urge you to =
talk it over with the physician treating your PD.
Frankly, I am thinking of giving up selegeline! What, life without =
wine, cheese and chockies? Forget it! <grin>
