Tyramine is an amino acid that forms when proteins break down. It's found in aged, fermented, or spoiled foods. For people taking MAO inhibitors or those with tyramine sensitivity, it can cause headaches, elevated blood pressure, and other reactions.
- Choose fresh over aged, fermented, or preserved foods
- Eat protein foods fresh and store properly
- Be especially careful if taking MAO inhibitor medications
- Common high-tyramine foods include aged cheese, cured meats, and soy sauce
- Ripeness affects tyramine - choose less ripe fruits

What to know about peach
Peaches are a classic stone fruit and a classic FODMAP trigger. Their standout issue is sorbitol, a sugar alcohol common to stone fruit that is poorly absorbed and ferments in the gut. Peaches are also high in salicylates and act as a histamine liberator, so a ripe peach can cause bloating, an itchy mouth or flushing in sensitive people even though the flesh itself is low in histamine.
Watch for
- High in sorbitol, the sugar alcohol shared across stone fruit, which draws water into the intestine and commonly causes bloating, wind and loose stools
- High in salicylates, a frequent trigger for people who react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods
- Histamine liberator, so peaches can bring on itching, flushing or headaches despite being low in histamine themselves
- High FODMAP overall, from sorbitol plus some excess fructose, so tolerance drops fast with a larger serving
