Why tyramine food checker matters
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 winged beans
The winged bean is the plant agronomists once nicknamed a supermarket on a stalk, because you can eat the frilled young pods, the leaves, the flowers, the seeds and the starchy tuber from a single vine. For a trigger journal that abundance is the complication: the five parts do not behave the same way, and the grades here describe the bean itself. Galacto-oligosaccharides come in at E and total FODMAPs at D, which is legume behaviour and the main reason winged bean sits badly with an IBS gut. Fermentation grades D for SIBO and nickel sits at C. Nearly everything else is mild rather than clean: histamine, salicylates, oxalate, tyramine and free glutamate all land at B, and it is clear on gluten, lactose, dairy protein, sulfites, nitrites and nightshades.
Watch for
- Galacto-oligosaccharides grade E, the single worst thing about it for a sensitive gut, and the mature seeds carry more of that load than the young pods do
- Total FODMAPs grade D and SIBO fermentation grades D, so if you are mid-elimination this is not a neutral vegetable just because it looks like a green bean
- The mature seeds need real cooking.Like soy they carry trypsin inhibitors that heat deactivates, so raw or lightly warmed seeds are a bad idea while the young pods are routinely eaten barely cooked
- Which part you ate matters more here than with almost any other food.Log the pod, the leaf and the tuber separately or your pattern will be unreadable
- Nickel grades C and histamine, salicylate, oxalate and tyramine all sit at B, so nothing else is high but nothing else is spotless either.Expect it to read as background rather than a spike
