OK, sorry to post another food question about MAOIs, but I'm just full of unresolved questions in that regard.
Was at the grocery store tonight and started to really look at the labels on the salad dressings. Lots of potential problems there if I'm reading things properly. SO, are the amounts of the forbidden substances small enough to get away with consuming these, or have you had problems with them?
I already posted about the presence of parmesan and romano cheeses in some vinaigrettes. However, other red flags I see are buttermilk in ranch dressings, MSG as a flavoring, and even the dreaded yeast extract in some.
And what about the vinegars used in some dressings? Some contain either white or red balsamic or red wine vinegars. Given that some balsamic vinegars are aged for years, will the small amount consumed pose a problem? I'm guessing the balsamic vinegars used commercially are not that old, as like red wines, the older the balsamic vinegar, the more expensive it becomes.
I thought I had read somewhere that one didn't need to really worry about dressings (soy sauce excepted, of course), but now I'm not so sure. Help!

In reply to Salad dressings and Nardil, posted by proudfoot on August 27, 2010, at 20:29:36
Once again, I am not a good example. I eat all sorts of salad dressings because I literally live off of salad (i have an eating disorder). I have never had a bad reaction to any except the ones with MSG because MSG always gives me a headache. Why don't you make your own dressing then you will know everything that is going into it. I think as time goes on with Nardil you will panic less about the food restrictions. I think it's normal to be scared because that is all you hear about when you hear about an MAOI.
Have you started the Nardil yet and how is it working for you?
