Question: Does anyone get sick from shredded parmesan!?
I get very sick from it!. A little on spaghetti is fine but if I use it on pizza or garlic bread I get extremely sick!. It took me a while to pinpoint it as a trigger so now I'll stop eating it!. I was just wondering if anyone else attacks from it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Parmesan is an aged cheese and is high in glutamate and tyramine (a pressor amine)!. If you are taking certain drugs, such as MAO inhibitors, aged cheese can be dangerous due to the tyrmine!. Monoamine oxidase (MAO) is found in the gastrointestinal tract and inactivates tyramine; when drugs prevent the catabolism of exogenous tyramine, this amino acid is absorbed and displaces norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve ending and epinephrine from the adrenal glands!. If a sufficient amount of pressor amines are released, a patient may experience a severe occipital or temporal headache, diaphoresis, mydriasis, nuchal rigidity, palpitations, and the elevation of both diastolic and systolic blood pressure may ensue
If you happen to be sensitive to glutamate, the cheese also would be a problem!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
