Guest guest Posted May 24, 2012 Report Share Posted May 24, 2012 From what I found online its more because the chocolate can cause tyramine headaches/trigger the same clusters that tyramine does to cause migraines. From: rd-usa [mailto:rd-usa ] On Behalf Of Rowell, Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2012 1:05 PM To: rd-usa Subject: Low Tyramine Diet Can someone explain to me why chocolate is not allowed on a low tyramine diet? Is it the small amount of caffeine, theobromine (sp), or what? There is not a lot of tyramine in it. W.
