Facial flushing, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and wheezing are the most common symptoms of carcinoid syndrome. But other symptoms may develop, too. What to know:
Foods high in tyramine can trigger some of the symptoms of carcinoid syndrome, including headache, high blood pressure, palpitations, increased heart rate, flushing, and loss of consciousness in some people. Tyramine is a natural ingredient found in some foods.
The amount varies from food to food. Tyramine is high in spoiled proteins and foods that are aged or fermented, such as cheeses, smoked or salted meats, alcohol, and nuts. Avoid foods that are high in tyramine if you experience a strong reaction to them. You may be able to eat small amounts of foods that have less tyramine.
