What foods must I avoid before ayahuasca?
Direct answer
Aged, fermented, cured and high-tyramine foods (aged cheese, cured meats, soy sauce, kombucha, sauerkraut), plus alcohol, recreational drugs and — critically — SSRIs and other serotonergic medications. Salt, sugar, spicy food and pork are traditionally cut for at least 3–7 days as well.
