Foods that Trigger Migraine Headaches

A friend of mine this weekend wanted to know what common foods can trigger off migraine attacks, and it may be worth listing them on the board too for all, since migraines are so common today. But, trigger foods are not the be all and end all of the matter, because there are stress links as well as emotional inputs, hormonal influences, and some medications as well.

The commonest foods which can cause difficulty (but sometimes what affects one person is fine for another) include

peanuts and peanut butter

caffeine in all products, not just coffee dairy products yeast some beans (which includes peanut), as well as broad, lima, Italian, lentil, soy, peas avocados dried meats sauerkraut pickled herrings canned soups and packet soup mixes chicken livers ripe banana soya products as well as the bean itself sodium nitrate, which is used to preserve hot dogs, bacon and cured meats the preservative benzoic acid and its associated compounds MSG, common name for monosodium glutamate, a flavor enhancer which is now in almost universal use in almost all processed foods nuts sourdough breads cheeses which have been aged, i.e. cheddar red wines, beer, champagne, vermouth

chocolate anchovies

And if the list seems depressingly long, there are other food triggers as well, but the good news is that most of the list comes from the highly processed and manufactured food products so aren't too difficult to identify, test, and eliminate from the diet.
