Food Triggers for Migraine Headaches....

[Guest guest]

Looks like we've had a lot of good info on the group about Migraines. For those who suffer from Migraines, here is a list of things to consider or look into: Food triggers (see list below) - the one trigger I pin-pointed is Caffeine! Histamine Hormonal - If you still have cycles, chart them and see "where" in your cycle you have Migraines and if there is any pattern. Menstrual migraines can often occur when estrogen drops -- your Estrogen levels drop to their lowest when starting your period. Hugs, Chelle Google: "Food triggers for Migraines" The most common 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.
