Migraine Triggers

Common Foods That Can Cause Migraines

The concept of "migraine triggers" changed my life.

Many migraine headaches are triggered by various foods, including caffeine, chocolate, MSG, processed meats, aged cheeses, nuts, alcohol (esp. red wine) and non-clear vinegars, certain fruits including citrus fruits and bananas, onions, fresh yeast-risen baked goods, and aspartame.

While a complete discussion of dietary triggers for migraine is beyond the scope of this page, this is definitely an avenue to pursue if you have migraines. Keeping a food log for a month to see which triggers affect you can be extremely helpful.

Personally, I suffered terrible migraines for years, thinking they were sinus headaches. When I was diagnosed properly and educated about the various food triggers for migraines, I was able to almost completely control them without drugs. Pretty cool!

Here's a website that can give you more information about dietary triggers for migraine.
