Foods That May Trigger Migraines

By:


Whatever causes migraine headaches is still yet to be known. Some of the suggestions that people have come up with that may lead to migraines having small irritations here and there or piling up of some form of discomfort. Each and every individual has a different migraine trigger. Quite a number of people who have been getting migraines claim that there are certain kinds of food or food combinations that may cause one to experience this type of headache.

When it comes to science, there is usually a disagreement between the people who are used to getting migraines (let us call them migraineurs) and the science that food causes migraines. There is no extensive research that has been done to prove that certain kind of foods or combinations of food can give one a migraine.

Food that may cause one to have a migraine may be anything but it seems there are certain kinds of food that are more prone to causing this discomfort:

Condiments: One of the triggers of migraine is salad dressing. Though the reason may not be known, it may be as a result of combination of other triggers.

Cheese: This has been found out by many migraineurs to be one of the major triggers. The culprits in this sector happen to be the aged cheese or the hard cheese. The softer cheeses like new and cream cheese seem to be acceptable.

Spices and additives: Using any kind of spice in food could trigger a migraine. The trigger part of the spice is in the sense. This is because spices have a certain kind of scent and to those who are sense sensitive, it could trigger a migraine. Some of the seasonings that are used that may be candidates for triggering migraines are food dyes, artificial sweeteners, monosodium glutamate (MSG) and vinegar.

Processed Meats: One type of compound that is believed to be another major trigger is nitrates. The most common place where this compound is found is in processed meat like sausage, bacon, hot dogs etc.

For those who are used to getting migraines and believe that food has a role to play, it would be good if they would change their diet to avoid the headaches.
