avoid common migraine food triggers

July 22nd, 2009

No one knows for sure what causes migraine headaches.  The most likely to answer to-date is that a serious of small irritations or reactions pile up until, finally, a migraine headache is triggered.  Migraine triggers are different for each individual, but many migraineurs claim that a particular food or combination of foods will push them over the edge into a headache.

CondimentsSalad dressings are a trigger for many.  The reason is not known, but is probably tied to a combination of other triggers all coming together in one place.

Keep in mind that most science disagrees with migraineurs when it comes to food triggers.  There are no conclusive studies indicating a link between certain foods and migraine headaches, so all information is anecdotal.  The thing is there is a lot, tons in fact, of anecdotal evidence for the link.
