Question:
I know that the most common foods to be avoided are cheese and chocolate, but is it true that bananas can also cause migraine headaches too?
Answer:
The list is endless. Each individual responds differently. Personally cheese doesn't bother me at all, yet chocolate does. A big trigger for a lot of folks is Red Wine.Not a complete list here are some of the more common triggers: Food Triggers: Citrus fruits Tomatoes Preserved meats Dairy products Nuts Coffee Red wine Alcohol (especially for cluster headaches) Sulfites Preservatives/flavor enhancers/MSG Salt Olive Oil Coconut and coconut oil (including suntan lotions) Aspartame Environmental triggers include: Glare Loud or repetitive noise Strong odors (perfume) Certain weather conditions (dry winds, heat) Changes in the weather Altitude changes Chemicals such as insecticides Air pollution Second hand smoke Florescent lighting Flickering lights (computer monitors) Physiological triggers include: Stress Exercise Hormonal changes Birth control pills Too much or too little sleep Medicines such as antihistamines, aspirin or diuretics Hypoglycemia and missing meals Any other type of headache
