  • Foods to Avoid with Migraines (Dietary Migraine Triggers)
    Migraines are often pulsatile and unilateral headaches that are very debilitating and have associated symptoms. Migraines have a wide variety of possible triggers including foods and beverages along with other non-dietary triggers. In this lesson, we discuss a long list of these dietary triggers along with some research literature that further expounds upon why these foods and beverages cause/trigger migraines.

  • @mickeymch876

    I had migraines when I was very young but by the grace of God I outgrew them by age 12. I seemed to associate foods that I ate at the beginning of a migraine as a trigger but it doesn't necessarily mean that the food that I ate caused the migraine. At the beginning of one particular migraine my aunt gave me a tuna sandwich and a glass of cola. After that migraine I wouldn't eat tuna with mayonnaise (or anything else prepared with mayonnaise) or drink cola even though I did have the early stages of a migraine before I ate the sandwich and drank the cola. The thought of eating anything with mayonnaise or drinking cola was a bit nauseating. 49 years since my last migraine and I love both, go figure.
    I believe there are no specific foods that trigger migraines in all people but it's possible that on a personal level some foods that the sufferer has previously associated with migraines may in fact trigger a migraine in that individual. That same applies to smells.

    very good information. i have all the triggers mentioned as food triggers…however the walnut study as you mentioned how they were looking at that really is sort of backwards…depending on how they asked about walnuts. i never have noticed walnuts as a trigger, but because I DO NOT like them at all, i have never eaten them intentionally. i avoid them like other foods i have a great dislike for for some reason that is uncommon. but as far as food triggers, those are really the most noticeable ones i have continually had problems with; the worst being msg. the migraine is within minutes or half hour, and stays three days and is the worst kind i ever get.

    I have very severe chronic migraines. Coffee helps me.... Chocolate helps as well... I point out that I eat quality chocolate. I always wonder if the additives and preservatives in coffee creamer etc. causes more of an issue than the coffee etc. I also have urticaria, flushing, food cravings and emotional fluctuation etc as a prodromal. I have allergic reactions to all Wine. This was very interesting. Most alcahol makes my face feel like it is burning.... Oddly, I am allergic to walnuts.

      Interesting. I have suffered from severe chronic migraines as well, for 30+ years. They have decreased in frequency over the years, but I still get brutally severe migraines from time to time, as I did today, replete with multiple rounds of vomiting and dry heaves... I drink a single cup of coffee every morning and eat up to a full bar of quality dark chocolate a day and can do so for months and not have a migraine at all. However, I had a healthy serving of walnuts in my oatmeal this morning that I usually don’t have. Not sure I’ll be eating ever walnuts again.

    So I went to the hospital yesterday for what I thought was more serious than a bad migraine, as I was feverish, shaking, dizzy, my vision blurred and I couldn’t focus, vomiting and felt extremely lethargic like I could barely keep my eyes open. I just realized that I actually had eaten so many of these foods the day/ night before… such as orange juice, chocolate ice cream, a chocolate chip cookie with walnuts, but then I also had a very healthy dinner with white rice, avocado, sweet potato, cucumber and tofu. With this dinner (which I ate later than I usually eat dinner, about 9 pm) I also had a sparkling water with lime juice (more citrus juice). The next day when I had the migraine attack I hardly ate anything, in the morning I had a plum, a banana and a slice of avocado toast but vomited it all up shortly afterwards. I didn’t eat anything else until around 6 pm when I got out of the hospital. (All they did for me at the hospital was inject my neck with lidocaine shots.) I had a veggie sandwich (no cheese, no meat) on whole grain bread, a bag of lays chips, and a vitamin water from a subway just outside the hospital. I felt better but still not great. Now it’s the next day and I feel a little better but still have some pressure/ pain in my head. It’s crazy how long migraines last and how difficult they are to treat. I will not be eating anything past 6-7 pm anymore and definitely avoiding citrus juices and chocolate from now on. 😢

      @Letthembelightpeaceonelove Před 8 měsíci +1

      I definitely second on fasting. During and after a migraine attack I usually don’t eat and drink nothing but water or something that’s hydrating like electrolytes. Only eat unprocessed foods like vegetables, whole grains, some fruit (but not a lot since even fruit sugars can make a migraine worse). Definitely avoid processed meats and dairy. Avoid sugary or caffeinated drink. Avoid eating late at night, try to stop eating by 6-7 pm. These things all have helped me but then I’ll get moments of weakness where I ignore avoiding triggers and of course I get punished for it. 😢

    @-whiskey-4134 Před 7 měsíci +2

    Honestly, mine get so bad, I’d literally do anything and I mean ANYTHING to make them stop. It’s by far the worst and scariest thing I experience. It feels like my skull is being slowly being crushed in a vice while simultaneously being beat with a hammer, and someone shoving an ice pick through my eye. All of my senses become extremely heightened, and every little thing causes vomiting, dry heaving, I have moments up to like 20 seconds where I literally cant even get a breath in like I’m suffocating because my abdominal muscles are so tense, I cant expand my lungs, I get tingly, on the verge of passing out, I cant hold anything down, not even a sip of water. Severe dizziness, and vertigo, and it just increases in intensity over time. They last for about 12-14 hours. It’s something I wouldn’t even wish on my worst enemy. I’d rather be severely tortured than have a migraine. It’s by far the most painful thing I experience. To the point that I break down bawling my eyes out. My work never believed me when I’d call out, so recently I went in with one so they could actually see how bad they are for themselves and they finally believe me. Mind you, I work in a brightly lit kitchen with all kinds of sounds and smells. I’ve yet to find any over lap that causes them. It’s random. I may get 10 in a month, I may go 2 months without one. I just never know and that’s almost scarier than the migraines themselves. I’ve missed so many days of work, I’ve had so many tests done on me, and no one can give me any answers. They started about 11 years ago, and my god, they’ve only gotten worse with time. I’ve broken bones, have had severe skateboarding accidents, I’ve been deathly ill, I got covid really bad, and still, NOTHING can compare to a migraine. I know they say breaking your femur is the worst pain next to child birth, but I’d put migraines right in there too. And I’m not suicidal and I’d never do anything like that, but the pain and everything that comes with them gets so intense, I’d literally rather die. Again, I would never do anything to myself, But there are just no words in the English language to properly describe it, I’m being metaphorical for people who have never had them. I wish I knew what a just regular headache felt like. Its so debilitating, scary, painful, and honestly, I’d rather experience an eternity in Hell than ever have one again. Thank god my wife is so understanding and basically takes care of me like a child when it happens, because I literally cant take care of myself. Idk what I’d do without her. She’s a real one for standing by me all these years and going above and beyond to make it as bearable as possible when it happens.

    I have been hearing mixed reports about msg and while I can't eat ramen noodles without having a headache the next day I can eat Chinese food with no problem. I went to a Chinese buffet for Christmas dinner and pigged out hardcore. I was expecting to have a headache the next day, especially when I woke up, but nothing. Only a dull ache that came on about half way through the day because of physical activity (I think). Maybe there's different kinds of msg that are used in ramen but it seems to be one of the worst triggers after onion and now that I have cut it out of my diet my headaches are not as bad. Also I can eat pasta and some of the more expensive ramen but the cheaper cup O soup is a no go and I have no idea why.

    @Rev_GC Před rokem

    It's scary the lack of knowledge in medicine at times. And the method that professionals come to conclusions.
    Speaking to a number of the points made. I will start with the fact that migraines are almost always linked to gastric issues, so it's not surprising that foods are triggers, or precursors to other triggers (such as certain exercises and types of lighting).
    Not to sound like a broken record, but.... Fasting: effects people on a primarily non-ketogenic diet in regards to migraines, because of fluctuations in blood sugars effecting all manner of bodily functions. That one is easy to explain, because it's the opposite with those on (truely) ketogenic diets. Coffee: helps normalise, or stabalise, your blood sugar level, however this is totally undone by it being one of the "foods" most saturated in pesticides, so can easily trigger migraines via this pathway, in this way it is associated with gut inflammation. Dairy: in itself should not trigger migraines.... it does however because of the cheap ingredients used in most nowadays, ie; flavour and colours. Also most ice-cream has GMO corn (or other grain) derived thickener in the form of maltodextrin or dextrin. Yoghurt has "natural starch" often as GMO corn (or other grain) derivative. Cheese often has plant based rennin. All of those additives will trigger migraines independently.... either as the result of the method of processing, or from being GMO/laced with chemical pesticides such as glyphosate. But with aged cheese, as with aged meat, it's more than likely the proteins in the bacteria and funguses that are being reacted to also (by way of a immune response), or compounding with the GMO/pesticides. I have found that home made ice cream, yoghurt, and cheeses are fine to eat and never trigger migraines, if you are making it without "cheat" packets. Citrus fruits: like every plant produce natural pesticides as a defense against pests, citrus are higher in neurotoxins than other fruits, this is likely compounded by the heavy spraying on, and fumigation of, the majority of fruit crops, especially those imported. Alcohol: as above is more often than not made cheaply from GMO/heavily sprayed grain crops, and some mash added back into the mix for flavour. Less so in white spirits.... I'm sure you get the drift by now....
    I'm not going to beat the Lion diet drum again but look into it....
    Same causes for most illnesses common across the western world, and other places they have provided "aid": hormone disrupting, neurotoxic, pesticides, and other chemicals; in our food, water, other beverages, environment, and atmosphere. Yet the same people responsible for most of it are trying to scare you with a part percentage rise in plant food (that's greening the planet), and a non-existent rise in white supremacy. I hope that this helps people capable of critical thought and with a modicum of willpower to stop poisoning themselves as much as is practicable.

  • @dianerodriguez6546

    You stop the migraine headaches with coffee because caffeine is a type of pain reliever but it is also addictive and so when to stop drinking it especially when you have been drinking large amounts just priorly you will go through withdrawals and have withdrawal migraine headaches. The trick is if you want to stop drinking coffee with out the headaches, you start slowly and gradually weaning yourself off of coffee drinking. Say your accustomed to drinking 4 cups a day well the next day you only drink 3 or 2 cups, then next day 2 cups , then 1 cup, and lastly 1/2 cup and you’ll be pain free.

      Caffeine can work really well as a treatment (not preventative) for some if it is not used regularly. If you were just recently prescribed that by a doc, and you have not tried a bunch of other meds, I would find another doc. That sort of recommendation is at least thirty years old. I would assume the doc is not at all up to date on migraine treatment if that was the first thing your doc recommended.
