If you experience migraines, you know when one is about to occur. You feel the pain creep across your forehead or up the back of your neck. People have different triggers for migraines, and determining what your trigger is can be a big obstacle to overcome. Once you identify your trigger, you can do your best to avoid it and reduce the frequency of migraines<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not a lot of people suspect their diet to trigger migraines, but certain foods can easily cause your head pain<\/a>. According to research, a variety of foods and beverages contribute to nausea, throbbing, pounding, and some visual symptoms of migraines. If you want to experiment with your diet to be free of migraines<\/a>, consider eliminating the following foods, which have been known to set off pain.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alcohol<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a beverage that\u2019ll give you a headache whether you get migraines or not. An evening cocktail is relaxing while you casually sip it, but it can contribute to migraine tension. The Association of Migraine Disorders lists alcohol as one of the most common dietary triggers<\/a>. There are certain compounds in alcohol, such as histamine and congeners, which may be to blame. Alcohol is also a diuretic, which can cause dehydration (another migraine trigger). Regardless of what the research says, it may be a good idea to avoid beer, wine, and spirits if alcohol is your trigger.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods With Phenylalanine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What is this compound? Well, it is an essential amino acid that exists in myriad protein sources. You can find it in meat, fish, eggs, dairy products<\/a>, nuts, seeds, and legumes. High doses of this amino acid have been linked to headaches<\/strong><\/a>, including migraines. Because phenylalanine exists in many healthy protein sources, avoiding it completely may prove difficult, not to mention a questionable decision for your overall health. Avoiding all foods that contain phenylalanine creates a highly restrictive eating pattern. If you suspect this to be your migraine trigger, just consider cutting down on these foods, or make sure that you don\u2019t overeat them.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Caffeine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Caffeine is a mixed bag for migraines. It is a common trigger food for migraines, but some people drink a cup of coffee or soda and know relief is on the way. Unfortunately, there is not a sufficient amount of research on this matter, so scientists cannot give a definitive recommendation on caffeine consumption or avoidance for migraine relief<\/a>. That said, if you experience migraines and know that drinking caffeine negatively affects you, avoid it to the best of your ability. If you exceed 200 milligrams of caffeine daily and you suddenly stop drinking caffeine, you may experience a migraine as a withdrawal symptom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food Intolerances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Occasionally, headaches can stem from certain food intolerances<\/a>. According to research, migraines are very common in the setting of gluten, soy, and other food intolerances. If you have a food intolerance, be it to gluten, soy, or something else, you will usually experience symptoms within 12 to 24 hours after eating.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foods With Tyramine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have never heard of this compound, don\u2019t be hard on yourself because you won\u2019t see it on ingredient lists. It exists in both plant and animal foods and is a byproduct of the breakdown of tyrosine, an amino acid. Some people experience headaches from foods that contain tyramine, such as red wine, figs, aged cheese, and smoked fish. Whether or not you get a headache depends on how much of these foods you eat or drink, according to health experts. Preliminary research shows that people who are prescribed monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs) may experience migraines after eating tyramine-containing foods because of the chemical interaction that occurs.<\/p>\n
