Did You Know That Migraines Is....

[Eugenia06]

Did you know that the food we eat can sometimes be a migraine trigger. For instance... When I eat beef, I get migraines real bad in the middle of the month, I would have to say about 2 or 3 in the morning. My head pounds so hard that it wakes me up. I vomit without a warning. I can only eat chicken and turkey. Since I stop eating beef, I dont suffer from migraines in the middle of the night unless I eat some chocolate before I go to bed. Have you noticed it?

There are food triggers that can prompt migraines.  The most common are certain cheeses and wine as well.  I suffer from migraines myself, but I cannot ascertain any food connection (except that if I am late on a meal I have a higher probability of having a migraine the following day).

i've found anything with a lot of sugar in it can cause Migraines

Spicy foods, and spheghetti sauce also trigger my migraines. I found that ironic also, that my body rejects it like beef does. If I wait too late in the day to eat, I will have a migraine all day, and I will not eat. I sure do miss eating spicy buffalo wings and lasagna.

My dad gets migraines when he eats chocolate and nuts....I get it for lack of sleep and dehydration.

A lack of sleep can also be an issue for me. But worse of all the cigarette smoke give me an instant migraine.

I've been fighting migranes for years. Several different drs and no results. Finally after a ct they found a problem with a blood vessel around the brain. Medication has helped me immensly.

Things with sulfites have been theorized (red wines).  There are lots of different types of migraines though, with different triggers possible. I have frequent occular migraines and lose vision- it usually happens when i have been in bright light and straining my eyes. My neurologist told me they no longer look at migraines as a bad headache, but an actualy neurological disorder with evidence that damage occurs to the brain.

I have migraines really bad and when I quit eating meat period they have pretty much stopped.  But now I get them once in awhile because ever since I had hysteractmy I been getting around that time of the month for some reason.  My hormone levels are normal so doctors and I cannot figure it out. LOL.  Also since I stopped eating meat last summer I have dropped 75 pounds too.  So it was great to stop eating meat.  I have never felt more healthy in my life.

Thank you all for the insight.  I actually never thought about meat causing migraines.  I get horrible complex headaches and have tried everything to get rid of them.

I knew there were triggers, but I didn't know food could be one of them! I used to get frequent migraines during my high school years. It took me two years to "grow out of them." Now I rarely have them, and if I do, it's because of dehydration.

There are also studies suggesting that wind (especially certain types) can trigger migraines.
