How can we identify if food is a cause of migraine headaches?
If you have noticed some sensitivity to certain types of food, start a diet that will not include those “suspicious food”. If you get rid of the migraine headache add those foods back to your diet. If migraines occur again, then you will be able to identify which foods cause you headaches and you should avoid these foods. If this is the case, the dietician should give you alternative foods, nutritionally similar to those that you removed from your diet in order to ensure an adequate nutritional intake. Food that can cause migraine headaches The alcohol, particularly red wine, some meals containing nitric and nitrous esters or salts such as processed meats and sausages, can lead to migraine headache crisis. The tyramine contained in old cheese is present in certain types of dishes such as Chinese, which can also be a factor for beginning a migraine crisis.
