Migraine Relief

MIGRAINE SUPPLEMENTS

Certain foods may trigger migraine headaches. Some of these include:

• Chocolate
• Cheese
• Monosodium glutamate (MSG), a flavor enhancer found often in food from Chinese restaurants
• Foods containing the amino acid tyramine (found in red wine, aged cheese, smoked fish, chicken livers, figs, and some beans)
• Nuts
• Peanut butter
• Some fruits (like avocado, banana, and citrus)
• Onions
• Dairy products
• Meats containing nitrates (bacon, hot dogs, salami, cured meats)
• Fermented or pickled foods

A food allergy test can pinpoint specific foods to avoid. The right supplement may help ease or prevent migraine headaches.
