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.
