How have other folks handled food-related migraine triggers?
I don't have any specific food triggers, as in "If I eat X I get an instant migraine". However, all my food triggers are of the "push me over the edge" variety. So, if I haven't been sleeping + a weather front is moving in + I've been in bad pain for a few days, then certain foods will most definitely kick me over the edge an into a full-blown migraine. Those include soy, vinegar, lime and lemon, most alcohol (esp. wine), chocolate, and sharp cheeses. Any foods with nitrates will usually give me a dull, precursor headache no matter what, so I tend to avoid those anyway.
I've never heard of the low tyramine diet; definitely going to be looking into that, thanks for the heads' up!
