Migraine Food Triggers

The culprit. Booooooo.

I had the worst sweet tooth, when I got home last Tuesday. I had finished the last of my Mochi red bean ice-cream cakes over the weekend and was desperate for sugar. I found a package of Godiva chocolates sitting on my kitchen cupboard. Dark-chocolate Godiva Truffles. As a girl who is not afraid to tempt fate, I had ONE and was knocked out for 3 days. Never again.

Here is a list of Food Migraine Triggers:

• alcoholic beverages
• sodium-nitrite-laden meat (hot dogs, deli meats, etc.)
• MSG
• aspartame
  
• chocolate
• citrus fruit
• tyramine (chemical found in aged cheese)
• caffeine (chemical found in coffee, tea, soda, chocolate, etc.)
• nuts
• onions
• beans
• pickled herring
• dried smoked fish
• dairy products
• sour cream
• yogurt (yeast extracts)
• fatty foods

I eat ALL of these foods on a weekly basis, except for pickled herring and dried smoked fish.
Kill me now.
