After 10 years of migraine auras and pain I have started a blood pressure medication but I am told alot of foods aren't good and cause migraines . Cans someone give me examples of food I cant eat that wont effect.
They say ketchup is the number 1 trigger, red eyes need to be avoided keep a food journal and list everything you eat that day. Its the only way the doctor and i could narrow down my triggers. Put pain level from 1-10 on each day. Hope it helps. I had to give up a lot of foods and still have migraines daily but the pain scale isn't as bad as it was
It depends on what your specific trigger is. For me, mines is eating too much salty foods, will cause a migraine for me. So I need to watch my sodium intake.
food triggers are different for everyone.Red Wine is a NONO for me.
Hey AshLeigh! VERY top of the list is red wine and artificial sweeteners. I agree with Linda, the list is endless, however, you CAN google it. It IS different for everyone. I would suggest a daily food/beverage DETAILED list for a good week or two. By detailed I mean include salt, pepper, spices, condiments, etc...DO NOT exclude anything! Let us know how it goes. Good luck?
The list is very long. For starters msg nitrates sweeteners like aspartame red wine alcohol lunch meat bananas citrus fruit. Any type of preservatives. Chocolate caffeine the list goes on. You can go on a web site and they will tell you. Not everyone has the same food triggers but the ones I mentioned are usually true for us migraines. Hope I helped you alittle.
