Headaches Triggered by Food or Drink Remedies

Headaches can sometimes come on by what we eat or drink. Headaches are sometimes triggered by going too long without eating.

Scientists have learned certain foods and drinks hold the lead for triggering headaches. Some examples include:

• chocolate
• aged cheese
• cured meats
• alcohol
  
• certain additives in food or drinks such as MSG (monosodium glutamate)

Your food and drink headaches triggers will be different from mine or someone else's. Still yet, it is helpful to know common dietary triggers to headaches. Also pay attention to when you get a headache to identify if they are related to something you just drank or ate. I recommend keeping a small diary handy. Just jot down the headache and what you ate or drank. If you see a pattern to your headaches related to a certain food or drink, then avoid the culprit.

Some people get headaches after eating foods with compounds called biogenic amines such as histamine, tyramine and phenylethylamine. Some foods are higher in these compounds such as:

• tomatoes
• avocados
• spinach
• dark chocolate

Although the above foods are good for you in other ways, if you find they are triggering headaches you might want to first try decreasing the amount you eat since they are already high in the biogentic amines known to trigger headaches in some people. Other foods with generally higher biogenic amines include:

• alcoholic beverages
• fermented vegetables like sauerkraut
• processed meats like salami
• aged cheeses like Swiss,
• soy sauce
• some fish particularly if mishandled

Most people eat such foods without a problem. It is a complex issue that oftentimes can only be diagnosed by a physician, however, if you can pin down a food or drink that actually triggers headaches in you over and over again, it might be worthwhile to avoid the drink or food.

Headaches can also result from having caffeine in your system continuously on weekdays. As you do without high levels of caffeine perhaps on the weekend, you might be ending up with what is called "rebound vasodilation" and a headache results. It is a caffeine-withdrawal headache.

These are more likely to occur with a high daily caffeine intake and then a sudden drop off. Of course, an occasional headache can be treated with Tylenol or some other over the counter drug, yet, in an age when we also are warned so heavily about taking too many drugs, if you can pinpoint food or drink as the cause of your headaches and eliminate the culprit you are far better off. It is less expensive as well.

If you are a migraine-prone person keep your daily caffeine intake to 1 or 2 cups coffee or tea per day and maintain a regular schedule. If you cannot keep a consistent dose and schedule it is probably wiser to just avoid caffeine as people who are prone to migraine headaches may react quicker to caffeinated beverages than people who are not.

Headaches may also be a symptom of celiac disease requiring complete elimination of gluten from your diet. It is estimated 1 in 5 people have confirmed celiac disease and suffer from headaches. Research shows celiac patients have less headaches on a strict gluten-free diet.

This does not mean everyone who has headaches should be evaluated for these conditions or eliminate gluten altogether. If you have ruled out all other food and drinks as the cause of your headache, you might entertain the cause as being gluten related. Only a qualified physician can give you an accurate diagnosis.

Be sure to follow a healthy diet, and exercise regularly.
