“There is no question that chemical additives contained in food are vasoactive and among other mechanisms can cause true episodic migraine.”
recurrent abdominal pain caused by many primary G.I. diseases, may contribute to the occurrence of tension-type headache. What about food and migraine? The differences between food allergies and dietary triggers should be discussed. There is no question that chemical additives contained in food are vasoactive and, among other mechanisms, can cause true episodic migraine. These reactions are not immune mediated. There are discussions, disagreement, and some research regarding which food and what quantities have a role in migraine and possibly in tension-type headache. I routinely exclude foods that the patient or parents feel play a role, plus: caffeine chocolate lunch meats aged cheese monosodium glutamate (MSG). H. Adequate exercise
I ask for complete cooperation for 6 to 8 weeks and then consider reintroducing food in moderation. Lists of other provocative foods are easily found.
