A glass of red wine or a piece of
chocolate may be a treat for your
tastebuds, but they can also be a real
pain the neck (and head).
Some foods contain ingredients that
trigger headaches in many eaters.
These include: caffeine; alcohol; tyramine
(found in red wine, beer, aged cheese,
nuts and chocolate); and tannins (found in
foods such as apple juice, blackberries,
coffee, tea, chocolate and red wine).
If you suspect a particular food is
causing your headaches, you don't eat it
for two weeks, then try it again. If
the headaches come and go with the
elimination and reintroduction, you may
want to consult a health professional.
