Food triggers - migraine?

Stay away from CHEDDAR cheeses, RED wine, fried foods, super salty foods, large amounts of ANY chocolate, and STRESS - - - stress is the number one trigger for migraines, followed in many women by your monthly cycle, THEN food. I found mild exercise like walking, and cutting way back on the above mentioned foods, to be a MAJOR improvement in avoiding the nasty migraines - I feel for you - they are horrid. My migraines completely disappeared after I went through menopause - thank God!

Stay away from all refined sugar. If you absolutely must have something sweet, organic maple syrup.
