How it works
Eliminating foods that contain vasoactive amines (tyramine, histamine), nitrates, MSG, or alcohol removes potential neurochemical triggers that can lower the migraine threshold and initiate attacks.
Highly individual — unnecessary elimination can restrict diet without benefit. Use a food diary to identify actual triggers before eliminating broadly. Some apparent food triggers may be early migraine symptoms rather than causes.
Dietary changes
Consider speaking to a GP, dietitian, or naturopath before making significant changes to your diet, particularly if you have an existing health condition.

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
