There are many migraine sufferers who are saying that there is a connection between eating certain kinds of food and drinking certain kinds of beverages and their migraine attacks. It is a link though that science is yet to prove. The problem is, food triggers differ from one migraine sufferer to another. This means that there is no fixed prescriptions as to what foods to eat and what to avoid for migraine sufferers. Each patient has to figure out what foods are safe for them and what triggers an attack. The best way to do this is through an elimination diet.
To perform an elimination diet, the first thing that you need to do is to write down a list of foods that you think is triggering an attack. Simply trace back the times when you had an attack and what you ate prior to that episode. Try to go into the details such as the ingredients of the particular meals that you ate and even the source of the food. Once you have a list move on to the next step.
The second step is the hardest to do and that is not to eat anything that seems to trigger a headache until a suspect has been identified. Add items back one at a time in your diet until you will be able to identify a trigger. When you already know the triggers, then you need to avoid them.
You should continue the diet even after you have identified the first trigger. It is common that a migraine suffer has many food triggers. You need to identify all of the triggers for the elimination diet to work for you.
For many migraine sufferers, the trigger is not just a single type of food but a group of food. This is the reason why some patients do not get attacks from eating avocados but suffers from a headache after eating guacamole which contains other known migraine triggers.
