Title: Besides Water... Any Food connections
Post by Melissa11-8 on Dec 1^st, 2002, 3:44am

I know that the Migraine trigger lists are crap. But the other night, I couldn't help noticing that I had a horrible night after having pizza. Not sure if it is because of the Steroid Im on and the extra salt. But I was reading the post tonight about the salt balances and the extra water and thought maybe there was other info out there.

Thanks for any thoughts

Melissa, the migraine list is not crap for migraneurs...

For clusters it seems everybody has their personal poison package.

When eating out, MSG is a frequent trigger. Salt in large quantities needs nothing else to help, as it ups your blood pressure. Any alcohol with your meal? That does for most clusterheads.

Don't buy your pizza's there again, and don't take them with lots of anchovy or salami.

Try vegetarian restaurants, they tend to use much less salt. And ask about msg, when ordering.
