If you are willing to present yourself to a headache specialist and he confirms these triggers, you would be on way to the medical history books!

A quick scan of the medical literature on food as triggers revealed very little (over a span of nearly 40-years) and most material was focused on migriane  and foods. Cluster was a rare mention.

This is the only substantive report I found.

Neurogenic vascular headaches, food and chemical triggers.

Abstract
Recent evidence has demonstrated that neurogenic vascular headaches are a combination of neurological primary events and secondary vasomotor changes. The neurological events involve the hypothalamus and sensory cortex with sympathetic hypofunction and noradrenergic abnormalities. A platelet theory has been proposed but has not really been confirmed as a legitimate cause of the neurogenic vascular headaches. FOOD AND CHEMICALS IN FOODS CAN ACT AS A PRECIPITATING FACTOR IN THE FOOD-SENSITIVE NEUROGENIC VASCULAR HEADACHE PATIENT. In these patients evidence is now being demonstrated to confirm this, but larger patient studies are needed. THE FOOD-SENSITIVE MIGRAINE PATIENT AND CLUSTER HEADACHE PATIENT MUST GIVE A GOOD HISTORY AND FOOD DIARY TO GO ALONG WITH ACTIVE CHALLENGES AND PROVOCATIVE TESTING IN ORDER TO DETERMINE THE CAUSATIVE FOODS. Any concomitant allergies of inhalants or environmentals must also be treated.

THE TREATMENT MODALITIES OF ELIMINATION AND ROTATION DIETS OR PROVOCATION NEUTRALIZATION MAY SUCCESSFULLY CONTROL THE HEADACHES WITHOUT THE NEED FOR CONTINUOUS MEDICATIONS.

Mike, it's not what I take, it's what I don't consume... It took four years to figure out deer meat triggered them.. During those four years I didn't even know there was a such thing as a cluster headache... I just knew that in the fall I'd wake up with the worst pain I'd ever felt... It's like someone is driving a spike through the top of my skull right behind my left eye, all the way through the roof of my mouth... Always the same side, not always in my sleep, but over fifty percent of the time... The only way I could cope would be to get in my truck and drive down a back road with my head hanging out the window... Scratching my scalp with fingernails or a brush helped too... Back then there was midrin or duridrin, something like that, the drug would ease it in about 20 minutes... Seemed the pills made me light sensitive but I would have gladly gone blind to stop those headaches... I was in my forties when they started and was an avid hunter and consumed deer meat my whole life... It was a stroke of luck figuring out the deer meat... After months without one, then hitting me that night and figuring the only thing different I had done was to eat deer meat... The reason I it took so long to figure out chicken did it was because I'm a huge chicken fan, (I'm like a crack addict for hot wings)... I eat chicken three to six times a week, or did... I'm no doctor, and my family practitioner and the neurologist I went to only seemed to want to prescribe pills for when they hit... Relpax was the last thing I'd taken.... But, if I don't eat chicken or deer meat I don't get them, if I eat either, I'm toast... Since chicken started triggering them last year at age 50, I figure its just a matter of time till something else starts triggering them...

LOCATING HEADACHE SPECIALIST

1. Yellow Pages phone book: look for "Headache Clinics" in the M.D. section and look under "neurologist" where some docs will list speciality areas of practice.

2.  Call your hospital/medical center. They often have an office to assist in finding a physician. You may have to ask for the social worker/patient advocate.

3. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or ; On-line screen to find a physician.

4. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or Look for "Physician Finder" search box. They will send a list of M.D.s for your state.I suggest using this source for several reasons: first, we have read several messages from people who, even seeing neurologists, are unhappy with the quality of care and ATTITUDES they have encountered; second, the clinical director of the Jefferson (Philadelphia) Headache Clinic said, in late 1999, that upwards of 40%+ of U.S. doctors have poor training in treating headache and/or hold attitudes about headache ("hysterical female disorder") which block them from sympathetic and effective work with the patient; third, it's necessary to find a doctor who has experience, skill, and a set of attitudes which give hope of success. This is the best method I know of to find such a physician.

5. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to or NEW certification program for "Headache Medicine" by the United Council for Neurologic Subspecialties, an independent, non-profit, professional medical organization.
        Since this is a new program, the initial listing is limited and so it should be checked each time you have an interest in locating a headache doctor.
=======
The past paragraph of that report suggests an approach which may give you total relief. In any case, working with a doc who has training/experience with complelx headache disorders gives the best potential for relief.
