Chana,
I agree with Debbie's list . . . except I've never had problems with chicken . . . was it spicy? All of the things she mentioned contain MSG . . . a big CH starter for me. The thing is, the MSG only bothers me when I'm in my "season" of CH. Same as beer. If I'm not in my season, the beer or MSG has no effect on me. I also avoid dairy products and caffeine. Even though caffeine will reduce the expanded blood vessels, they rebound and expand more the next time for me, until no amount of caffeine will save me. And then the CH is a 10. Good luck with finding your foods to cut out.
