I hate my head

By ucblockhead (Thu Jan 27, 2011 at 10:56:56 PM EST) (all tags)

Stupid Tyramine.

(Whining inside.)

Here's a list of things I should avoid in order to prevent migraines:

Wine, especially red.
All cheeses except ricotta and cream cheese. (Especially asagio and parmesan.)
Draft beer and/or microbrews.
Liqueurs and vermouth
Caffeine
Aspartame
Dried fruit
Bananas, figs, avocados, oranges, grapes, raisins
Dried fish
smoked fish
Eggplant
All soy products, including soy sauce and teriyaki sauce and miso soup
MSG
Chocolate

In limited quantities. Basically, the more tyramine I get, the higher the chance of a migraine and a blood pressure spike.

I didn't mention that the following are also on the list:

Pork, especially bacon.
Sausage and cured meats.
Smoked meats.
Any sort of jerky.

Sourdough is a no-no? by muchagecko (2.00 / 0) #7 Fri Jan 28, 2011 at 12:15:20 AM EST

Crap. That explains my most recent migraine.

A purpose gives you a reason to wake up every morning.
So a purpose is like a box of powdered donut holes?

It's not so bad as other things. "Limit quantities" not "don't eat".

That's most of my diet (though I avoid aspartame as I don't like the taste).

FWIW... by Metatone (2.00 / 0) #10 Fri Jan 28, 2011 at 08:34:33 AM EST

my mother's migraines stopped only when she stopped eating bread. She then restarted with cheese and chocolate and no problems... apparently there's something in a lot of commercial breads that just makes everything else more likely to trigger a migraine... but equally I guess that means that Tyramine wasn't actually her problem...

so I didn't know what tyramine was by garlic (2.00 / 0) #11 Fri Jan 28, 2011 at 11:05:34 AM EST

so I looked it up here. Apparently it (with an MAOI) can cause cheese effects, one of which includes migraines.

: Yup by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #13 Fri Jan 28, 2011 at 11:13:24 AM EST

And the MAOI causes susceptibility, though some poor bastards like me get the susceptibility without being on the drug.

I get migraines, but not associated with foods.

funny you post this.. by LilFlightTest (2.00 / 0) #15 Sat Jan 29, 2011 at 12:26:23 AM EST

i just had a migraine today. I've discovered that the only real way to avoid them altogether is to be pregnant...and that results in even more nausea.
