I’ve been getting bad headaches since I was a teenager. At first, I didn’t know what they were and why I was getting them, then it turned out to be a migraine and not just any old headache. Since then, I have learned to avoid foods that give me a migraine such as MSG or mono sodium glutamate, chocolate, cheese and wine. Combining these foods make me get a migraine much faster for some reason. MSG is the worst of these four for me, and so I am careful about pre-packaged soups and other foods that usually have it as a major ingredient and also make sure to eat at Chinese restaurants that do not use it.
