When I met Alex, my husband, he was in his early thirties and had been suffering from severe migraines for over two decades. He, like so many others, had tried various treatments including eliminating certain foods from his diet without success. Dealing with the pain and discomfort of migraines had become an accepted and 'normal' part of his life. A cooking experiment with a food that he had not eaten since childhood resulted in an immediate and extreme reaction (including a migraine) and convinced both of us that food was in some way responsible for his migraines. By this time the Alex's migraines were becoming extremely debilitating with one often immediately following another. Our path to finding the culprit was not easy or quick but eventually we discovered the cause - a very low tolerance to tyramine. Within a couple of weeks of a low tyramine diet, the migraines stopped. Having watched the suffering that migraine can cause, I decided to produce this booklet in the hope that the same degree of relief can be experienced by others. The information in this booklet is presented in two parts. Part One Evidence provides you with brief summaries of research that has linked food, in one way or another, with migraines. This includes information from more than 50 studies and covers the following:
Part Two Food Chemicals provides information on some of the food chemicals that have been implicated in migraines including amines, caffeine, histamine, MSG, serotonin, and tyramine.

The Print For Yourself Food Diary is also included as a free bonus. Food Intolerance CD as this may save you money.
