Researchers have finally found proof regarding well-known suspects of migraine triggers.
The good news is that you can indeed indulge in some of them if you do it the right way.
Even though migraine sufferers have reported for many decades that red wine and certain weather changes can trigger migraines, there has never been proof until recently.
Part of the challenge was because these two suspects don’t affect all sufferers, and even those that are affected aren’t always affected with every exposure.
Study authors following participants from Brazil studied the effects of different varieties of wine.
What they noticed along with the regularity and predictability of the migraine was that certain varieties were worse than others for severity.
Those wines high in tannins like Malbecs and Tanats caused a higher frequency of migraines and they were also more severe. This led doctors commenting on the study to conclude that if you do have migraine headaches and like red wine, stick to those with lower tannin content.
Doctors were presented with another study that tracked migraine sufferers over the course of an entire year. Researchers found that weather changes from mild to cold days were associated with a more than 20% higher likelihood of triggering a mild headache.
Days going from mild to warmer still caused problems but not as frequently as cooler weather.

Our 21 year old daughter Elizabeth used to suffer from Classic Migraine, including photophobia.
She was an S.R.N. Student Nurse at Hillingdon Hospital and took her finals in March 1987. She came home at the beginning of April 1987, to see her sister’s new baby, born on the 28th March. While home, she had what appeared to bhe was a very severe attack of Classic Migraine, with basilar pain, which seemed to have gone by the following day. Elizabeth had to return to Hillingdon, for duty and I took her back. I asked the reception at her nurses quarters, to keep a check on her, as she had not ben well.
Elizabeth was apparently fine for a couple of days, but was then unavailable for duty, due to what appered to be another attack. Five days later, other students baecame concerned at not having seen Elizabeth and borrowed the pass key from the night porter. She was found dead on her bed!
A P.M. inferred it was possibly from meningitis.
There are three conditions with very similar symptoms. Migraine, Toxic Shock Syndrome and Meningitis. Only two kill! PLEASE BE AWARE!
I’m not a migraine sufferer but theses days everyone need to be extra careful on the symptoms that surprise them. I feel so sorry for Elizabeth’s family that she had to leave them this way. To everyone out there: Do not ignore any symptom that bothers you, go see a doctor immediately when you do because our body talk to us when something is wrong, please don’t put it aside
Pain in the ass relatives never seem to to make the list, but are the #1 cause of headaches…
After abt 10 years of trial and error I have discovered that a large part of my problem was food intolerances. Previous to this I was convinced that food was not my problem as I have had migraines all my life. The list of foods I try and avoid is long but mainly any preservatives, colourings, and wheat and diary although I can tolerate small amounts of these. MSG (which is in many more thins than we realise) and alcohol are a sure trigger. I try to keep to fresh foods without additives and I have been able to greatly reduce my migraine incidences. From being almost never free of some symptom associated with migraines. I now have bad ones rarely and can go for weeks sometimes for months being completely well. Initially, I felt I have got my life back. I can only suggest that for people with severe problems this is worth a try.
