Can chocolate cause a migraine headache?!
Question:
Can chocolate cause a migraine headache?
It seems like I've been getting bad headaches when I eat chocolate, which I love. It says that most people aren't allergic to chocolate. Caffeine doesn't bother me at all. I keep trying to figure out what is setting these headaches off and it seems that chocolate in the evening causes me to wake up with a bad headache. Anyone ever hear of this?
Answers:
Eating chocolate certainly can cause migraines in many (not all) migraine sufferers.
The chemical tyramine which is found in chocolate is to blame.
