3902 Looking out for Caffeine and other migraine triggers
Evening lab-lads and lab-lasses,

This is a bit of a strange question. I would like to know if there's some way that I can look at a food/drinks label and determine whether it contains caffeine or not? I suffer a lot of migraines and I've managed to dramatically reduce the number of migraines I get every month by cutting out certain foods and drinks that trigger an attack (e.g. parmesan cheese, Sodium Nitrite-containing meats, caffeinated coffees and teas).

I currently get one or two every couple of months or so, but I'm still convinced that I can become completely migraine-free if I knew what to look for on food/drinks labels. Can anyone offer any tips or know-how?

There's not really any way of knowing, besides learning which foods naturally contain caffeine. Chocolate for example.

You might want to try taking magnesium supplements. Deficiency can lead to migraines, and the vast majority of people are deficient in it to some extent anyway.

Add glare (sun shining on monitor, looking towards sun without sunnies etc), being hungry/dehydrated and head trauma. Those are my triggers.

Migraines are shite.

I used to get really bad migraines every now and again. Then I lost five stones and I don't get them any more.
