Nuts
Yeast
Wheat
Onions
Bananas
Pork
Caffeine (found in tea, coffee, cola drinks, and chocolate)
Avocado
Foods containing nitrites and nitrates (such as hot dogs, salami)
Foods containing monosodium glutamate (avoid all processed foods unless you're sure they do not contain it %97 it gets into almost everything!)
Interestingly, a study at Charing Cross Hospital in London, England, involving 60 migraine patients isolated the following foods as the most common culprits in causing attacks:
Wheat (found not just in bread, but in all flour-based products and also as a thickener, as in soups): 78%
Oranges: 65%
Eggs: 45%
Coffee and tea: 40%
Milk and chocolate: 37%
Beef: 35%

Caroline re the how to make sure tou have taken your meds question it is closed off now and you don't allow emails. so i could not contact you privately.
an easier way still would be to sit at the table like you were having dinner with the empty plate on the table then have your glass of water and take them over the plate, that would be a sure and easy way.
