Migraine Could Be Caused By Anything In What You Eat - Learn About A Less Common Dietary Trigger
It may appear simplistic but before you can find a remedy for migraine you need to become a detective and ascertain what is at the root of it. Do you know what your migraine trigger is? Read on to discover an unusual one.

There are several possible causes of migraine, and sometimes they are dietary. But when asked which foods are most often suspected of triggering migraines, most people will quickly suggest "red wine, chocolate and cheese".

They may be surprised to discover that as long ago as 1979 in a study on migraine and food intolerances published in the authoritative Lancet, eggs were among the most common foods implicated as problematic.

In reality, eggs are one of the most common allergens. They are also one of the most reliable to test for - unlike some foods.

Unfortunately, egg is in a great number of things, from baked goods to cake icing, and it is incorrect that cooking renders it safe! Children with migraines are often allergic to eggs plus at least two other trigger foods, and can gain relief just by eliminating these foods from their diet. However, because eggs are an important source of protein, they should not be left out from your diet unless you are sure they're causing you difficulties. A food intolerance test or trial exclusion for three weeks ought to give you enough evidence to have a meaningful discussion with a qualified health professional as to whether exclusion will be helpful.

A surprising place where egg is found is in vaccines. Steps have been taken to prevent exposure to egg by deriving the vaccines from embryos, but new developments appear to show that even minimal exposure to chicken products of any variety could be harmful.

For people who are very sensitive even inhalation could be harmful. Workers in a confectionery factory breathing the powdered egg white present in the decorative icing suffered asthmatic attacks, so exposure to an egg allergen is possible even if you are avoiding eating eggs!

Egg white can even be found in vaginal suppositories or in nappy rash cream, and if an allergic reaction as severe as asthma or anaphylactic shock can happen, why not a migraine?

The sad thing about small children and food allergies is their inability to convey the point that something is wrong. Also, misdiagnosis is common, due to the inability of parents or doctors to meticulously record symptoms.

A child who has eaten ice cream and frequently suffered a migraine afterwards could be allergic to the milk or the eggs in the product, and a firm determination is necessary to ascertain which it is.

Eggs are such a strong allergen that many doctors recommend not serving eggs to children under two, as once an allergen is triggered, the body can build up a memory of it and it may cause you more grief down the line.

There are several foods that if avoided or given very sparingly can prevent a red flag going up in a child's immune system. Eggs are a bit of a conundrum, what with the yolk and the white - recently, studies have shown that while the yolk of the egg is high in cholesterol, the white contains the means to combat it.

Normally, after 12 months with no adverse effects, you can begin to reintroduce foods one at a time. If migraines return, you will know you found a major trigger, and do your best to avoid it in the future.

Eggs are good for you - except when they're not!
