6 Common Foods That Can Cause Headaches

Bread

Gluten in foods like wheat, crackers, pasta, and seasoning mixes may cause digestion woes (not to mention celiac disease), but for some, headaches can also be a symptom of gluten sensitivity. Gluten is in food products made with wheat, wheat germ, rye, graham flour, crackers, pasta, and seasoning mixes, to name a few.

When you think about the last “ice cream headache” you had, it does resemble a vice grip on your head!
