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. But, according to Michael Gregor, MD, of Nutritionfacts.org, celiac disease should be ruled out before going on a gluten-free diet.

 

Ice cream

The mystery is: Why does this come on so hard and fast and then disappear? Introducing very cold food like ice cream or an ice drink to the throat may cause a reflex constriction of blood vessels around your head. When you think about the last “ice cream headache” you had, it does resemble a vice grip on your head!
