Condiments Salad dressings are a trigger for many. The reason is not known, but is probably tied to a combination of other triggers all coming together in one
Spices and Additives Any spice can be a trigger. Spices as triggers may be tied, at least partially, to scent sensitivity, since many spices have a pungent odor. Seasonings that seem to give migraineurs the most trouble include monosodium glutamate (MSG), common in Asian foods, artificial sweeteners, food dyes, and vinegar. Migraineurs who suspect a food trigger should consider trying an elimination diet to pinpoint the trigger food(s).
Be careful on these common migraine food triggers. You save yourself from a lot of avoidable migraine headache attacks.
