Food can't cure headaches, but avoiding certain foods may prevent them, according to author David R. Marks, medical director of the New England Center for Headache. Some foods commonly trigger headaches in some people. If you're a headache sufferer, eliminating those foods from your diet is a sensible second step towards managing headaches. (The first step is to see your doctor to determine if there is some underlying condition that is causing the headaches.)

The key is to go on an elimination diet that avoids trigger foods such as most cheeses, chocolate, nuts, certain meats, preservatives, artificial sweeteners, MSG, caffeine, beans, out-of-the-oven yeast products (e.g., pizza, yeast breads, doughnuts), alcohol (especially red wine), ice cream, olive oil, and many, many more. If you were left to your own devices to figure out what's left after eliminating all these foods, you'd probably give up within a day. But Laura Marks has done the work for you, putting together 100 recipes that contain none (whew!) of the forbidden foods. The Headache Prevention Cookbook's recipes aren't bland or boring. They include Hearty Potato-Mushroom Frittata, Crepes with Spinach and Cheese Filling, Eggplant "Caviar," Corn and Carrot Chowder, Linguine with White Clam Sauce, Garlic Chicken, Cornish Hens and Wild Rice with Apricot Sauce, Asian Ginger Beef with Broccoli, Seafood Curry, and Angel Food-Strawberry Delight.

The authors suggest that you follow this diet, using their recipes and others you create yourself, for at least two months, and see if your headaches go away. Then gradually reintroduce the foods you avoided, one per week, so you can track which foods are your personal headache triggers. Once you've figured that out, avoiding those foods permanently can be your ticket to a headache-free future. --Joan Price

Book Description

If you're one of the 50 million Americans who suffer from headaches, you can eliminate the pain entirely just by changing the way you eat. A headache sufferer himself, Dr. David Marks treats thousands of patients a year at his internationally known headache clinic. The recipes in this book can help you ward off headaches while ensuring that you eat well in the bargain.

2 out of 5 stars Disappointing.......2006-06-29

My husband is trying to eliminate tyramines and other migraine triggers. I was hoping to find a cookbook that would help us create meals that tasted good, were healthy and safe.

This cookbook misses the mark on several fronts. The worst thing is that it takes a very conservative approach to what is safe to eat. Most recipes included items that we had concluded were not safe or were borderline (determined from researching several different reliable sources). In the initial stages of testing out whether or not tyramines are triggers it is especially important to have an inclusive list and not make exceptions.

The second factor were the recipes themselves. There was very little here that would allow you to make an actual meal and no guidelines on how you would do that.

Third, as another poster pointed out, the recipes are not generally healthy, high in fats and low in vegetables and fruits. This could be compensated for if the rest of the meal were healthy, but without any guidelines it would be difficult to do.

I am hoping to find another cookbook but in the meantime I have been adapting recipes with quite a bit of success. Maybe I'll write a cookbook when I'm done!

5 out of 5 stars A great book for headache sufferers.......2005-03-17

I had headaches almost daily for about 30 years and FINALLY did something about it. Between this book and the "1-2-3 Program" book, I've eliminated about 98% of my headaches - headaches I thought were incurable.

With almost any headache prevention book, you will be told to go on an elimination diet to rid yourself of foods that can trigger headaches. This book has many recipes for folks like us (you're reading this because you have headaches, right?)

For a life with significantly reduced pain, the price of this book is negligible. Buy it, you won't regret it.

3 out of 5 stars Disappointed with the content.......2004-12-09

There are some really good recipes in the book but I was disappointed that so many recipes contain foods believed to be migraine triggers in them. If you are trying to restrict your diet completely from migraine triggers, most of the recipes will not meet your needs without many modifications.

1 out of 5 stars Unhealthy Recipes.......2004-08-20

I'm betting that the recipes in this book are tasty. They are full of fat, salt, and sugar. I had expected more from a couple of physicians. Part of getting rid of my headaches has been learning about proper nutrition. I've been learning to cook healthy foods. This book was a major step backwards for me, so I returned my copy. I would suggest finding Dr. Mark's list of foods to avoid, which can be found online, and just avoid those foods. Personally, I've avoided those foods, but significantly reducing my daily sodium intake was much more effective in reducing my daily headaches. Joel Fuhrman, M.D. says that sodium is very bad for headaches. He is the author of Eat To Live and is a board-certified family physician who specializes in preventing and reversing disease through nutritional and natural methods. Eat To Live is a must-have book about health and nutrition, in my opinion.

5 out of 5 stars Words that Heal.......2004-01-24

Heal Your Headache is a practical book with many insights about why people suffer from headaches. David Buchholz makes concepts easy to understand without pretending that he knows everything. This book really gives the reader the power to choose his or her destiny. Buchholtz sets the framework, backed up by medical wisdom and real life stories, to help the reader find out the cause of his or her own headache troubles. The charts showing what can cause headaches are perfect for quick reference. The sample menus in the back make preparing meals easier. I recommend this book to anyone who is a headache sufferer of any kind. Why go through needless tests when the power is in your hands?

    Book Description

    From milk to bread to snack foods, many common foods contain additives that trigger migraine reactions in some people. Certain natural foods such as citrus, nuts and beans are problems for some people as well. By eliminating known triggers, it is possible to reduce the frequency of migraines.

    A Migraine Sufferer's Cookbook: Feeling Better With Additive Free Food offers 250 recipes free of chemical and natural migraine triggers, and helps get people on the right track to eating for a pain-free life. Your whole family will enjoy meals from basic comfort food such as meatloaf, fried chicken and mashed potatoes to more exotic food like Marinated Honey Pepper Crusted Salmon, Apricot Glazed Pork Chops and Fruited Rice. Using fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices to create healthy salads, vegetable dishes, protein snack bars and stir frys will make a difference in how you feel. Cooking from scratch is not as complicated as you may think. It is surprisingly easy to make your own tortillas, crackers, granola, bread, stock, soups, sauces and dressings. It not only tastes so much better, but you know what you're eating.

    The book also offers:
    * a detailed list of additive free products
    * information on reading labels
    * daily food logs to help you keep track of everything you eat, which in time will reveal a pattern of what may trigger your migraines
    * menu planners to help you plan your weekly menus and make shopping easier
    * kitchen tips and cooking techniques
    * tips on selecting fresh fruits and vegetables
    * tips on spices and herbs and their uses

    3 out of 5 stars Okay if you really like to cook.......2007-01-04

    There are several recipes but you really have to motivated to cook, grocery shop etc. I want things more simple. I would save my money.

    1 out of 5 stars Almost every single recipe contains at least one trigger!.......2006-12-06

    I am following the 1-2-3 Migraine Prevention diet (book "Heal your Headache, Buchholz). My entire lifestyle has changed since I have been on this diet (but have cut my migraines almost 80%!)and it has been extremely challenging to cut out all the migraine dietary triggers, so when I found this Migraine Cookbook, I thought it was going to make things a lot easier. However, I don't think I can eat a single recipe in this book! The author even points many (not all) dietary triggers and still continues to use these ingredients in most/nearly all of her recipes. I am quite disappointed and do NOT recommend this book to others trying on this diet.

    3 out of 5 stars Disappointed with content.......2004-12-09

    Although the recipes in the book look delicious, so many of them have ingredients that are migraine triggers. If you are trying to restrict all suspected triggers as I am, then you don't want to make things with ANY possible triggers in them. There were some good recipes, but there were a lot that I wouldn't use because they had some items considered triggers.

        Almost one out of every five Canadians suffers from the nervous system disorder called migraine. Dietary migraine triggers can include common foods like cheese, tomatoes, chocolate, onions and nuts. So what kinds of appealing, nutritious foods and meals can a migraine sufferer enjoy while minimizing their exposure to potential triggers? The Migraine Cookbook is full of wonderfully delectable recipes that are specially created to help migraine sufferers eat well while avoiding the foods that can trigger migraine. The Migraine Cookbook is also a valuable resource for migraine suffers who want to learn more about which foods can trigger migraine, how to evaluate one's own triggers and how to maintain a well-rounded and enjoyable diet while keeping the risk of migraine to a minimum. The over 100 tantalizing recipes in The Migraine Cookbook range from quick and easy basics like Chicken Pot Pie to fabulous gourmet dishes like Roast Ducking in Honey and Spice. The recipes have been developed specifically with the migraine suffer in mind to exclude as many potential triggers as possible by using a coding system with icons to make the triggers instantly identifiable.

        5 out of 5 stars A sensible approach to preventing migraines that WORKS........1998-01-20

        Finally, a solid explanation of why some foods might trigger migraine headaches, and why some migraines are different than others. Research in 1983 showed that foods to avoid if taking MAO inhibitors and foods suspected of causing migraines are one in the same. Foods that contain tyramines by themselves, or combined with low blood sugar, harmones, or stress can trigger migraine headaches. The full list (not the too simple list of red wine and chocolates) explains why many health foods can trigger migraines. Incredible that so many doctors aren't explaining this to migraine sufferers. I wish I'd read this book years ago. How wonderful to have the knowledge to avoid the migraine altogether, rather than attempt to "treat or relieve" it.
