Did you know peanuts can cause migraines in children?

Turkey can trigger migraines as well along with barometric pressure changes (like a storm coming in). The list of things is very long actually as to what can trigger it and what triggers them in one person might not in another. That's where it's really problmatic. You were smart to monitor the what all he was coming into contact with. If you suffer from migraines it is best to keep a log of everything you eat and go around, along with the weather for each day. That way you can find what your particular triggers are and hopefully avoid them. I know migraines are a royal pain in the rump and head. Hope he's doing better now that you found the trigger.

I didn't relize this either. I get them myself but having ms also triggers mine too.

I suffer from migraines too! Mine can be triggered by eating too much cheese, not sleeping or oversleeping, too much sun exposure (especially if it is really bright outside!) and eating too many nuts. I don't eat just peanuts, I eat almonds, pecans, cashews, you know the mixed nut kind? Migraines with children sometimes are misdiagnosed as other craziness. My daughter had been suffering from migraines for over a year, had been diagnosed as having allergies. Then she had an epileptic seizure one day, a grand mal. Her lips turned blue, it was the scariest thing ever! Anyway, the anti-seizure medicine prescribed to her is also used to treat migraines so she has suffered significantly fewer each year! She has only had the one seizure two years ago, and I hope she never has another one. It is heartbreaking to watch a seizure and have absolutely no control.
