Can Chocolate Cause Migraine?

Migraines are weird things. I have had them since 1986 and their are many things that can triger them. Each person has his or her own triggers. Chocolate is one of the major offenders though. I see some people have posted comments on this question saying things about caffine. You may want to do some research on this at a trusted site such as a Univeristy Hospital or simalar site. There is many available. My neorologist has used pure caffine to treat my migraines. She suggested that I do drink caffine each day to help with the pain. In the hospital I was given IV's of pure caffine. Talk about being edgy. That made me so on edge. Now back to your question, there are many things that triggers migraines MonoSodium Gludamate (MSG)is one thing that they thing is a major cause of migraines in many people. Here is the web address for the Mayo Clinic. Put migraine in the search box at the top right.

Chocolate has caffiene and can raise your blood pressure up a little. So I suggest you avoid it during your migraines.

yes it can cause migraines. A friend of mine used to always get really bad migraines when she ate either chocolate or cheese. Teh doctor told her that these were tha casue of them and to cut down or stop eating them altogether.

Yes,as all the others said,chocolate is a trigger for migraines.Avoid it if you can.I have migraines too and I find that if I eat too many chocolates,I get a headache.I am not all that sensitive though so one a day does me no harm.But I don't eat chocolate everyday.maybe once in 15 days or so.I find that cocoa powwder that I use in my cakes does not harm me at all.I can eat loads of chocolate cake made with cocoa powder and still not get a headache!:)

Well there is caffeine in chocolate so if you are really sensitive to caffeine, it might give you a headache. It could also give you a headache if you are allergic to chocolate.

i dont eat chocalate and i have headaches, it might just be the sugar in it causing them for you.
