Some people have difficulty processing tyrosine. Cut out the nuts and cheese and see if there's any difference. Everyone is different.

Nuts and cheese are not particularly high in tyrosine compared to many common foods most people eat nearly every day, particularly most meats and fish. I doubt that is the issue in and of itself, though nuts and cheese (particularly aged cheeses) can be a trigger for some migraine suffers for whatever reason. https://www.myfooddata.com/articles/high-tyrosine... -

Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia
@Sarah Grace, Thank you for the update! It's so good to hear from you! I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you. Yes, it's important to take all three together. I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too. They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented... -

Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia
My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan...

Some people have difficulty processing tyrosine. Cut out the nuts and cheese and see if there's any difference. Everyone is different. This study shows that tyrosine can affect our brain with detrimental effects as we age. Neuro-Cognitive Effects of Acute Tyrosine Administration on Reactive and Proactive Response Inhibition in Healthy Older Adults https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6084775/ "In conclusion, we show age-related effects of tyrosine administration especially on proactive, not reactive, response inhibition, accompanied by signal changes in dopamine-rich fronto-striatal brain regions. Specifically, we observed that tyrosine’s effect on brain and cognition became detrimental with increasing age, questioning the cognitive enhancing potential of tyrosine in healthy aging." -

@Sarah Grace, Thank you for the update! It's so good to hear from you! I'm glad Thiamine, B Complex and magnesium have helped you. Yes, it's important to take all three together. I had to quit eating cheese and nuts a long time ago because they triggered migraines in me, too. They are high in tyrosine, an amino acid, found also in fermented foods like sauerkraut and red wine. I found taking Tryptophan very helpful with migraines. Tryptophan is a precursor of serotonin and people with migraines are often low in serotonin. (Don't take tryptophan if you're taking an SSRI.) This recent study shows tryptophan really helps. The association between dietary tryptophan intake and migraine https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31254181/ For immediate respite from a migraine, try smiling REALLY BIG, mouth closed, tongue pressed against roof of mouth, and crinkle up your eyes like you just heard or saw the funniest thing... This causes an endorphin release in the brain. Usually it's the funny event, then the endorphin release and then the smile. Smiling first makes the endorphin center think it missed something and it catches up quickly by releasing endorphins after the big crinkle eyed smile. Must make crinkly eyes with smile or it won't work. If you do this too frequently within a short time frame (several hours), you can deplete your endorphins, but you'll make more in a couple of hours, so no worries. Get your thyroid checked, too. Migraines are also seen in low thyroid function (Hashimoto's or hypothyroidism). Celiac and thyroid problems go hand in hand. Vitamin D helps, too. Low Vitamin D is found in migraine. I'm so glad you're doing better. -
Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.
