Re: nwr - migraines??



I just recently found out that bananas can cause migraines! I was eating bananas a lot in the morning and I had 3 migraines that week! Found out there is something in the peel that constricts the blood vessels and cause the migraine, I read that if you scrape the side of the banana to make sure there is no peel left on it (those stringy things) that it will be find, but I dont want to take the chance. Just thought I would let you know incase you eat a lot of bananas. Hope you feel better!!


OMG!! I have been having bananas for breakfast the past two weeks every other day almost!! Im stopping!!

I also used to get them really bad. From what i have discovered they were caused by, chocolate, sulfates in red wine or anything with caffeine. When i had an attack i wouldn't be able to talk, it was just incoherent mumbles, i couldn't see at all, my right side went numb. At one point a few years ago i had to be rushed to the hospital while at a friends house. I saw a neurologist and he told me just to stay clear of what i mentioned above. Also if you take a medication that has a dose of caffeine in it, it opens the blood vessels that are constricted in your head and relieves the pain.
