Without a doubt , food intolerance is a major trigger of migraine and many fields of study have confirmed that detecting and elliminating the offending food(s) can improve or even get rid of signs and symptoms for many people. A study in the Lancet found that 93% of sufferers observed an improvement on removing certain food from their diet.
