title: Food allergy and headache. Whom to evaluate and how to treat.
abstract: Clinical observations and studies support the role of food in causing migraine and sinus headache. Diagnosis of food allergy is based on a diet log, diet trial, and prospective food challenges as indicated. In most cases, patients with food-provoked headache can obtain relief by avoiding a few selected, commonly eaten foods. Benefits of an avoidance diet include the need for fewer medications.
