Sufferers often find adhering to a special diet can really help reduce symptoms.
One of the most popular is the “MAV diet” aka the 6C’s diet.
What is the “6C’s” restriction diet? Generally it’s avoiding:
- Cheese (& dairy)
- Chianti (& other alcohol)
- Caffeine
- Chinese food (and other processed foods containing a lot of MSG)
- Citrus fruits & their juices
- Chocolate
Caffeine Restriction
Many sufferers find this a significant help. Try to reduce caffeine significantly or eliminate it from your diet and be aware just how much caffeine there is in what you are eating or drinking, even in tea!:
| Beverage | Caffeine Per 8 oz Cup |
|---|---|
| Green Tea | 35-70 mg |
| Oolong Tea | 50-75 mg |
| Black Tea | 60-90 mg |
| Redbush Tea | 0 mg |
| Coffee | 150-200 mg |
| Decaf Coffee | 5 mg |
Sufferers sometimes find other dietary triggers and often explore the diet promoted to ‘regular’ migraine sufferers.
