Hidden headache triggers #2 – Gluten

Another food sensitivity that can lead to headaches is gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley. When you’re looking for your carb fix, choose whole grain breads, pasta, rice, and cereals, without the gluten to reduce your headache symptoms.

Great choices include whole grain or long-grain brown rice, wild and basmati rice, corn or oat cereals and air-popped popcorn
