I started to feel like crap 2 days ago...today the worst of it has gone, but I have literally had a pounding behind the eye headache since I woke up this morning...Why won't it go away?!

Might be worth a visit to your Dr. If it is a migraine, there are some marvelous prescription medicines that could really help you. Hope you are feeling better soon.

There are 27 different causes for migraines. It's rarely a simple solution. There is a strong link between food allergies and migraines. The top five allergic foods (from the Egger et al study published in the Lancet ii (1983) 865-9:
Cow's milk
Wheat
Chocolate
Egg
Orange
(source: Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine by Murray & Pizzorno, ND's)
Does not invalidate the study, just because it's an older study. My book was published in '98, so there won't be anything older than that that I can pull as a reference. If you would prefer something more recent, why not search medline?Originally Posted by sharky

A quick search of PUBMED-MEDLINE using the words food allergy picked up over 10,000+ hits.
