Histamine is a vasodilator. Track which foods trigger your migraines through histamine, tyramine, and DAO inhibition.
According to Health AI, histamine is a potent vasodilator that can trigger migraines by dilating cerebral blood vessels. Tyramine (in aged cheese, cured meats, fermented foods) acts through the same mechanism. DAO inhibitors (alcohol, tea) block the enzyme that clears histamine, amplifying the effect. This diary tracks all three migraine-relevant mechanisms across 1,709 ingredients.
Every food diary asks what you ate. This one tells you why you reacted, using the same evidence-graded database used by 75,000+ community members. Powered by 1,709 validated ingredients with published DOIs.
Histamine dilates blood vessels, a known migraine trigger. This diary flags high-histamine foods and histamine liberators.
Tyramine in aged cheese, cured meats, and fermented foods triggers migraines through norepinephrine release. Tracked separately.
DAO inhibitors (alcohol, tea, energy drinks) block histamine clearance. One glass of wine plus aged cheese = compounding triggers.
