If probiotic-rich foods trigger your symptoms, a probiotic supplement may be a better choice. Keeping a food diary including any headache symptoms you might experience can help clarify whether fermented foods are problematic for you. More research is needed to determine whether or not amines can be direct triggers of headaches or migraines in some people. However, a review of 10 controlled studies found no significant effect of dietary amines on headaches ( 17, 18). One study found that low-histamine diets reduced headaches in 75% of participants. The most common amines found in probiotic-rich foods include histamine, tyramine, tryptamine and phenylethylamine ( 14).Īmines can excite the central nervous system, increase or decrease blood flow and may trigger headaches in people sensitive to the substance ( 15, 16).
Some probiotic-rich foods, like yogurt, sauerkraut and kimchi, contain biogenic amines ( 11, 12).īiogenic amines are substances that form when protein-containing foods age or are fermented by bacteria ( 13).
