Triggers for me are dehydration, tiredness, stress and oo much bad food. I found that eating meat and dairy also had a massive effect on me and led to me giving them up. I have been more or less Vegan since figuring that out 20 odd years ago.

Same--I generalized it as basically my body is vindictive about treating it badly. Except I'm better off with meat and dairy. And especially cheese. I have experimented with vegetarianism, but only for my fussiness about my feelings for helpless animals.

I dumped meat and dairy as I was also finding the more of that I ate the more time I spent on the toilet. Then you start to read up on what you're actually eating and being an animal lover it all just added up for me.

I should have added that I have also found exercise really helps me as well. High cardio if I feel I could be getting an attack coming usually see's it off.

MSG is added to nearly every shop bought meat dish.

There are no indications that MSG actually is bad for you (including by inducing headaches) in the amounts that it is normally used. Even 2g (this is a lot) is no problem when consumed with food. If you know otherwise, I'd love to read your sources.

most people say this because it doesn't affect them
