[QUOTE="FunkOdyssey, post: 268303, member: 44064"] A couple other things: you mentioned the pseudoephedrine headache occurs hours later. That sounds like a rebound effect from the vasoconstriction. I assume you experience the same from caffeine? Also are you a regular consumer of caffeine? It treats headaches acutely but regular use makes you more susceptible to headaches over time. The substance in fermented foods like yogurt that is most likely causing your headache is tyramine, not histamine, although they are often found together so practically speaking it doesn't matter too much. Basically you want to look at the tyramine-containing food list that people on MAO inhibitors avoid because they'll trigger a hypertensive crisis, and avoid them yourself. They're known migraine triggers. That also reminds me to ask: Do you monitor your BP during these headaches to make sure they aren't a symptom of a BP spike? Have you experimented with your diet at all to see how that influences the headaches? What have you tried and what happened? Besides the possibility of foods containing headache triggers, your microbiome is also producing histamine, tyramine, and other noxious headache inducing chemicals as it ferments food in your gut. Have you ever tried starving them with a low fermentable material diet, like low carb, low FODMAP, keto, carnivore, etc? Ketogenic diets are also known to reduce headaches via independent mechanisms involving ketones and the shift away from glucose as fuel source. [/QUOTE]
