Hello,

I know that pickles and other preserved foods are potential triggers due to the vinegar content and possibly due to perservatives, but are olives OK? I was trying to look into the curing process for them, but not sure I understand it. Has anyone had any experience with them as triggers?

(I eat a lot of them and use olive juice on salads and in drinks, I'm wondering if these need to go...)

Thanks,

Monica

I've seen olives mentioned frequently on lists of possible triggers. That said, just like anything else, mileage varies, and they don't trigger everyone. I have no trouble with them.

Hi Monica,

I love olives too! Thankfully, I don't trigger off of them, but, yes, they are listed as a food trigger in this article:

Managing Migraine Trigger Foods

Sorry!

I would be so upset if Olives or pickles were a trigger for me!

More so over the olives. I love any type of olive, especially when in vodka! Big Grin But I rarely drink, so it's a treat for me.

I can see how it would or could be a trigger though, since it's brine and salt and stuff.
