    Look, I don't actually want it explained to me how red wine & chocolate causes headaches. I just want sympathy. I wouldn't have to explain this if my tweeps were a) less nerdy & b) less male.

        You've not seen me be rude about my nerdy male tweeps? I do that regularly. I have a lot of them. They usually retaliate with maths & science jokes. Sometimes they start it. I have no mercy.

        Plus it is wrong. Red wine is good for your heart. It protects against furred arteries. Chocolate is good for your mood, it releases endorphines.

        Chocolate is also one of the best dietary sources of microminerals like zinc and copper!

        I haven't had that reaction by combining the two though I discovered recently that some--or at least one--reds make worse headaches than others. Hope you feel better.

        OK. Here it is. As a migraneur (had my first attack at age 7 and I'm now 70), I offer you my deepest sympathy. Not fair that the things we enjoy so much make us so ill. [Got great meds now. No more 'head in bucket for 3 days' for me.]

        my dad had a similar massive headache-turning-migraine issue with chocolate - it’s something to do with the cocoa butter. He found he could eat Hershey’s (from YankLand) without any trouble at all though. Hope that helps.

        Well see it has to do with your levels of intestinal fauna that break down nitrates. Does that help?
