For many headache and migraine sufferers, certain foods can act as triggers.
One viewer sent this question to Dr. Manny Alvarez, senior managing health editor of FoxNews.com:
Dear Dr. Manny,
I've noticed that whenever I eat red grapes I get a headache. Could there be something in them that is causing this to happen?
Thanks, Jay

Alvarez said grapes are low in calories and rich in vitamin C and fiber, so they are a nutritional snack. But they also contain a substance called tyramine, a naturally occurring amino acid that forms from the breakdown of protein in food as it ages.
