If you suffer from migraines, and chocolate is one of your triggers, carob may be a helpful substitute, as it doesn’t contain tyramine, an amino acid that can trigger migraines in some people.

Also, foods with strong cheeses, cured meats, and even soy products can contain high levels of tyramine.

It wasn’t possible to identify potentially problematic wines by the high tyramine or phenol levels of the grapes or the amount of time they spent in particular barrels or even their respective histamine levels.

Smoked Salmon and aged cheese also contain tyramine which is notorious for causing migraines.

Under normal circumstances the enzyme also breaks down tyramine – found in pork, pickles, smoked and fermented foods, chocolate and alcoholic drinks – and excess tyramine can trigger a dangerous spike in blood pressure.
