My name is Jeanette Navia. I’m a woman in my sixties who found, in 1997, that severely reducing tannins from my diet helped my very frequent migraines. It has been over twenty years since I first realized tannins exacerbated my migraines and I still avoid them as much as possible. I have found that sumatriptan (Imitrex) and similar triptans have helped me tremendously, so I’m not quite as assiduous as I used to be, though I do avoid chocolate, red wine and cinnamon.
As I have repeatedly mentioned in these pages, I am not a doctor or scientist/researcher so keep that in mind. I’m just a woman trying to share my experience in hopes that this will help other people.
