Title: Tomato intolerance
Post by pjhuser on Nov 24^th, 2003, 8:33pm

:)
I've tried everyhting over three and one half years. It seems like I've had every medication, some of which I was allergic to. After all this time I've discovered tomatoes are the culprit. It's amazing, no tomatoes, no headaches! I had as many as 20 clusters per day!

Oddly enough, I went to a psychic a couple of years ago and she said she had clusters too. She said tomatoes were her demon. I didn't give it much credance at the time because I'm not a big believer in phsycics (I did it out of desperation).

If all else fails folks, look at the 'maters.' Watch any food that says anything about tomatoes...paste, powder, etc. It's hard giving up one of the fruits of the gods, but it's still better than living on vicadin and oxycontin.

That´s odd.
On the Dutch parcel of melatonine, it says this stuff is made from "tomato-concentrate". That's why they call it "melatomatine" over here (but it´s the same, I checked). And melatonine as well as melatomatine should be helping to ban out clusters.

Strange coincidence?

I must say that I haven't heard before that tomatoes could trigger CH.
Personally, my CH attacks have never been triggered by food, but it's good to know anyway.
All the observations are good information. If someone tells me that that goes for carrots, too, then I'm in trouble! :) I just love my carrots... ;;D
