  • Title: Total IgE, specific IgE and prick-tests against foods in common migraine--a prospective study.
    Author: Pradalier A, Weinman S, Launay JM, Baron JF, Dry J.
    Journal: Cephalalgia; 1983 Dec; 3(4):231-4. PubMed ID: 6640656.
    Abstract:
    A prospective study of total IgE, specific IgE against 12 common foods, and prick-tests with 11 common food allergens was performed on 50 consecutive migraine sufferers. Total IgE levels were found above 100 kU/l for seven patients, but five of them were atopic. Prick-tests and RAST were positive for four and six patients (class 1), respectively. Food challenge on these six patients did not cause any migraine attacks. This study thus indicates a very low frequency of allergic dietary migraine to common foods.
