MHAM Blog Challenge, Day 8: Little Shop of Horrors

What comfort foods do you reach for when you have a Migraine or Headache attack?

If I'm suffering from a serious migraine, I'm unlikely to reach for any comfort foods because I'm usually too nauseous. Once the migraine and the nausea (sometimes vomiting) begin to pass, I reach for more bland things (bananas, plain bread, oatmeal) to put in my belly while it starts to settle.

When I'm suffering from a more simple headache, I'm apt to reach for chocolate (though I tend to reach for that any day), coffee / pop, or something salty. I've learned that when taking Imitrex, I should always take it with something flavored (pop, lemonade, juice, etc.) because the taste of Imitrex going down causes more nausea than the actual migraine sometimes.
