Can chocolate cause a migraine headache?

It seems like I've been getting bad headaches when I eat chocolate, which I love. It says that most people aren't allergic to chocolate. Caffeine doesn't bother me at all. I keep trying to figure out what is setting these headaches off and it seems that chocolate in the evening causes me to wake up with a bad headache. Anyone ever hear of this?
Answer:
Eating chocolate certainly can cause migraines in many (not all) migraine sufferers. The chemical tyramine which is found in chocolate is to blame.

yes it can. when my mom was younger she got terrible migraines every time she ate a chocolate bar or i made homemade chocolate sauce. the doctor said it comes from the cocoa bean that they use. stay away from dark chocolate and from hot fudge sauce and that should help. milk chocolate is good and won't or shouldn't give u headache. but hershey bars and almond joys or three muskateers will give pounding headaches. i hope this helps...
