Trigeminal Neuralgia

Are there any reports of certain fruits triggering symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia? Although I have not been diagnosed with TN, I have symptoms after eating watermelon or, on occasion, apples.

Dear Norman:
I have not heard of any type of food inducing trigeminal neuralgia. There is a type of pain induced by chewing tough or chewy foods, that is caused by TMJ problems. However, this is not trigeminal neuralgia.
Sincerely,
CCF Neuro MD
