CBS) If you're one of the more than 28 million Americans plagued by debilitating migraine headaches, relief may be as simple as changing what you eat, registered dietician Keri Glassman explained on The Early Show Tuesday.

People have individual triggers, including dietary choices, stress, and activities, she added.
