Phytate and Phytic acids:
"In the context of a diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, vitamin A, vitamin C, good fats and lacto-fermented foods, most people will do fine on an estimated 400-800 mg per day. For those suffering from tooth decay, bone loss or mineral deficiencies, total estimated phytate content of 150-400 mg would be advised. For children under age six, pregnant women or those with serious illnesses, it is best to consume a diet as low in phytic acid as possible.
In practical terms, this means properly preparing phytate-rich foods to reduce at least a portion of the phytate content, and restricting their consumption to two or three servings per day. Daily consumption of one or two slices of genuine sourdough bread, a handful of nuts, and one serving of properly prepared oatmeal, pancakes, brown rice or beans should not pose any problems in the context of a nutrient-dense diet. Problems arise when whole grains and beans become the major dietary sources of calories— when every meal contains more than one whole grain product or when over-reliance is placed on nuts or legumes. Unfermented soy products, extruded whole grain cereals, rice cakes, baked granola, raw muesli and other high-phytate foods should be strictly avoided."
Suspects #1: Nightshades and seeds
I suspect seeds and potatoes/nightshades causing headaches.
Reasons for seeds:
High copper?
Phytic acid? http://www.westonaprice.org/food-features/living-with-phytic-acid
Other?

Test: Only pumpkin seeds products (powder, seeds).
Dosage: 3 scoops (30g) powder and to 1-2 tbs seeds, morning and lunch.
