Is it normal to get headaches from eating a lot of sugar?

Whenever I eat too much sugar I get really bad headaches. I am prone to headaches anyway but consuming a lot of sugar induces a different type of headache. I also get headaches when I eat sausages. Is this normal?

    Yes, completely normal. Sugar is a known cause of headaches. If you think that's why your getting them, you may need to cut back on it, or at least spread it out more amongst your day or week, instead of eating just one really sugary thing.

    Your body can react from sugar a lot like gaining weight, causing sicknesses, and what you said is getting headaches. Whenever I eat too much sugar, It becomes really sweet and I don't really feel good.

    I've heard of that happening, but can't think for right now as to why the sugar would be causing headaches (though it can indeed be so).

    Sausages - preservatives, maybe?
