Does whole grain brown rice give you a headache?

I made way too much brown rice last night so mixed it up with some chili beans I had then decided to make stuffed peppers with it. Had so much of the brown rice mixture left over I ended up eating more before I went to bed. Woke up about 2 am with a horrible headache. Not sure to blame it on the brown rice or the rain storm we had or maybe a combination of the two. I am starting to think that eating too much brown rice is causing me to have a headache. I think I will just stop making it because seems to be one of those foods I tend to overeat when it is around.

I highly doubt it had to do with the rice, although depending on what you made it with, high amounts of sodium can cause headaches because it dehydrates your body. There's not anything about rice itself that would cause a headache. I'm thinking more weather changes or sodium intake.

Yeah, most likely barometric pressure.
