Gee, I thought I'd already said something about this but I guess not. Anyhow, you have to watch out for sugar substitutes in a lot of things, like toothpaste and mouthwash, and lots of the so-called "sugar free" foods. A lot of people get migraines from fake sugar. I get one from Equal. I never thought of mayo having sweetner in it but I bet that it does.
And I really urge the original poster, if he or she is still reading this thread, to check for a casaicin allergy, which is an allergy to peppers and chiles (not to black pepper, though, which is a different kind of thing) because several people I know are allergic to capcaisin and they get horrible reactions to mayo.

On sandwiches, mashed avocado is a great. It is so creamy amd rich, you'll never miss the mayo. But, you can get very good mayo substitutes now.
For coating chicken and fish, I use mustard or egg white. The ranch dressing idea might be a good solution also. I love fat-free ranch.

Combine oil, yellow mustard, and a little vinegar. Add a little paprika if you want. If THAT gives you a migraine, cut out all peppers. If THAT gives you a headache, seek medical attention.
Actually, migraines are serious. Have you talked to a doctor? If it's not the ingredients alone causing you the problem there's something very, very worrisome going on and I strongly advise you to stop eating anything that might give you a migraine (cheese and chocolate are common culprits but a grain allergy might be to blame, too) until you've seen a medical professional.
I'm not a doctor but I do watch them on TV.

Mustard, ketchup, or salsa, unless your Canadian. In Canada, there is no substitute for mayonnaise. Beauty!

One of our favorite recipes (called "Chicken McNeil" at the restaurant where we found it) calls for the chicken breasts to be coated with a mixture of plain yogurt and a heavy dose (seems to mellow out while cooking) of dijon mustard. Then coat with a SPECIAL Krunchy vitamin-fortified oat flake cereal and bake ..... very moist and delicious with a crunchy coating.

This is a difficult question, because it really depends on the recipe. For example, in cakes, you can use either sour cream or vanilla pudding. But you wouldn't want to use vanilla pudding for chicken. In our family, we just don't really like mayonaise, so I switch out a lot for it since we never have it on hand. Sometimes, you can just add some oil if the mayo is for moisture or sour cream if it's also for "zip." We've also sometimes substituted a combo of mustard and sour cream or cream cheese.
When it comes to stuff like this, really you just have to look at the recipe, figure out what the mayo is in there for, and then substitute accordingly. The great thing about the Kraft website is that you can see what others substituted. It's the reason I use this site more than any other to find new recipes!
Also, for those questioning the migraine thing, you just have no idea what about mayo causes it. My mother can eat all chocolate but one brand, which will cause horrible headaches. I get a migraine practically if I'm in the same room with red wine. If you've figured out mayo triggers a headache, by all means, stay away from it! And good job finding the trigger!

Oh, yes. Wild chicken is a very gamey meat. My husband always hunts during chicken season here and he swears by the soaking method.

I recently saw in a program on the Food Network where a lady, Nigella Lawson I think, soaked her chicken tenders in buttermilk for 2-3 hours. Then she crushed crackers, Ritz, and coated the tenders it and baked it. I apologize for not knowing the exact temperature and time that she baked them, but I imagine that you could figure that part out. She said the buttermilk helps take out the "gamey" taste of the chicken. I guess I never thought of chicken being gamey. You can alter the taste by adding different spices and herbs to the crumbs. Hope this helps.

If you are not vulnerable to the ingredients of mayo, then there is something else at work here. Especially if MW does the same thing to you.
Migraines can be stress-induced. Did you have a traumatic experience involving mayo or MW as a child? Perhaps a jar was thrown at you during an argument or something? Did kids make fun of you during lunch in elementary school; or, did your parents have nasty fights during meals when sandwiches were served?
Getting to the bottom of the cause is the first step. Hope this helps.
