LMG Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I am on day five of a headache. I have cut out so many so called trigger foods but still get a three day one every two weeks. It is almost like a schedule....it comes , finally goes and then returns again. I have not cut out breads or grains so I am thinking this is my next attempt. Anyone feel they got any relief? Any suggestions or maybe ideas how long it will take until I know something?Thanks....wanting some relief!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I can't speak to paleo, but I've been gluten free for 4 or 5 years. I rarely get migraines any longer. I used to have migraines and "headaches". I only know the difference really beacause of visual auras. I used to see sideways lightning strikes.I know it seems daunting but I cannot recomend gluten free enough. It's helped me immensely.

Becia Posted April 24, 2014 Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 I'm currently in the hospital for a migraine I couldn't get under control, and the effect it was taking on everything (couldn't hydrate, couldn't eat, extreme sensitivity). There are a few food triggers that I avoid, but it still end up with them, gluten free or not. I'm just wishing I could avoid them from getting so bad to this point. I have a three day window of fighting them, after three days or when I start seizing from them, it's off to the hospital for me. Sometimes I stay, sometimes it's fluids, a shot of demoral and on my way. Either way, it's not a way to live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gertie Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I have tried them both & I couldn't tell any difference. However, a low histamine diet does seem to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YolaInBlue Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 I've been gluten free for almost 2 years, but it did nothing for my migraines. I know some of my triggers are: sugar, red wine, going out in the sun and strong scents, like perfumes and household chemicals. I'm trying to avoid those whenever possible, but still get migraines 4-5 times a month. I was also told in Mayo autonomic clinic that migraines can be the cause for some of my episodes, so definitely worth finding the triggers. I might try low histamine diet next.

MightyMouse Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 I did feel very well while on a full paleo diet, but then I got C diff and after that all bets were off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rredbuell1203 Posted May 1, 2014 Report Share Posted May 1, 2014 If you have prescription glasses. I HIGHLY recommend getting a tint called FL-41. I have several migraines a week. I just recently got my new prescription done and I am going on 2 weeks without a single migraine! Life hasn't been this good for such a long time. Just food for thought.
