Migraine Headaches Support Group

I just got the book and started reading it. If you don't see me here anymore you can figure that it must have worked.

It seems like it would certainly be worth a shot particularly for long time sufferers or people who have had migraines everyday for months.

I am quite convinced that many of my "mini" migraines are due to food issues.

I was out for lunch yesterday and had salad, baked potato, and fresh rolls. Afterwards I felt funny. Nothing ever fully manifested but I think about the food I had and the rolls could be suspect, the sour cream on the baked potato could have had locust bean gum and the dressing could have had something I shouldn't eat, I suppose. But it is all so confusing. If a blood test could just tell you what to avoid....

Dan, please try to keep us in the loop with that book. I didn't get it yet.

(I also think we need to consider the magnesium connection too)

I never heard of locust gum. Are you giving me new things to worry about? Fresh bread with yeast is supposed to be a suspect I think. I guess if you go back there and eat an entirely different diet except for the rolls you can see what happens. Do it after your next pedicure!

Read the bottom of this link under ice cream. It is also in sour cream.

That sounds really interesting! I've heard of a lot of the triggers, like processed meats, but onions and tomatoes? When I first learned about triggers, I was surprised by the number of foods on the list that I already didn't eat. All I could say was, "I don't feel right after eating that" or that it didn't appeal to me.

I'd love to hear your thoughts on the book, daninflorida.

One problem here is that don't read any more. I can read on the computer, but books, newspapers, bills, all require the lights to be on. That gives me a headache real fast.

You should have gotten the book on CD. LOL
