Sandie_Migraine Headache Diet

[Guest guest]

Sandie,

I have posted the Migraine Headache diet. I'm not sure of how many things you eat that aren't allowed for Migraine Headaches sufferers. When I followed this diet for apporoximately 2 years, I didn't miss most of the food on the list because I never like it/ated from the start. The first few weeks or 1-2 months, it's going to be pretty tough! I know you can do it! It gets easier on the 3rd month.

After 8-9 months or so, you can re-introduce the Non Allowed foods in your diet to see if they still bother you, if they do, try to substituted with something else

I Hope this Helps

Irene
