Migraines/Vertigo - Will SCD Help???

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have experience with using the SCD program to get ride of Head Aches / Migraines / or Vertigo? I have been on the SCD for Crohn's since 2000 and love the results I get from being on the diet, but my girlfriend has these terrible headaches. She get's to the point where she cannot complete a sentence, is dizzy, and vomits....all due to the migraines. Would the SCD help her you think?? If not, any other ideas? She is scheduled for the Neurologist next week.

Thanks everyone

Your girlfriend needs to really work to try to identify her triggers.

There usually ARE triggers for migraines and very often they are

foods. But there is another kind that come pre-menstrually,

too. SCD can very well help because it's such a basic diet and very

healthy, but she'll still need to work on identifying the

triggers.

Some years ago when my cousin and I started corresponding via email, she

would disappear for a few days at a time, and come back and apologize for

having been in bed with a nasty migraine. Her medicines didn't do

much. The doctors said oh, well, the thing is, migraines are

hereditary and not much we can do about them. This had gone on for

many years. But then, eventually, she noticed a pattern. She

would always get a migraine after eating out at certain types of places,

say, Mexican. And wine would do it. And now, as long as she

avoids the things she knows cause them, she is migraine free. So,

it's definitely worth doing. But of course start with the

Neurologist to rule out any of that stuff.

have her check out the yeast connection -womans health by Dr william Crook -

Migranes are 1 of MANY things caused by yeast - so IF thats' it I'd guess scd

should help her - maybe even the candida version to really help
