Lately I have been getting migraines quite frequently and I’ve been
trying to pinpoint the cause, but it’s not easy. I decided I needed to go over
my diet. I realized maybe it could be something as slight as the aged cheese
that I have been eating because I am gluten and lactose intolerant. Sometimes a
solution to one problem could cause a problem. It happens to be I was right, aged
cheese had been the trigger to my migraines. I cut out all cheese and later
found out that nuts were also the problem. I thought I could eat aged cheese
because easier to digest but I was wrong.
Wow! I went from waking up with migraines every morning, to none. I
realized my body is talking to me! You really need to listen to your body. You
can help yourself before going to the doctor to get prescriptions. I never
thought in the past that I would go this route, but it sure works for me and I
want to share it to many others who suffer.
Dr. Oz offers a great and easy gluten diagnosis. Click on the
following link to find out what foods may bother you: www.doctoroz.com/article/gluten-symptom-tracker
He gives you a list of high FODMAP foods, which is the food you will give up
for 10 days to see if you could be given the new gluten diagnosis. Chances are if
you are gluten intolerant, you have other intolerances too.
All this to say, no matter what the problem is, you have to search
for the answer yourself first, most of the time you can find it on your own. The
only migraines I cannot stop are when I am very stressed out. So I try to find
a way to meditate and keep calm. My father used to meditate a lot and now I
know why.
