I am only into it 3 weeks & just ONE migraine. And that was the day after I had a crescent roll! Amazing that body aches, IBS & sinusitis have diminished too. <br />i don't know if my family & friends are *getting this* yet but I really feel cutting out the gluten/wheat is making a world of difference for me.

For a while I thought it was birth control but went off that as well. A migraine is by far the worse thing to happen to me. My favorite vitamin guru at Whole Foods recommended Vitamin B2 and Magnesium Complex and a Gluten free diet. I am on day 1 and I was just researching Migraines and Gluten. If giving up gluten means no more migraines, then I will be giving up gluten for life.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586040443729800539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239652010301140401.post-32574867834891968162010-06-22T21:53:37.767-07:002010-06-22T21:53:37.767-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17157276115751561753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239652010301140401.post-85292460003997939742010-02-17T07:45:41.782-08:002010-02-17T07:45:41.782-08:00It’s great to hear all the people who have had rel...It’s great to hear all the people who have had relieve with a gluten free diet.<br /><br />I was about 16 when I start suffering from migraines and for 2 year with at least 2 migraines a week last for about 2 day (so nearly constantly). I had all the test/scans with no results. I decided to start eliminating different foods, gluten was the second thing and to my relief I didn’t get any more migraines. After 10 years of a very strict gluten free diet, the only time I get one is after accidental exposure to gluten. <br /><br />I don’t know about other sufferers, but I have found the long I have been on GF diet the more severe and quicker the migraines happen. It only takes trace amounts and less the half an hour to start, these days. <br /><br />So I have become great at spreading the word to friends/family and co-works all about gluten. I have also notice in the last couple of years the dramatic increase of information/labelling and restaurant with gluten free (with in Australia at least). Which makes live so much easier, I don’t get as mean blank looks when I ask if it gluten free.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16667385027989749300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239652010301140401.post-32507673407221753412009-07-24T17:44:41.060-07:002009-07-24T17:44:41.060-07:00Hi, great to hear your tale.

I'm not completely off gluten (I just can't throw out all the pasta in my cupboard), but I'm sharply reduced (maybe one meal a week, instead of every meal or every second meal), with a marvelous reduction in migraines. A nutritionist-friend suggested going gluten-free; she also suggested eliminating cow's milk, as well as eating many more fruits and vegetables (e.g. I was weak on the brassica family) which I've also done. I've been gluten-reduced for about six weeks and also eat much more fruit and vegetables -- every meal,<br />and I've had just one migraine in the last month, down from my average of 2-3 per week. I'm very optimistic that I've turned a corner. <br /><br />I should add that I also read Buchholtz's book, Heal Your Headache, a few weeks ago and he warns that the triptans are to be used only once or twice per month otherwise you'll get rebound headaches. I was taking one each time, and thus probably getting rebounds -- which made the trigger identification nearly impossible. <br /><br />It would be great to hear others identified gluten as a trigger. <br /><br />Best,<br />DanielEco-Nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09711558476886144173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239652010301140401.post-33353025696025089222009-06-16T10:13:40.490-07:002009-06-16T10:13:40.490-07:00Migraines/daily headaches were my main symptom of ...Migraines/daily headaches were my main symptom of celiac disease, too. It seemed as though they tried every medicine they could find on me, and nothing worked! It took switching doctors to finally get my answer, but thankfully it didn't take me 20-30 years! I know the wonderful feeling of not remembering how long its been since a migraine!

Although it's not a "story" - it's absolute truth. =D My history is similar in that I had a horrible recurring (but unpredictable) pain in my left abdomen that stumped the Doctors. Eliminating gluten has (almost) eliminated the pain -- less than a year after going gfree, & very pregnant, my baby has found the "spot" and kicks it sometimes, but I know that it is still healing and soon will be gone forever! Hurrah!! =D<br />~puppyshineChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08326533490421071564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3239652010301140401.post-30990095919765217712009-06-16T07:37:58.768-07:002009-06-16T07:37:58.768-07:00It is truly inspiring to hear a successful migrain...It is truly inspiring to hear a successful migraine story.
