The Migraine Diet: What To Eat To Prevent Your Next Headache

migraine diet

Dizziness, vertigo, a false feeling of movement, and derealization or depersonalization are the most prominent symptoms of chronic vestibular migraine, which may occur with or without a headache. Even if you’re taking preventative medicine, following your neurologist’s supplement recommendations, and engaging in cognitive behavioral therapy, you may still be plagued with migraines regularly.

Getting Started With A Migraine Elimination Diet

A migraine elimination diet is the most common way for people to identify their own unique dietary triggers for migraines.  A physician with ties to a prestigious university medical facility created the migraine diet.

The rules of an elimination diet for migraines are straightforward. For a period of time, to feel better or noticeably reduce the number of migraine days, you avoid eating items known to be typical migraine triggers. The next step is to try reintroducing foods one at a time, waiting a few days between tests to determine whether any trigger an attack.

Keeping a migraine diary or utilizing an app may help you identify if your migraines were brought on by weather, diet, stress, or a combination of these factors.

The Challenge Of Incorporating A Migraine Elimination Diet Into Everyday Life

This diet is notoriously hard to implement into regular living. However, the benefits may be well worth the effort. Planning meals was not a luxury for those with well-ordered workweeks. You might spend a lot of time in the supermarket looking for MSG and other chemicals.

Spending so much time in a grocery shop is difficult when fluorescent lighting and crowds are both major migraine triggers for you. Preparation, such as wearing a large hat, earplugs, and migraine glasses, is one option for making it through.

However, things will improve if you put in the time and effort and stick with it.
