Gluten, Dairy, Sugar, and You (if you have a headache anyway)

Hey happy Wednesday! So I said I'd talk about my migraine treatments so I'll start with my diet. I've been put on a gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free (or at least low-sugar) and have been on it for about a month. It's hard at first (especially when you're kind of picky like me) but it gets easier. I've been dairy-free for 6 months and it has made a difference. Research has been done although the reasons allude us at the moment. Sugar is a more obvious one and is obviously not fun. Baking is one of my favorite things to do and trying to bake without gluten, dairy, and little sugar is difficult. But I've found lots of good things to eat don't worry. I also have a lot of friends who are migraine sufferers who have found success with diet change (maybe just gluten, etc). There are also a lot of "food triggers". About 20% of people who have migraines have a food trigger, which could basically be anything. The most common are dairy, MSG, nitrates, and nuts. And chocolate. But basically anything. It's a party.

Lots of Love to all of you who are reading! I'm watching the last episode of the fist season of Downton Abbey (OMG) so I better concentrate on that. I don't want to miss the costumes. Or any scandal. xoxo
