Migraine food that is good and bad for your headaches.
So you have been diagnosed with migraines.
What do you do? You can take the pain pills that your Doctor prescribed, which you can do within reason, and then look for some possible cause of your migraines.Before we start, there is a saying (my saying), don't get your migraines out of whack, and that is easier than you think.
For instance, my wife had several of the nerves in her neck burnt a few years ago. They thought her migraines were from arthritis in the facet joints in her neck.
You would think that after that had been done, there would be relief from her migraines.
The headache specialist sat down with us and said he "thought" her migraines were from rebounds, and nothing would help her, unless she stopped taking pain pills. "A couple of pain pills a day".
She thought she could sneak a couple in when she needed them, but it didn't work.
So be careful with the pain medicine.
The first and less expensive step in tackling your migraines is to see which migraine food is triggering your migraines.
antimigraine foods.
Have an abundance of foods from the pain safe list, and avoid the common triggers altogether.
Don't miss meals, don't sleep in, or skip breakfast.
You don't want anything else to get in the way, as doing any of these things can start a migraine to.
If your head is better after two weeks, you can reintroduce the eliminated foods, one at a time every couple of days. If your head starts hurting, you will know that particular food is out.
The food triggers are not as many by far as the foods you can have. It would take several pages to jot them down, but the best way I've found is for about ten bucks you can have all of the
migraine food
information that you want. There are some great recipes to. There are several books to choose from, but one that comes to mind is Foods To Fight Pain, by Doctor Neal Barnard. The menus, and recipes are by Jennifer Raymond.
This is just one book of a few.All written for you, the migraine sufferer.
A couple of Big Macs cost more than that, and speaking of that you know we live in a fast food world.
If you stop for a quick meal (hamburger), look below at the foods that will rush straight to your
blood vessels
in your head. You may not have the migraine until the next day, so you forget about what you eat the day before.
The migraine triggers that give you migraines don't act the same as when you hear about someone who is allergic to peanuts, and has a reaction in a few minutes.
