I appreciate the food sensitivities guidance, BUT, I discovered that the vast majority of my migraine headaches were hormone related.

I spent years trying to prevent the migraines!
In the end, it was just hormones, so I could pretty much count on losing one-three days a month, unless I had some migraine medication, which was a life saver!!
Over time, I did learn to decipher between headaches and migraines. Headaches were usually a result of being dehydrated, caffeine withdrawal, or too much alcohol. Migraines were due to a rapid drop in estrogen levels in my body just prior to getting my period.
Hope this is helpful!!

In reply to Marianne. > Hi Marianne, I'm in a similar situation. What do you do to relieve hormonal migraines?

My “cycle” seems to trigger migraines, more so through perimenopause and beyond. It’s unclear which hormones are at fault or perhaps what foods I crave at that time, but none of the foods mentioned are gauranteed triggers.
