The Plan

 The plan is to completely eliminate any migraine food triggers.  Most people are away that things like alcohol, caffeine and cheese can trigger migraines, and those are the obvious ones, but there are far more insidious triggers.  

List of dietary triggers from the book Heal Your Headache by David Buchholz

I've decided to remove all of these triggers from my diet, including a few others, for the next 30 days at which time I hope to have gone at lease a couple of weeks without a migraine.  If I am able to stick to the plan for 30 days and am still getting migraines, well, then I will assume that it is not food triggers that is causing the problem.

I have worked with the above list before, but it seems that most of the foods have crept back into my diet.  I was feeling ok about the whole thing, until I looked at the list again and saw that decaffeinated tea was also on it.  I really like tea.  I drink 2 or 3 mugs a day.  I believe that this might be the hardest part of the whole month.  Really wish I hadn't looked at the list again- ignorance truly is bliss.
