SOME DIETARY CAUSES OF MIGRAINES I HAVE DISCOVERED
In a desperate attempt to find a cause for almost daily migraines that seemed to start not long after a meal, I decided I had to go on a fast. After fasting for two days, I began adding items back item by item so as to identify what if any item might be causing my pounding immobilizing headaches. I found major answers that have brought peace back to my life.
As soon as I added the diet sodas back to my diet, wham! Bowled over by the killer-head, banging pain. Now that I have cut them out I have had virtually no headaches for many weeks. Praise god (and I am an atheist).
The only puzzle I have yet to solve is why after using NutraSweet for many years, on and off, was it hitting me so hard this summer? Perhaps it was only mild before. I have had headaches, albeit milder, for many years. Perhaps it was building up in my system? But indeed it was the main causative agent.
I can but curse NutraSweet — A.K.A. Aspartame — to the darkest hells. The stuff was literally killing me. I spent many days in bed w/ pounding head thinking my life is over. I still get a very mild throbbing related to eating out, during which time I often eat cheese. There may also be some other factors I have yet to uncover. But the number 1 leading cause of the hell I was going through was NutraSweet. Its abolition from my diet has been a significant new lease on life for me. YES!
