32 Things to Learn About Your Gut!

The Migraine Headache - Gut Link

Before and after attacks, some of us experience cravings for salty or sweet foods, or a complete loss of appetite. I throw up most solids but can tolerate soups and broths. Sorry, too much information!

Many years ago I was experimenting with diet, as you do when you are a migraine suffer, and I came across Donna Gates book called the Body Ecology Diet. It changed the way I looked at digestion. Read about that here Migraine Headaches Nutrition .

Now I know that in some cases, fermented food can bring on migraines - so you just have to experiment. But all of that aside, there is a wealth of information available here for us to use.
