Reply to comment by ChanceStad in Researchers have found the genetic links between headaches, migraines and blood sugar levels, which ultimately could lead to targeted treatments for patients by giuliomagnifico

That’s a lot like my experience. Keto knocked migraines down by 75%. Largely I think as just a correlation to fresh baked carbs being a major trigger. Which also contributed to ibs. There’s just something wrong w American farm goods. Luckily also found a great effective med for migraines Nurtec.

I personally feel a lot better when I'm eating more potatoes and no rice, only a handful of beans at a time. I did feel my best on keto but it's so difficult to maintain long-term and going back into ketosis once or twice a month so painful. Enjovy was the best migraine treatment for me. My migraine pain is constant rear tension and sensitive touch anywhere on the head.

Thankfully her and I are both on keto; it makes it much easier for both of us. I've been on it for 9+ years now, so it's just normal for me now.

Wow, yeah that's super helpful. I could do it when my husband was on it and by myself when my kid was very little. But it felt impossible once our kid needed constant attention and at-hand snacks. I was so tired so much that I started eating fast food for the first time in my life in my mid-30s.
