Im 23 years old. Ive been suffering from migraines since years and surviving on painkillers. I? Ve visited doctors in the past but it has not helped me much. I believe my migraine is always reacting to my stomach. Ive noticed it arises when I have food. If it got late or sometimes when I have chinese/ spicy/ oily (not always) or sometimes it gets triggered when I overeat. I have a very low appetite and have acidity issues. I can not drink carbonated drinks. I can not have alcohol without suffering with headache the next 2 days. And I always have to puke everything out from my system to feel better thats the only solution that helps lessen my headache. (one moment im able to have it all and the same things I can not have at some other time it is not necessary I have problems with these food always.) I don?t want to exclude everything and understand why my body reacts this way. My body just gives up and shuts down anytime it experiences such episodes. Also im not sure if I should visit a neurologist or gastroenterologist for the same as the outcome is headache.

You should avoid food which provokes the episodes. Also try to take the painkiller as soon as the headache starts so that the episode will be aborted. In my opinion you need medications which prevent these episodes in addition to painkillers you should approach a neurologist.

Dear lybrate-user you don't have to exclude everything from your diet permanently. 1. Typically, for the time being,(4 weeks) if you avoid or at least reduce the amount of such gastritis-causing foods, you will be able to manage your headaches better. 2. Also note, adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet can also reduce the incidence of migraine attacks. 3. Also, if gastritis is a common problem with you, treating gastritis will reduce your migraine attacks lifestyle medicine can be the best medicine.
