Anyone tried this for migraines/headaches?

Sound interesting and definitely worth a shot! (I,ve just had intolerance tests done and awaiting results so I may have to eliminate foods anyway ) if you try let us know how you get on, might do it myself

i am trying the coconut oil but without the diet at the moment......What kind of intolerance tests did you do?

[Juliapester3 in reply to jasperc163]

Hi jasperc, if you google igG intolerance test you will get lots of options. I did the one that uses hair strands. I also had mineral testing and nutrition test done. This cost £120 which I thought was quite reasonable. Site allergytesting.info/

I am aware that a food intolerance may not be the only cause of migraine but can contribute so if I can eliminate these then I,m another step closer! Also something that is overlooked is mineral imbalance, this can contribute to many pain disorders so woerth getting checked too. ( I got all this information from a book I,ve read called 'the migraine revolution')

I eat a very similar diet with great success; high in coconut oil and very low in carbs. It didn't eliminate mine, but is very helpful for me. If I eat badly I will get a migraine. (Sometimes I do over-do the carbs and that is very likely to trigger a migraine.)
