Why do ALL foods give me migraines or make my migraines worse?

I mean ALL foods. It doesn't matter what I eat. Chicken, fish, bread, rice, bananas, apples, beef, pork, carrots, celery, etc. It ALL gives me headaches. This is true of EVERYTHING except plain and unflavored water. My migraines are debilitating and I am contemplating suicide. I've been to a neurologist for the past 6 months and nothing helps. I've been to an acupuncturist and a pain specialist. I've been to a headache clinic. I've tried physical therapy and that did nothing. At least by keeping a journal of my migraines (which are daily and never ever go away completely) I figured out that every single thing I put in my mouth except water causes me horrific pain. I went to a dentist and my teeth are in great health, so it isn't a dental issue. Seriously, does anyone know anything about this? It's NOT the "migraine diet" crap. ALL FOOD DOES THIS TO ME. Oh, and I tried taking magnesium supplements. No help at all. My vitamin levels are all perfect and have been checked repeatedly. My hormones have been checked and are in balance. My blood pressure is also perfect.

    I have migraines too and know your pain , I saw the doctor and he gave me a huge list of foods that worsen migraines which is like about everything, lol. I mean that list of food included the foods you listed too. I also have taken magnesium supplements which did not help me at all.

    i'm sorry that you're suffering. I have migraine symptoms everyday, not the pain everyday but I do get the pain and it seems like more often lately...but I have the other symptoms on a daily basis it seems like dizziness, sensitivity to motion, sound and light. I even had vertigo which the doctors told me twice was caused by migraines..

    Did you tell your doctor that many foods cause this for you? Doctors are useless and i'm sure you have tried to tell them and they cant help, they couldn't help me with ANY of my issues even the non migraine related ones. This is why I hate Western Medicine and doctors and I hate drugs, they get people hooked on it and it cause more harm than good and causes lasting physical damages and does not ease any of the symptoms or cure anything it is intended to treat.

    Yes, you can if you don't eat right it can cause all sorts of problems. My cousin gets migraines because she is totally unhealthy. Certain foods can cause you to get them. Its different for everyone.

    Having a physical surgery or exercise is important to strengthen your news hips. Walking training with a cane, walker, crutches or other device as well as balance training and or stair climbing to help her on walking straight with no problems. I think before deciding to have hip replacement operation, it might be helpful to gather information to others especially to those expert or do personal research like searching on web.

    It would seem that the condition you have is not really food related at all, but something else. Perhaps an allergic response to mold, weeds, grass, etc.
