Stop eating gluten. Botox never helped me but eliminating glucose from my diet stopped the headaches completely.

I tried that years ago with no luck. How long do I have to stop gluten to know?

Please, I have been on every elimination diet there is, gluten included. I had to be on these drugs called MAO Inhibitors (some very old antidepressants that have diet restrictions that are extremely restricted because certain foods react very badly to them, as in to cause a hypertensive crisis and death). That MAOI diet eliminated everything from chocolate, to cheese, nuts, processed meats and foods. The list of foods to avoid is daunting. It was also called a “tyramine free” diet. From my understanding tyramine is also produced when foods break down so leftovers were out of the question. I followed this extremely strict diet for several years and it did not make any difference in my migraines except to make me miserable. Have you been on a restrictive diet like this? I lost 100 lbs but still had the headaches. Please do not tell me it’s my diet.

Eliminating gluten 15 years ago definitely helped my gut issues and may help others with inflammatory pain. I will NOT have gluten at all now.
Unfortunately stopping gluten definitely did not eliminate my migraines.
