[QUOTE="Goonergal, post: 2306711, member: 368709"] Hi [USER=530332]@BBTempleN[/USER] Sorry to hear about your migraines. I know from experience just how miserable they are. The biggest benefit for me of being diagnosed with type 2 and making radical changes to my diet has been the ending of my chronic migraines. By adopting a ketogenic diet they have completely vanished. Not instantly but fro a point where I was treating 6-8 a month (which in itself was an improvement on a few years earlier), it is now over 3 years since I had one. When I first went keto they got a bit worse - probably didn’t take in enough salt - but gradually they reduced in frequency. The last one I had was about 7 months after I began keto. When discharging me from the hospital I’d attended for well over 20 years, the consultant did acknowledge that there is ‘anecdotal’ evidence that keto works for migraines. It’s not that surprising when you think that it’s often used treat childhood epilepsy and that many of the prophylactic drugs used for migraine are primarily used for epilepsy. So it would be worth you getting blood tests and getting a diagnosis but in the meantime if it interests you there’s no harm in giving keto a shot. I’ll also tag [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] [USER=528595]@Bex72[/USER] and [USER=93179]@Robbity[/USER] who all have experience of migraines. [/QUOTE]
