It's day 23 of my cycle, and oddly enough, I had a migraine last night, which on reflection, I think may have been triggered by the peanut butter which I had at lunchtime. I wouldn't usually have a migraine at this point in my cycle.
I'm going to avoid peanut butter for a while and see how that goes.
(Having googled 'peanut butter migraine' it does appear that it's a common trigger)
I'm still using the Magnesium Citrate & avoiding red meat this month as per my previous post (below)

I had to come to the realization that peanut butter was a trigger for me as well. Since chocolate is also a trigger, I justified eating PB as a way to curb my sweet tooth, but it was doing more harm than good.

I found that any legume could trigger migraines... maybe due to the natural phytoestrogenic activity? peanuts are a legume - not a nut (silly misleading name!)
ReplyDeletethey are also very high in mold which can be a trigger for some.
