While I'm in cycle:
Egyptian, Israelian, Turkish, Greek, Lebonese food. Must be the seasoning. I love the sheep and lamb meat from those countries, but not while I am in cycle.

BTW: love the Norwegian language, but does not seem to trigger me.
Imagine that: a language as a trigger. Well, with CH, ya never know Cheesy

Pascal, your friendly Dutch neighboud clusterhead.

By the way - I noticed interesting thing. It was probably a coincidence but still...

I have been on pretty balanced diet to lost some weight, for 2 months and it didn't affect intensity of my CH. Anyway I started starvation diet yesterday (yes, I know it's usually not healthy but I didn't do that to lose some weight, other reasons). Few hours ago pretty strong attack started. I waited 10-15 minutes, because I wanted to try to deal with it.

Anyway it was getting worse so I went downstairs to bring some ice or make a coffee. 36 hours of starvation diet passed (I didn't plan it longer), I saw some chocolate waffles and ate 2 or 3. After 5 minutes or so the pain was gone...

Yeah as I wrote before - I know food usually works as a trigger, but I was quite surprised (even though it was a coincidence).

Food is your friend with clusters. Small and regular snacks or meals.

A balance in all things does more good for CH than anything else.

There are certain foods that can and will affect each of us differently. ie: some citrus like grapefruit, hops, msg and alcohol. For the most part listed foods for migraine avoidance are proven irrelevant with clusters.

Reply #4 - Aug 18^th, 2008 at 4:21am I think it's like anything, you have to figure out what your triggers are. So far I haven't found any foods that ARE triggers for me... However, I have found that if I'm not eating the clusters are worse. :/
Back to top	As far as I'm concerned, cluster busting has been the best treatment I've tried. No migraines since I started it, and my hits have gotten so much better. Wanna know more?
