I've been an episodic clusterhead for 30+ years now. My last cluster was 1 1/2 years ago. I drink at least a gallon of milk each week. Also yogurt, cottage cheese and lots of cheddar and jack cheese (I was born in Wisconsin, it's in the genes). How come I haven't had a CH for 18 months if the lactose thing is true?
I've even been taking 5HTP tablets. My 5HT is probably sky high, yet no CH.
I think you are correct in saying there is some trigger/chemical action which causes spasmodic headache bouts. I don't think lactose is that trigger.
