Red wine was one of them, something about the sulphates in it?? Really any alcohol will trigger them, but red wine especially.

I went to different doctors, tried various OTC and prescription meds over the years, but never made the connection to the hormones in birth control. Still haven't had a successful pregnancy (2 miscarriages), but I believe it's more age-related (I'm now 37) than due to medication. Wondering if anyone has had a similar experience...

For me, removing the salt from my diet from about 2 days before my period through the end of my period and drinking water to "flush" out my system. It works 100%! No salt means no dining out, no packaged foods...I cook fresh food at home so I know whats in it. If I get weak and eat what I crave like sushi or chips, I get a migraine, so I start flushing with water. No pills, no pain, no monthly anxiety. My life has improved!
