That M Word: A Migraine Blog

Is gluten giving you a headache? (via migravent.com)After my whirlwind of tests on my stomach last week (see here and here), I learned yesterday that I do not have Celiac Disease. I definitely still have some sort of gluten sensitivity. I’ve been learning so much more about the relationship between migraines and stomach pain. It seems like I am not alone in noticing this! I’ve talked to so many wonderful migraineurs this past week who also have mystery stomach pain, gluten sensitivity, and/or celiac.

I was particularly excited to read this article from the people at Migravent on the links between migraine and celiac disease. I’d love to learn more about the connection between migraines and stomach pain, so if you have any information or personal experience, please share it!

Have you noticed a connection between stomach pain and migraines? Have you ever tried a gluten free diet in an attempt to reduce migraine and/or stomach pain frequency?
