Does anyone have tips on how to start tracking food triggers?
I've been thinking about trying to track my food triggers but it feels daunting! Does anyone have advice on where to begin if I have no idea what my food triggers might be? I've identified a few beverage triggers and just avoid them outright but I'm beginning to think that my diet is playing a role as well. Any help would be appreciated!
Hi Susanmees. Try to assess the food you co sume that could have a direct impact on your liver/gall. The gall has a strong role in emolliating animal fats. Also spiced food mighr be a trigger as well. If you always feel nausea after a big chunk of garlic, you should try to reduce the amount of fatty/spiced foods from your diet.
Hi, Susan! Good luck with your search. Keeping a record of anything negative is a hard chore. You just have to have the attitude of "I'll get you, you little migraine demons!" I'm an older guy, so I like to keep records like that on paper. If I attempt that electronically, either I'll accidentally delete it or send it to an archive, meaning "God only knows where it went & he's not telling!" But, my paper search was successful! While my primary trigger is weather changes, my food triggers turned out to be coconut oil & palm oil. That info turned me into a voracious label reader at the grocery store. So, if I can do it, you can do it even better! And if you would, please keep us posted. We care!
