Protein shake causing migraines?

Okay, I realized something really weird this morning on the way home from dropping my oldest off at school. I used to get migraines 2-3 times a week when I was working. After I was fired in 2014 because of my attendance, they miraculously stopped. I just stopped being migraines. They started up again a few months ago. I couldn't figure out what had changed.

For the past few months I started drinking Protein shakes for Breakfast since I didn't have time to fix anything else. About two weeks ago I stopped drinking the Protein Shakes because I actually had the time to make breakfast for myself again. Remarkably, I haven't had a migraine in the past couple of weeks.

Has anyone else had this happen?

My trigger for migraines are florescent lights. Since I worked in a large building which was lit by florescent lighting, the only thing that worked for me when I felt an attack coming was to go outside and recover using natural lighting.

Could it just be hunger that causes your migraines?

I've heard of florescent lighting doing that before. I'm glad that you had warning before the onset. Mine always were there when I'd wake in the morning. I also read somewhere that they are prone to exacerbate ADHD symptoms as well.

I don't think so, but I guess it's possible. I would have thought that if it was hunger i"d have them more often since I have a really bad habit of skipping Breakfast. I've been trying really hard not to do that since starting my bariatric program in November though.

Most popular Protein supplements have almost no real food! They are full of chemicals and for many people those chemicals trigger serious symptoms and health conditions that go unrecognized. Try something organic like "Phood." I also have found the collagen protein to work well for me. I have purchased in the past from Dr. Axe website.
