🚨 The more foods you cut out, the MORE sensitive you become.
Yes, really (I’m sorry 😫). If you’ve been avoiding every possible migraine trigger, but now your list of safe foods keeps shrinking, this is why:
⚠️ Your body is losing oral tolerance.
Long-term restriction changes your gut, immune system, and nervous system, making you MORE reactive over time. Here’s what happens:
🔬 Your gut bacteria die off → Less diversity = more sensitivity.
🛑 Your immune system gets confused → It starts treating food as a threat.
⚡ Your nervous system goes on high alert → Stress & food fear reinforce the cycle.
🔥 Leaky gut & inflammation → Food particles sneak into the bloodstream, triggering symptoms.
This is why avoiding food forever is NOT the answer.
Good news - you CAN rebuild tolerance! The key is to slooooowly reintroduce foods while working to improve gut health and nervous system balance at the same time.
Migraine management isn’t about restriction—it’s about resilience.
