Food triggers for migraines

Hi all,

Ive suffered with migraines since i was 12 (now mid 30s) they've presented in a few different ways over the years - aura, vomiting etc - but since having my last baby its been nausea, extreme fatigue, jaw ache and then head pain with a frequency of almost 3-4 times a week! Its really impacting my life now.

I always thought my triggers were mostly hormonal, however after having multiple gastric bugs over the last year I have inadvertently fasted a few times. During this I've noticed that I don't get migraines, leading me to believe that maybe the issue lies within my diet!

I think I've already identified one suspect - bacon! Which is sad because i bloody love it! So now I'm looking more at other processed meats and nitrates etc

Has anyone else found foods to be their trigger?

My daughters diary suggests hormones and caffeine..... Tea, coffee, chocolate.....
