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?
