Sooner or later most people identify migraine triggers and therefore don’t need to record them. In the majority of people triggers include:

• Skipping meals / dehydration

• Altered sleep pattern / sleep deprivation

• Reduction in stress from one day to the next

• Fluctuating hormone levels (e.g. Oestrogen in women)

Some triggers are less obvious and probably only occur in the minority of people:

• Changes in weather

• Certain foods and drinks

Although interesting – this information is unlikely to guide a Healthcare Professional.​

Life is simply too short! Food diaries are generally not useful in the majority of people with migraine!
