sugar and better for me foods, I think I had less migraines. But after slipping up on the diet here and there, I started to have more headaches. Could SUGAR bring on migraines?

Usual migraine triggers are:
Low Blood Sugar!
Food & food additives
Alcohol (especially red wine), caffeinated beverages, nuts, nitrite/nitrate-preserved foods (hot dogs, pepperoni), smoked or pickled foods.
Light
Strong or glaring light. Flickering lights from TV or computer screen, strobe or laser lights, or reflections.
Smells/odors
Intense, specific food odors, cigarette or other smoke, perfumes, cleaning products.
Stress
Migraine attacks often occur after stress - especially on weekends and holidays. Many people mistake these as tension headaches.
Weather Changes
High humidity, atmospheric pressure changes, rapid temperature fluctuations, and exposure to extreme heat or cold may bring on migraine attacks. Many people mistake these for "sinus headaches."

i dont know the name of this but my friend has a bad problem with this. She is only 17 and she cannot eat sugar at all because it causes migraines. She is reading a book about this..I dont remember the name but Im sure u could google it. Some people have that reaction to sugar. She has to avoid sugar completely no soda, no nothing. And now she is fine!

It's a possablity. Too much sugar isn't really good for you and it will actually make you gain weight.

It may be your trigger, sure.
My trigger is crab (real crab, not imitation) from food.
