I've heard coffee can relieve migraines, including from a friend that has migraines and doesn't like coffee, and other people with migraines and these people don't know each others.

I've not read on the topic, at this point I wouldn't rule out the placebo effect, and it seems in your case coffee wasn't helping you, but it would be interesting to know if coffee caused migraines in you without the gluten.

Now, going on without coffee is nice too!

At one point, if I drunk a coffee just before a migraine started it would go away. Nothing scientific here but it happenned too many times (both had the coffee and didn't) to establish the result for me.
Same for me: I can recognize the migraine coming by some symptoms, then I usually drink coffee and migraine will usually don't show up.
That’s why Excedrin is made with Tylenol, Aspirin, and Caffeine.
