This is what helped me as well, plus probiotics to turn my gut flora around.

I have a nagging feeling that "migraine" is actually not an actual single disease. It's rather a syndrome, i.e. a set of symptoms people have for various different reasons.

Through keto and the probiotics experimenting, I've learned much more about how the whole gut thing "works" (very much not an exact science!) for myself and that doctors in general are clueless about it themselves. Or ignorant. Or don't want to deal with anything they can't just diagnose with a 5 minute talk.

My migraines are food related. Without the probiotics I could somewhat control when I might get one by not slipping and eating something tasty but bad for me (like lasagna two days in a row - tomatoes bad). Add to this the fact that food in many cases takes two days to go through your system, eating a food and getting symptoms is delayed. Evacuating the food from your system would also cure the acute migraine headaches and other symptoms. With the right probiotics I can now eat all the lasagna I want and throw in blue cheese and red wine as well!
