Kefir Disclaimer

Well, I feel like I should warn people that kefir may not be a good thing for migraine sufferers to drink.  I have been drinking a cup of the stuff a day because I've been reading about all the health  benefits of it.  Sadly, fermented dairy can be a migraine trigger in some people and I suspect I'm one of them.  I can handle home-made yogurt, but kefir is much more fermented.

I had a "woolly-booger" of a migraine on Monday night.  It was weird because I had just gone to the acupuncturist and felt slightly dizzy afterwards.  By the time I got home, it was full-throttle headache and nausea which lasted all night.  Yuck.  I was thinking:  did he put the needle in the "make headache worse" spot instead of the "make headache better" spot?  I also had a migraine this afternoon on the other side.

Well, after reviewing my food diary I noticed that the one thing I've been consuming that is different is the kefir.  I'm going to give it up and see if the headaches get better.  Just thought I'd warn you about it.  I guess I'll go back to my non-dairy probiotic pills instead.  It's like ongoing detective work.

Has anyone else noticed a correlation between fermented dairy and migraines?
