    Hi @maryendowarriorqueen, I noticed this was on your profile page as a question but unfortunately most people don't see that. So I posted it here for you!

    I do not have any experience with hormone based migraines but I used to have many issues with bloating and my Crohns disease. It took some work in my diet to figure out what was causing it, I went on an elimination FODMAP diet. Where you remove foods high in FODMAPs and slowly add them back in. If anything starts the bloating again you take it back out and keep adding back in other foods.

    For me the biggest problems were lactose and too much gluten. I can have a few slices of white bread a day, but I can't have too much bread. I also stopped consuming anything with lactose in it. Luckily cheese aged more than 6 months has very little lactose in it so I still get to enjoy mature cheese 😊

    It can be different foods for everyone though, and it's quite a tough diet to go through.
