[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 291427, member: 1233"] I am sorry I stepped on toes when I said that there are no quick fixes. I have not ever thought of diet and lifestyle changes as "quick". They certainly have dramatic effects on us, especially after we figure out which foods help and which hurt. It is a long process to learn those things. Maybe I think of them in a different category from "quick fixes" because it took me almost a year of food diaries and having my diet changed periodically to figure out what my problems with food are. I was working with a professor at the University I attended. He and a nutritionist and a medical doctor each saw me every week, and then every other week. I had to learn how to track my diet so that it could be put into the computer system (this was in 1989-1990) and analyzed. We discovered that the levels of 2 nutrients drops dramatically as a migraine starts. Taking a supplement of those nutrients at that time doesn't help stop the migraine, but it can be taken when conditions are "right" for me to have a migraine. After a big stressor is over (like after the last final or midterm), after a fight with my parents or my roommate, etc... If I take the nutrients before it hits then I have a much milder migraine. Fairly, I am amazed at the doctors you have seen. For the last 10+ years every doctor I have seen has asked me about my diet, any supplements I take, etc... The only test that wasn't run was the Vit D level. Mostly because I do not present the Vit D deficiency in a typical way. I have done the girlfriend/CF diets 3 times in 20 years, and done 2 rounds of elimination diets for other things. My doctors discuss nutrition and how it affects health almost every time I see them. I am sorry your experiences have been different. I hope that you get doctors who are well informed on diet and nutrition issues at some time. I meant no offense. [/QUOTE]
