Lee looks at the latest thinking on the links between food and migraines and provides practical advice on controlling headaches.

Seminar Date & Time: Saturday 22nd May, 11.00 - 11.45

Speaker: Ms Lee Tomkins, Director of Migraine Action

Full Synopsis:

Diet and certain foods can be a factor in triggering migraine attacks; this may be caused by a food intolerance. Migraineurs can often react to more than one food, which means it can be a challenge to identify which foods are causing problems, and subsequently eliminating them from your diet.   Lee looks at the latest thinking on the links between food and migraines and provides practical advice on controlling headaches.
