I really don't care if its the placebo effect. If it works, then yay! I mean, I'd rather lose a type of food than be mentally crippled for the rest of my life. But I think I may agree with you on the food point. Its probably that when you cut it down to the necessary things, you're diet gets a lot healthier. And as you add more and more food, there comes a tipping point and you get migraines again. "Oh no! I have migraines again! When did they start? About when I put Generic Food X back in. Hmm, that's probably the case" And they never ate Generic Food X again...

Regardless, I could definitely be healthier, so I'll give it a go.
