Thank you for sharing your experience with salt. It is reassuring to meet another person who has had a similar issue. I have found sodium to be a key trigger in my migraines and my tolerance for it has increasingly diminished over the years. I have never had much sodium in my diet, but now even the smallest amount, such as added to cooking or on chips, will cause a headache. Because it is sometimes difficult to avoid completely, I try to compensate by drinking plenty of water. I have the same experience with alcohol and have had to cut that out as well. I am glad to hear you have been migraine free for so long and wish you the best.
