I bought this book thinking I would be getting more of a variety of meals to help prevent migraines and better planning of meals. What I found in my opinion was a lot of receipies with questionable migraine-triggering ingredients. There were VERY few recipes using just the "foods allowed" section. I found about 10 without any yeast, vinegar or other questionable items such as canned or jar ingredients. When you are at the elimination diet stage after being first diagnosed with migraines, this is the diet you need most. At my next Dr. appointment, I plan on bringing in the book to get his opinion. I did find the food purchasing guide helpful.

This book explains in simple language how the selection of foods can help avoid migraine headaches. Most books describe how migraines begin, but this book goes to that next, most important step...what you can do about it! So many migraines begin with foods that "trigger" the onset of the migraine. This book provides lists of all the foods to avoid, and helps you eliminate the ones that are a personal "trigger" for each individual. It's easy to figure out what not to eat, and through choosing from all the recipes, grocery store shopping lists, charts, etc., it's such a relief to know WHAT to do, finally!

Anyone who suffers from migraines should have this book!
