Payment sent, with my condolences, as this means you still don’t have a diagnosis and have to keep being unhealthy and miserable.
At this point, I would:
Crank the level of detail of your diet and headache logging all the way up. Note times, note serving sizes, and try to get everything, including snacks and water.
Get the tools for testing blood pressure and blood sugar, to see if these are different whie you have a headache than while at baseline. (These tests are worth considerably less if they are performed in a doctor’s office.)
Look up the false negative rate of the particular test you had and compute a posterior probability (starting from my 75% bet and updating down). If it’s high enough to justify (or if there’s nothing else left to try), go on a low-gluten diet for a week.
Test CronoDAS’s Ibuprofen-rebound theory with a longer detoxing period
Try changing many things at once, by adopting an entirely new set of staple foods for 2 weeks
But most of all, just remember: sooner or later you will figure this out, and when you do, your life and subjective well-being will take a dramatic upswing.
