I have seen people try this method and have the strong suspicion that in some cases, the effect stopped due to the placebo effect, because the person thought that food had something to do with it. Then the effect returned together with various foods based on random chance, and the person became forever convinced that that particular food was bad for them.
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.
Yes, that is a plausible pathological case. But… some people definitely have specific diet-related triggers (sulfates is a common one) and if you have those… it’s worth finding that out.
If you’re worried about false-positives—then go see a dietician to do it however the proper way is to make sure.
