It feels like my typical headache from stress or dehydration (lack of caffeine when I used to drink coffee), frontal lobe area, achy and pulsing a little, relieved by laying down on a neck pillow (a PT told me once that there is a muscle where the neck and head meet that is nicknamed “the headache maker”). Outside of when I was dealing with BPPV, I have to say I hardly get headaches since quitting gluten. I do get ocular migraines though, here and there, but I never necessarily link that to gluten per se. I still get them, albeit far less severe and less often. I can only think, perhaps, that gluten really did influence my ocular migraines and that could be why they are less often and less severe? Either way, I’ll take it…and sticking with a gluten free diet for sure!

Since going gluten free a few years ago the headaches and sinus problems went away. I gradually started to be lax about my diet and started to eat gluten in bread, cakes etc. I have recently suffered the most horrible sinusitis attack which my doctor gave me 2 lots of antibiotics to try to sort. I have restarted the strictness of my no gluten regime and the headache is abating, slowly but surely.
I’m confident that gluten causes me sinus problems and migraines.
