Migraines!?!
I maybe used to get 1 migraine a month but it was more like every other month. Since my surgery (3 weeks ago) I have gotten 1 every week...always on Saturday...I am taking my imitrex but wow...the pre-auras are disrupting my vision. They may not be surgery related at all..but just thought I would through it out there to see if anyone has any thoughts. On a good note...made wonderful salmon and calliflower mash tonight for dinner!! YUM!!!
I used to get bad migraines prior to surgery. I only get headaches now if I haven't been drinking enough water. Try increasing your fluids and see if that helps.

Nutrasweet would give me wicjed headaches.
And constipation. And you can have BM every day and be full of it. I am talking from experiance. Unfortunately.

I am 6 days post-op and with a raging migraine. Artificial sweeteners do it to me, and of course, the prescribed diet is full of sucralose and aspertame. And guess what!? I'm allergic to Stevia. I'm trying monk fruit and have an order of xylitol coming tomorrow. Hopefully it will help. I've read in other places that people just use a teeeeeeensy bit of real sugar. That might be what we need to do. I think like when you get a spoon wet and dip it in the sugar bowl then tap it off, whatever remains. That's gotta be like 1/40th of a teaspoon.
You should definitely take a look at my recent post about migraines and citric acid (incl citrate in vitamin supplements) and rule this out as something you perhaps changed after your surgery:

Good luck!
