Hi Sek,
I'm no expert on migranes or IBS for that matter (I have only got it under control in the last 6 months and that is tenuous). But I can tell you about my experience with IBS and migranes.
I was seeing naturopath for quite a while trying to figure out what was wrong with me ....she had me eating a really strict diet which totally forbade any sugar. I could eat 3 pieces of fruit a day but that was it, no fruit juice, dired fruit, honey etc etc. I was also told to eat a high protein and low (to no) carbhohydrate diet. I have never felt so miserable in my life. I had severe headaches upon waking everymorning, most evenings and they would threaten all day. I would also often get cluster headaches (I have never felt pain like that before) for no apparent readon, maybe just turning my head too quickly. As I continued on this diet it got worse, bone aches, muscle and joint pain and so forth. This is not to mention my stomach problems. About that time I found heather's books and quit seeing the naturopath.
I got stuck into the IBS diet (and I have to admit the sugar after such total deprivation) and within a month the head aches etc went. I can not believe I am the same person as I was six months ago. I don't know if it's relatead but my fatigue and tendancy towards depression have improved out of sight.
So, there's my very long winded way of saying that for me it was not sugar related AT ALL, but that I think it was all the insoluble fibre, and lack of soluble fibre that I was consuming. As well as dairy and red meat.
Hope this helps you at all....
Emma
