Glad I could help. 
I have my migraines mostly under control too... been getting them for about 12 years, but it wasn't until I started taking Topamax a few years ago that I actually felt good about them. The soy thing was a surprise though. It takes large amounts of soy to trigger them (first big clue was when I had a protein shake with soy protein powder in it... ouch!), but since it also causes me gas I feel better just avoiding it altogether.
I haven't tried Cystoprotek or Aloe Vera, but I hear that they can help! With the Elmiron, keep in mind that it can take quite a while to work, possibly six months or more. I didn't start to notice a difference until about the five month mark, and I continued to improve over the few months following. But it has really made a huge difference in my symptoms. I went off of Elavil and I now only have to avoid the really acidic things like vinegar, tomatoes, citric foods, etc, and take prelief before many other things.
Hopefully you can find the right combo to ease your symptoms. If you have any more questions, let me know.
