So here’s the thing—I used to think migraines were just about the head pain. But somewhere along the line, I started noticing this pattern: every time I got one of those knock-you-down migraines, I also felt ridiculously bloated. Like, jeans-don’t-fit bloated.

I brushed it off for a while, thinking it was dehydration or caffeine withdrawal. It wasn’t until I started talking with my neurologist that I discovered the…

For years, I thought my migraines were just a quirky family trait — something passed down like my grandma’s cheekbones or my dad’s sense of humor.
