Does gluten cause migraines ?

There is ongoing research and anecdotal evidence suggesting a potential link between gluten consumption and migraines in some individuals. However, the relationship between gluten and migraines is complex and not fully understood.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, rye, and related grains. In people with celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder triggered by gluten, consuming gluten can lead to various symptoms, including headaches or migraines. In these cases, the migraines are typically a result of the immune response and intestinal inflammation triggered by gluten ingestion.

However, there is also a condition known as non-celiac gluten sensitivity (NCGS), in which individuals experience symptoms similar to those of celiac disease without having the characteristic intestinal damage. Some individuals with NCGS report migraines or headaches as part of their symptom profile. It is not clear how gluten might directly cause migraines in these cases, but it is believed to involve a complex interplay between the immune system, gut health, and other factors.
