Title: a few questions
Post by papajohn on Jun 2^nd, 2006, 6:03pm

Does anyone know if sugar, soda or marijuana can either help to trigger a CH or make it worse once you have one?

Hi Papa
Sugar or soda arn't a trigger for me; as for marijuana the people who use it or know of it's use will tell you that it is a trigger, as for me I dont touch the stuff, I can get silly enough on a bottle of scotch.
Regards
Barry

Pappajohn,

I don't touch the smoke either, but I've heard up 'en 'round these parts that it's a trigger for many. Prolly best off stearing clear till your cycle is over.

Sugar and soda? I'm a diet Pepsi addict...no change in activity with or without.

For me aspartame (sweetener in diet coke) will trigger a headache while in cycle. So will citric acid in sodas like Dew.
