Could GI Symptoms be related to migraine or something else?

I know I have asked this before, but I can't find the answer. I have had GI symptoms for about a year that seem unrelated to my headache. Constipation, diarreah, cramps, gas. I can't track down a food except dairy and that doesn't account for all of the symptoms.

The symptoms you're describing could be related to your Migraines, BUT they could also be sympptoms of something else such as IBS. Please see your doctor to find out.

 

I'm sorry not to be able to give you a better answer, but nobody can answer this online. It needd to be answered by your doctor.
