Headaches Post-Sugar??

sparrow0716

I've started noticing I get a headache and feel irritable after eating sugar, bread, or fast food. These side effects can occur anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours after I eat something with over 10 grams of sugar in it. Sometimes the side effects happen; sometimes they don't. I've been reading up on sugar addiction and its physical health effects, but is it REALLY sugar that's causing these? (I'm also menstruating right now... Is that a contributing factor in sugar headaches?)

I began eating healthier in August 2012 and have gradually decreased my processed/non-organic food intake since then. Is my body freaking out that I don't eat sugar anymore? What gives?

My diary's open for those of you who have suggestions. Thanks!
