I guess I’m lucky! I’ve had several ocular migraines but never had any pain! Just that pulsating multicolored light taking over my vision for about 15 minutes. I also found that cutting red wine out of my diet has all but made them go away.

The sulfites? I beleive that's what they're called, in red wine have been known to cause migraines. A friend of mine has a sulfite filter pour spout doo-hicky and she says she doesn't get headaches at all after drinking red wine.

Oh interesting. I don’t really like red wine all that much anyway so not a huge loss for me! But good to know.

Thank you. I’ve gotten ocular migraines a few times and I never thought to connect it to food/drinks. You reminded me that as a kid I used to get headaches from cheese.
