I’ve been having the WORST migraines, my eyes were in so much pain and I did this and I’m in so much relief I could cry
so did you find out what food was causing the migraine ?
@@hamahawta I was taking betaine hcl for the acid reflux thinking it would help but it was giving me the awful headaches. I realized that I was experiencing the acid reflux bc my triglycerides were too high. Eating less carbs and more fruits n veggies and protein helped fix that.
@@applepie3276 I'm so glad that you fixed it. However, how did you find out that your triglycerides were too high ? what type of tests should I perform ? tbh I'm overwhelmed by the amount of videos I have watched and don't know where to start to find the issue.
@@hamahawta I did a blood test at my doctor’s office! Trust me I know how overwhelming it can be. I spent so long trying to understand what was happening to me.
I would suggest that you go give a blood test to see if everything’s okay. Fasting helped me a lot. Celery juice every morning did as well too. Stay strong, I know everything will get better in time!
Who else is up half the night watching Dr. Berg videos 🙋😆. And this gallbladder massage works like a charm!
I watch dr berg videos all the time and i always help my friends with health issues, always from what dr berg says, i am in thailand and the thais cant understand the english
I didn't get how to do it. Please guide me
I surely believe this for myself. Every time I have a migraine I always have bad indigestion & possible nausea.
I have migraine and gastritis. Whenever the gastritis gets worse, so does the migraine and no doctors in my country seem to get the connection. Thank you dr. Berg
Me too gastritis and Migraine so i watch what i eat, drink warm water and exercise
Same with me it sucks
Me too. Mines weird bcoz its triggered when ever im hungry. But ever since i started doing wet cupping i don't suffer from migraine anymore. Its been years and im so relieve.
@@sandranchindo i also have selective allergies. i'm not allergic to the food itself but the chemical reaction when substances in certain food mix together so i can be eating bread and banana separately and i'm good. but if i eat them together i get severe migraine. T.T
@@dcgaara890 glad to hear. it's interesting. i should try it too. thank you for sharing.
I gave up wheat because of acidity, and found my migraines improved. I basically eat only meat, eggs and milk products and my migraines have reduced from about 18 a month to zero. I still get headaches, but they are easily aborted. No more four days of vomiting and pain, and no more brainfog. I love your videos.
excellent
How long after starting it did the symptoms subside?
Thank you Dr. Berg. I've had migraines for years and have taken pain killers and recovery in a dark room for a couple days to get over this each time. I watched all your headache videos and found my headaches were tied to digestion. This time, I drank lemon water and even ate the lemon afterwards and my migraine was just gone within minutes. I was in awe of this simple remedy and so very grateful for you and all your videos. I also love your products, genuinely, and am such a fan of all your work!! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Lemon water? With gastritis can you drink that?
Less than 1 cents o solved my prolonged migrane for 30 yrs.
Empty stomach after brushing take 1 inch size of ginger daily .. it will normalise pile production which is main reason for migrane...
It was told by sidhar in South Indian sidha medicine
Last one month I took only half tablet earlier it was more than 30...
It works for me.
@@peaceandlove544
Lemon water will increase it in my experience..
@@krishnakumar-gy6tw
Fresh ginger or tablet?
If it's fresh, do you chew it?
Add salt too
I had severe migraines it was a tumour pressing down on my brain..thankfully completely removed now and no headaches later..
Wow...fantastic!!!
Did you vomit when you had the Tumor? Glad your ok 👌
You are very lucky that all is ok
How did you find out it was a tumor? My gf has migraines all the time and drs always prescribe ibuprofen and tylenol and we're pretty tired of it
@@abrahammendez8573 yes I did quite a bit and felt so nauseous
Headache right side, intense. Laid down, did the rub but nothing noticable.
Waited 10 minutes. Sitting upright in chair. Massaged right side. Felt a gurgling, then headache disappeared in seconds. WOW.
Wow! I just tried the massage and immediate relief!!!! 15 years I been dealing with migraines. Last couple years almost every day. Imitrex the only drug that worked. I guess I’ll keep trying, but tonight I sleep without meds! Thank you Dr Berg!
Did this work again?
Oh my goodness, I had never thought that my migraines could be handled via the digestive system. I've had problems with my gallbladder many times, but never did I correlate the two.
I had just started getting that familiar migraine now on the left side of my forehead, right above the eye. I thought I'd check if you had some video about this. And then I tried, just like you said, to massage the side of the gallbladder, where I was most tender. And I am baffled, but less than a minute into massaging the pain in my head went away. Even the tenderness I get right under eyebrow. That has literally never happened before, it takes a lot of pain meds to do that. I just started laughing in joy, I can't hardly believe it. It's like a miracle cure. Thank you 💗😊
Wow, this blew my mind. I have gallbladder issues and never really connected them to my migraines (nor did any doctor). Thank you for this video!
This works. Had a hard-hitting migraine than wouldn't go away. After a few hours, I started watching videos to see if I could find something that would work since medicine didn't. Came across Dr. Berg and the Gallbladder connection, tried massaging the area mentioned for two minutes... nothing. Waited another five minutes... no improvement at all. However, around fifteen minutes (total) from implementing the steps... +90% of the pain was gone. So just because you press for 2m doesn't mean the pain will go away right then... give it a little while longer and see... Couldn't believe how well it worked when the meds (taken hours earlier, so it's not like they kicked-in) did nothing. I definitely thank God for Dr. Berg.
sulfates, cheese, aspartame, preservatives, chocolate, wine, bread, anything with soy, eggs, I can drink distilled water and organic chicken and green's!!!! been on Keto 6 month's...saved my life!!!!
Fantastic
I know!!!! Thank you soooo much...
Me too!! When I fall off the keto wagon I get migraines and stomach acid. Bile salts have helped me tremendously and so has doctor Bergs advice on "pinching " the gallbladder.
barbara mcintosh ~ I bought a distiller and that is all I ever drink is distilled water , I add my “sole’” salt water to it ..... it’s pink Himalayan salt and I have a salt water one as well . I alternate through the the day . Look it up , has improved my digestion and gotten rid of dehydration ! So that’s my “ mineral “ water 😃
Infortunately migrene doesn't like nutritional yeast 😐😐😐
You’re so honest and generous giving all this helpful information thank you 😊
Thank you doctor Berg, for this library you create here.
since I cut back on carbs. When I do eat them I notice a headache come on next day..
Videoyu tam olarak anlayamadım Türk olduğum için. Karbonhidratlı beslenmeyi bırakmamız mı gerekiyormuş?
I've struggled with migraines for 37 years when I changed my diet habits. Migraines completely dissapeared. Granted, my migraines can still be triggered by light, sound, stress etc... but its like 10 - 30% of the pain that I used to have when my diet was bad. And it rarely happens compared to the chronic pain I used to have.
Does hechdache continues happen from 15-17 days , or 1-2 day or 3-4 hours in migraine?how about your pain sir.
This is amazing! I am 54 and am a life-long migraine sufferer. Before I share what I want to share, I first need to provide the back story. About 7 years ago I had a hysterectomy and subsequently discovered I had stage one ovarian cancer. My oncologist strongly recommended that I change my diet and begin to learn about the food supply. I dove in and learned about the evils of GMO’s and pesticides. Also, through blood tests I found out that I am severely allergic to dairy. (And some other things -less so.) So I straightened out my diet and couldn’t believe how much better I felt in every way. No more “asthma”, no more daily headache, and many other benefits.
WELL, last summer I went to Europe. Since GMO’s are banned there, I stupidly hoped I could get away with eating cheese (my favorite). I COULDN’T. I got such a severe migraine that I couldn’t even go to an emergency room. Two doctors came to my bedside in my hotel room. The woman doctor’s specialty was migraines. She kindly and lovingly taught me all of what your video stated and more. (Including the use of heat and ways to detox) It was quite a strong lesson which taught me that I need to respect my body’s dietary limitations and to pay attention to the signals my gallbladder offers. I still get migraines, but they are FAR less frequent and severe -unless I the knucklehead in me eats something I shouldn’t -then I totally deserve it. Thank you for the added points in your video!!!
What do u do for gallbladder and migraines. I suffer bad
I’ve been suffering from a migraine for over a week now and just tried the technique in this video, within a minute the migraine subsided. Thank you so very much Dr. berg!
Same here!🤗
No disrespect, but do you know that if you had a migraine for a week that you would be dead? Are you confusing Migraine with headache?
@@chellybabyme rubbish
@@randomdm dead from dehydration.
@@chellybabyme i have migraine for days i can eat & drink, what are you on about
Makes sense. There’s a reason why some people feel some sort of relief when they vomit during a migraine. Also, the hyperacidity that is present during a migraine.
🤯🤯 I can relate to that
@@harleengonzalez2364 me too.
I will do the liver and gallbladder cure aka Andreas Moritz. Look it up!
@@harleengonzalez2364 7
I can relate! I am only relaxed after I have vomited.
It's like a vicious circle
Cheese, fresh onions, alcohol(wine especially), gluten, tomato, dairy in general, sudden change in lifestyle (can't start special diet, coffee withdrawal)
Tried and true over many years of being bent over my head and vomiting. Definitely manageable by watching your diet.
Thank you so much doctor ! Many of the myths that I grew up with have been laid to rest after I started watching your channel. This is one such myth. I have experienced headaches which wouldn't go away for couple of days. Knowing that it's related to digestion, I had no answer to cure it. Thanks again.
Dr Berg 😳😳😳 I tell you to come live in Jamaica. I just try this method cause my tension migraine im the right side of my head was acting up and i felt instant relief . Thank you. 😊
How wonderful, another great video thank you Dr Berg.
Wonderful. Your videos are precious. Never stop doing
Oh! What an INTERESTING subject👍🏻! Please more info on this topic 🙏🏻
You are absolutely right about the problem being in the digestive system.
I’m 69 years young, and have had two migraines in my life. Both occurred while I was working graveyard shift, around 2005. Sleep deprivation preceded both occurrences for me. Never again since, as I was able to get off of the night work, and am now happily retired, healthy, happy and pain-free!
Thank you sir. Tried massaging myself under the ribcage. This helped followed by putting salt (sodium) under my tongue. Tried both back to back and the pain just went away.
IBS! After years of referred pain from the corner of my colon that starts in my neck, occipital & temporal areas and ends stabbing me in the back of the eye, my doctors had me investigating IBS since before Covid, off to the dietician, detailed IBS diet plans, etc. It works, but sometimes I get it wrong and the migraines come back. None of the doctors have had anything to say about the referred pain, can't understand or explain it. Finally this makes sense! Now I have something to try next time that will hopefully kill the screaming pain...
Thanks a lot for all the valuable content you share. Is there a way to fix hormonic migraine?
In my country we say " i have a gallbladder attack", here in US they say migraine. But the term is so general. The first thing during a "migraine" our doctors ask us what did we eat prior to that. Fatty meats, mayo, heavy cakes, fried foods. Diet for migraines/lazy gallbladder is a fad diet. (No spices, fried, fat) boiled instead of fried
That rip pushing technique's unbelievable. Worked in a matter of seconds. How can sth. that sounds so bogus be that ON POINT
I just tried that massage and I must say the area I massaged was incredibly tender to the point it hurt. My headache is a little better but I will continue doing this as I gain better gut health. Thank you
Yes every time I'm constipated I usually get a migraine. Mine are visual and they blind me then I have to lay down and cover my eyes
Constitution is a gallbladder issue as it doest release enough biosalts . Try to have those more . Dr . Berg has video about that.
Thanks a ton for this!!I occasionally get migraine either when I delay my meals or eat spicy food.Trying to control myself now 👍
Dr. Berg can you please do a video on how to properly stretch the IT band
More updates/new suggestions on this topic please 🙏🏻
This is so relivent to me right now, I've been Keto for quite a few months now but this last few weeks I've been concentrating on fat intake and slowly I've noticed my vegatable intake has just dropped out nearly completely. So for the past two days I've concentrated on adding as many green vegetables as I can eat in one sitting (not literally) and I feel so much better. Still a little boated as my body gets used to digesting them again but I'm feeling so much better and the headache has all but gone. I was blaming "Keto Flu" but I figured after such a long time following this diet I shouldn't still be suffering from that.
My migraine triggers are poor sleep, eye strain (wear sunglasses all the time outside so I don't squint + blue blockers during computer use), coffee, cacao, dehydration, and believe it or not, intense exercise. They totally blow and most of my day to day decisions are influenced by my susceptibility to migraines.
Same with me ! Dehydration is biggest trigger for my migraine , also eye strain
Mine are cyclic with ovulation and menstruation. But they go away when I eat keto so it's also food related.
add wild yam, you will be amazed.
Dr. You are absolutely amazing ❤️❤️👍🏻
I,personally,stopped to use all milk product and sugar substitute like splenda....My migraine and some anogher problem (breast lump,menstrual problem)were gone..Thanks for your information.I hope it helps more people.
Thanks Dr Eric
Hmm I haven't had a headache since I Started keto about 2 weeks ago. Usually my headaches relate to TMJ. I bought mayonnaise and had some today. It's top ingredient is canola oil. To hell with Hellmans!! Damn can't get away without reading the labels. Back to kewpie Japanese mayo for me made with sesame oil... no headaches.
Thanks you so much!
Dr Berg your amazing, I had migraine I just placed upper my stomach as u instructed it was very tender and migraine just disappeared suddenly , sending love from Dubai
So knowledgeable!!
Many of my friends tell me that certain foods trigger their migraines. It all makes since now. Thank you Dr. Berg.
I have just developed migraines I will so try this. Thank you
I have had migraine for years . I am reading and exploring since .Out of many triggers i agree
to I think this must be one of triggers no one spoke much . Thank you for your deep insight.
Glad to help!
I started taking xylitol for the last 3 days i have experience rumbiling, and tumbling in my tummy couple of hrs after drinking my black tea with xylitol so i total agree with you ,i have to stop taking it. Thanks
Mine stopped after getting off of birth control! Plus magnesium helps a lot!
Please do a video on vestibular migraines
How does it feel to have saved so many lives? I mean wow!! Thank you ❤
Hi Dr Eric, could you please make a video on vestibular migraines. It has been wrecking havoc on my life for several years and some tips on controlling it would be very much appreciated. Hope you see this comment 👍🏽🙏🏽
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, please see Dr. Berg's videos here about migraines: www.youtube.com/@DrEricBergDC/search?query=migraines

It makes our life miserable. A video on this would be great:) @@Drberg
Hi😊, how do you know what you shouldn't be eating? Do you have a video for that (in regards to gall bladder, migraine, etc)? Thank you!👍
Wowo Dr you 're super, I try it nd my headache is gone thank u
I had daily migraines yrs ago. I found out about the trigger list and removing various foods fixed most of my migraines so this starts to make sense about digestion being the main problem.
Works instantly. I’ve seen him make mistake only once in a 50+ different-topics videos, when he took net carbs for total carbs. Not a big deal. I admire him so much. If I feel bad, I google his videos and they always, always help! Thank you ^_^
I started my day with extra salty liver and butter after having a bad day nap, which led to migranes. This massage is a super cool stuff
Thanks for all your to the point... no b.s. wealth of information. :-)
I did what u said I got better right away. Thanks
Mostly sudden changes in routine & going without food for long hours especially in the evening can trigger a migraine. If you are used to a short nap & skip it or sleep longer than usual also causes a migraine.
i believe this. totally
Thanks Dr. Berg!
Had trouble massaging it myself, but I had luck lying down in the sun and sucking my tummy in until I felt the tenderness on my right side from the inside.
Although I feel it in my lower right, thinking it might be a digestion issue like a clog.
Hi Dr. Berg, My migraines seem to occur from stress, hormonal fluctuations, MSG, eating too much sugar ( so I suspect the hormone fluctuations are from eating too much sugar), and lack of sleep do you recommend a KETO diet as you mentioned that migraines are caused by digestion issues?
I had a food poisoning last night and I have a horrible migraine. Thank you doc
I switched to a vegetarian diet and developed headaches almost daily within 3-4 months. Your procedure detailed here worked instantly. I’m wondering if I should return to my former eating habits?
Dear Doctor, You really come through IN THE CLUTCH! Finding a connection between migraines (and salt!) and gut pain is amazing. It is time to get your gallbladder formula! My only handling at the moment is fasting and drinking salt water.
I have had migraines since my twenties and I am 47 now. It's always around my monthly cycle.
That actually can be an indicator of low progesterone 👍🏻
Please consider taking Shatavari . it fixed my period migraines and is ayurvedic medicine for it . I am sure it will dramatically improve ur situation within a month of consumption
@@YinYanUzumaki Thanks so much for your tip. I have found intermittent fasting has really helped lessen the frequency of the migraines. Xx
I on rare occasions get sparkly vision, like a migraine aura--without the headache, but I do get dizzy and a little nauseaus. I ate gluten free noodles last night and although I am usually low carb/no grain. I have a feeling there is a connection. I also recently did a gall bladder cleanse but feel like I need to do another one. Back to low carb for me to see if this goes away.Right side is tender.
Wow great! I tried to massage and it works! Thank u so much dr Berg, u are a blessing🙏🏻
@Dr. Eric Berg DC can you please please talk about pre period and period migraine...it's something I am suffering with lately a lot. I'm 35 yr. Old. I'm using 200mg of DIM supplement but not regularly. Please support and make a video. Thank you🙏
Unbelievable! I’ve had this migraine for about three days and realized that it was my gallbladder after I did the massage. The right side was more tender than the left. The left had no tenderness. My migraine has reduced 95% in intensity. Thank you, Dr Berg! ❤❤
That technique my physiotherapist gave me,it s so pleasant
You are the best sir
You're simply the best Dr Berg.
Thank you for your kind response.
Not disagreeing with you, but I have read many many stories about people with brain tumors and some of them had serious head pain before going to the hospital and subsequently finding out that they had a brain tumor. As for me, my digestion has greatly improved and my migraines have disappeared. Thank you for all of the great videos and your willingness to teach us about health.
1:50 - If this does not relieve your headache, it’s not coming from the digestive system.
Dr berg! What do you know about treating abdominal migraines?? My best friend is suffering, ive had him on keto and fasting, all organic whole foods.
Really it's true,for a while I thought it headache,it's only because of my digestive system
Wow good stuff... I'm gonna study my gallblader functions. I think it's importance is so underated.
i did allways have digestion issues and which gave a headach later...i allways felt it had something to do with digestion.i totally agree with your advice.i tried it ,and felt light instantaneosly..can u give some tips on how to identify what we are thr wrong things that we are eating!
Lately I’ve had pain on my left side and weird migraines mostly not pain migraines. I was trying to work out if there was a connection because of the timing.
I will try the massage and see if it helps.
Hi Dr, I just tried this and I felt more throbbing pain in my head when I massaged my left side. Does that indicate anything or do I need to keep massaging? Thank you
@drberg Eric Berg do you think migraine related to Endometriosis, I have Endometriosis, my migraine got irritated by sunlight and louder sounds! I also have a lot of stress, anxiety and IBS.. what do you think?
I started taking "alka clam effervescent magnesium/potassium powder". It was really cheap, I got it at my Chiropractor's office.....changed my freaken life. I have not had one migraine sense.
Gosh thank you so much! That was like a miracle. I had huge flashing light halo in my vision all morning and they wouldnt go so i couldnt drive. I just watched this and did what you said and they disappeared immediately. Amazing!! :)
I watched one of your previous videos on this while in the throes of a wretched migraine and got immediate relief! I was so thankful. I've been watching your videos ever since. I'm so grateful for you. Seriously an answer to my prayers. I was just told my labs show low Vitamin D. I really think it's an absorption issue though. Where can I get quality vitamin k2 since it's not in your shop right now?
I would just find one from amazon MK7 version - don't have any specifics - but I think you need Gallbladder Formula to absorb these fat soluble vitamins
I had my fillings removed. Still get several migraines a month
I have had a migraine since 2013 24/7. Went to John Hopkins university for diagnosis. After 5 years and every diet/ medicine trial possible I am 100 % convinced migraine is a symptom of stomach and digestion. I am living proof.
If I fast, I start to feel much less pressure and can think clearer (less brain fog). I then can test myself and I’m not joking when I say it takes one, ONE bit of food, to trigger the pressure and brain fog, neck cracking etc. For instance today I tried it with a French fry lol. It took less than 2 min for me to feel the effects. I’ve also been tested for allergies multiple times.
I’ve seen hundreds (literally) of doctors since my onset and they don’t understand. They just throw antidepressants at me even though I’m the happiest person lol. That’s my story! I wish I was closer, I’d come see you for some advice.
Have you tried the diet which has worked for Dr Jordan Peterson and his daughter? She’s had a horrible autoimmune disease all through her childhood. She and Dr Peterson have rectified their situation by eating only meat and perhaps very little greens.
@@jimn1968 Where can I find this diet? I have debilitating migraines and an autoimmune pls.
I have chronic migraine .Naadi shodhana or anulombiloma ( breathing yoga) helps a lot by cleansing energy channels.
This is sooo correct!
Su jok accupressure 👍🙏💚 you can apply yourself and Works good
My migraines are from having low blood sugar from not eating and then eating something which increases my blood sugar.
He is right. It so is what you eat. At least for me it was for sure.
Peanut butter, salt and vinegar crisps, canned meat, energy drinks, white bread are some of my triggers for migraine. Especially if I have these kinds of foods on an empty stomach and come inside to a place where it is colder or at room temperature, from being outside in the sun.
Ha! It worked. Thx!
Ok..eased
Thank you sir!
Most welcome!
Great info !
Oh my goodness.. it worked right away… my head was killing me all day. Thou let me ask dr berg…😀problem solved! 🙏🏽
Gallbladder removed, 2001, migraines began just a few years ago
