Hi,
Folic acid is Vitamin B 9 and is found in abundance in green leafy vegetables. B complex vitamins would contain other B vitamins also like B 12 and B6 along with Folic acid.
Thanks
Hey,
thanks for replying.
yeah i might start to record my migraine pattern to see if there is anything there, as for the foods that's not a problem since i hardly ever eat any of those things but i'll be sure to stick away from them regardless. My doctor put me on Folic acid because i had a high red blood cell count is that the same as a b complex? it was suppose to help with my fatigue also but it hasn't really made much of an improvement. I'm considering going back to my doctor and seeing what other alternatives it might be, she did an x-ray of my sinuses last time but they all came back clear.
thanks for your input anyway

Hi,
Thanks for posting.
The possibility that your headaches are due to migraines is very much there. I would suggest you to maintain a headache diary or use the migraine tracker to identify the triggers for your headache. Also cut down the consumption of processed meats, cheese, foods with MSG, artificial sweeteners like aspartame and all canned food because these are known triggers for migraine.
You can also discuss with your doctor about taking magnesium and B complex supplements as their deficiency results in chronic headache.
