suffering bad headaches - suggestions??

I am on that journey to a better body & life. But, since cutting out meat/dairy & sugar, I have been suffering from bad headaches for the past 2 days now. It like kicked in from nowhere. I think I may be detoxing??

I am trying NOT to put any "pain reliever" medication in my body. So, I thought some of you could help me out with some natural alternatives, before reaching for that bottle of "pain relief"??

I have been taking magnesium pills with gatorade ( I know it sounds crazy but it really works ) and sometimes I have to put a hot pack across my head.  I really hope that helps ~ headaches are the worse!

Thank you for responding Rhiannon - I will surely give that a try. I believe I have some Magnesium at home. I just didn't want to fall off the wagon so early by drinking caffeine or sugar. Kicking the coffee habit is hard enough - LOL

My husband was trying to kick that coffee habit but I guess it's really hard!  Yeah my dr is the one who told me about the magnesium!  I ended up having to get shots in my head for the headaches they where that bad!

coconut water helps me and it  tastes pretty good and it works fast. It's good for the summer if you get too much heat.
