I feel for you. Start keeping a log of food whenever you have a 
migraine. Just write down what you ate that day. Many people will 
find that food triggers migraines. My doctors gave me a list of 
foods to avoid (or watch). Literally on my wall to my right. It 
says: Onions (garlic), alcohol, chocolate, aged cheeses, 
caffeine, nuts, and lastly, cinnamon is one of the most common 
triggers in the world.

I cut out cinnamon, garlic/onions and my migraines almost 
disappeared.
