Migraines
Root Cause
Water-Deprivation Headache
Two specific biological mechanisms:
Osmotic Diuresis Migraine: "Osmosis" is the process of water moving across membranes to balance out concentrations of solutes. Your combination of high-dose processed fiber, sugar alcohols, caffeine, and creatine creates a massive concentration of solutes in your gut and kidneys. This triggers "osmotic diuresis"—your body forcefully pulls water out of your bloodstream and brain tissue to process those compounds, shrinking the vascular volume in your head.
Vascular "Let-Down" Migraine: This explains the timing (like the shower incident). Once the diuretic (caffeine) or the stress wears off, your severely dehydrated, constricted blood vessels suddenly rebound and dilate rapidly. That rapid expansion is the actual "aura" and pain trigger.
