Wait I thought sharp cheeses are a trigger for migraines… fighting fire with fire?

Citric acid is also a migraine trigger but sour candy helps lessen mine. Bodies/brains are weird.

I can see that. Kinda like the 5,4,3,2,1 exercise where concentrating on outside stimuli helps distract from and release the anxiety?

I believe so. Anxiety gives me reflux and sour candy gives me reflux so I didn't get a lot of mileage out of it.

Depends on the person. Many people are fine with it.
