So, over the past few days ive been having some severly painful headaches. I’ve come to terms that it is because of huel meal drinks. Ive been drinking water with them like people have suggested but it doesnt seem to stop them, these headaches last all day and to the point where i have to sleep. Its a shame i dont want to stop drinking them completely because i love how they have all vitamins and protein i need. Is there an alternative i could try? I have no knowledge of any vitamins giving me headaches before or any sweeteners, this is completely new.
The main question here would be if you have any history of food triggers that cause headaches? Aside from the usual suspects, in rarer circumstances things like flaxseed can also be migraine triggers as can some sweeteners like aspartame and Sucralose.
I’m sorry to hear this!
This isn’t something I hear often so I’m sorry that this is the case on this occasion. I’m going to flag this with one of the team and someone will be in touch with you but in the meantime can you please let me know the following.
What product are you consuming?
How much are you consuming?
How often do you use Huel in a day?
Once we’ve got this we’ll be able to help a little more and narrow down what could be causing this.
None that i know of. Only started recently fitting the same time as i started drinking them. I’ve seen other posts saying it could be due to the sweeteners but i never knew that i was prone to small migraines from them.
Ive been drinking the white strawberry and banana huel meal drinks. I consumed 4 in total and one each day, i started the headaches 2 days after starting drinking them and only realised it could be from them on the 4th day. I fear it may be from the drinks as my headaches have stopped since ive stopped consuming them. I have read that the black one doesnt have the same ingredients so i may try them and see how i do
So there are different ingredients to a certain degree. Compared to the classic RTD, our Black Edition RTD delivers 75% more protein, 28% fewer carbs, and zero artificial sweeteners.
Would you mind dropping us an email at team@huel.com as I’d really like to get this looked into and make sure you’re being looked after correctly
