Migraines and soda

For most of my life I have drank coke, sprite and dr pepper. I don't really have a favorite. In the last month in an attempt to eat better not just to loose weight but to also be better. I'm tired of being tired and want to be able to do things with my children. I also want more children and want live to be 80. Anyways back in track.
I've in the past month or two started by only drinking sweeT tea, water milk, or juice. However the last two days I had a sprite just because they were at my moms house and I guess it's habit at her house. The first night it was about an hour later we went out to eat and it started as a slow headache that vastly turned into a horrible sticking migraine. I can go migraines for no reason or so it seemed. I never guessed it was the sprite. The only way I got rid of it was peppermint candy cane and sleep. The candy cane was more for my nausea so I could go to sleep.  Yesterday I had another one and right before my headache turned into a migraine I took some medicine. I don't like taking medicine unless necessary and I prefer natural over pharmaceutical. However I'm not an expert on natural medicines I'm slowly transitioning into it. I realized it was the soda. 
So in short I will no longer be drinking any kinda of soda. I have heard from a wonderful preacher I love to listen to (Pastor Steven Anderson at faithful word baptist church) to try making your own soda out of carbonated water and juice so we may try that around here but for now water, natural teas with honey, milk, and juice will be a staple in this house. 
I don't know if this has happened to others or if it accurate or proven but it something that has helped m to change my mine on what I drink for the better!!! I hope it can help you too.
