Sorry for coming in late, but: headaches that start abruptly (as in “four months ago”), are this disruptive, and keep going on for months should be checked out by a doctor.
You moved three time zones in the middle of the problem, and you are not reporting a big change in frequency/severity. This makes random outside factors less likely. While food can be a cause of headaches, it is actually not that frequent of a cause, and usually a clear link can be found—especially if someone gathers extensive data like you did.
If you really want to avoid medical professionals, try washing out your sinuses with saline (Neti pots often work well) once a day for a few weeks—an indolent sinus infection could be a cause. But if this continues (and especially, if it gets to the point of causing nausea), please try to get to a doctor ASAP.

This has been suggested. Here is a description of severity, and they are a “lifelong issue”, it’s just the data collection that has been going on for four months.
Also she’s apparently getting tested for celiac, but I don’t know what that involves.
