since last summer.

I actually follow a low carb high fat diet. I only eat about 20 carbs/day, mostly in the form of cruciferious veggies like broccoli, brussels sprouts, or avocados.

But wheat free is very amazing. Before that I did have gi distress, a form of itchy dermatitis that looks a lot like eczema (on my back and scalp, sometimes as "acne" on my face), and a kind of brain fog or chronic fatigue. I will never go back to eating wheat products again.
