I read "Wheat Belly" while I was going through an amazing inflammation of the skin, and also experiencing (for the first time ever) arthritis symptoms. Full disclosure: I was cheating a lot on my WOE! I was eating grains. Bad me! Bad me! Reading Wheat Belly convinced me once and for all that grains are POISON. I really do think that my cheating caused this inflammation, although I am still having some diagnostic tests done.

I haven't cheated ONCE in over two weeks...eating strictly paleo. Sad to say though that not one pound has come off....I think I hurt myself so much by that last binge of eating that it will take a long time to recover, and start losing the weight again.
