My Story
I have personally been avoiding wheat for at least a decade. After some dietary experimentation with an elimination diet, I discovered that reintroducing wheat made me very tired. I also felt depressed and lethargic. After avoiding wheat for a while, my mood and energy began to improve.

I use a very large dose of ibuprofen (2400 mg) to help with infammation but desire to find another way to deal with it.
