It started with an avalanche of bad things happening. Kind of an achiness and gluey feelings in my joints all the time, and it just started to escalate. A mysterious fatigue where I just felt drugged.

The joint stuff was so bad I couldn’t walk upstairs and couldn’t roll over in bed without hurting. The final straw was when I developed vertigo, which got me to go to the doctor. I thought, I’m too young for this to be going on.

Someone recommended removing things from my diet to see if it would help, and I started with wheat, dairy, sugar, and eggs. By the end of that first week I started to feel better and the vertigo went right away. It was literally like the tide going out. I was very disciplined and reintroduced each food, eggs first, then dairy, sugar, and wheat. When I reintroduced the wheat the back pain reappeared instantly.
