My continued hunch is that is not gluten, but a general collection of foods that cause inflammation.

Commonly, these foods are made up of carbohydrates (such as wheat) but there are fats and proteins as well.

Not to sound too crude, but if you fill your gullet full of inflammation-causing food day in, day out - yes, you will not feel well.

If you are not at all an active person - and you're consuming 2-3 meals of over 1500 calories, well - maybe you should point to that is a potential problem?

Simply removing gluten isn't going to make your day too much better if you are washing down GF products with sodas and eating trans fats.
