You need to be off grains. Permanently. Forever

So what. We didn't start eating them until a few thousands years ago. The only reason to eat grains is that they are cheap. Better to save on other things.

No milk forever

Why? The previous book (GCBC) itself talks about how well Masais are, living basically on milk and blood, and it's an indictment of bad science research (cholesterol and sat fat paranoia) and a suggestion on where the problem or part of it could be (sugar and refined carbohydrates)

Milk contains a gluten-like protein called Cesin which is gut-inflammatory. The liquid part of Milk also contains a bunch of dissolved cow hormones.

Other Diary like cheese, yougout & cream MIGHT be okay for you (depends on your tolerance) but Milk should be avoided forever. The advice I've read is to avoid all diary for a month (giving the gut time to heal) and then reintroduce it and watch the results (feelings of bloating, energy levels, etc). In that way you can figure out how sensitive you are.
