Hello Anon,

Glad you have found a diet that helps you.

Whole grains are not the same as consuming white bread or if a person knows they have sensitivity to grains.  

According to Arthritis.org.

Whole Grains

One quarter of your plate should be filled with whole grains -- foods made with the entire grain kernel, including whole-wheat flour, bulgur, oatmeal, whole cornmeal and brown rice. Whole grains can lower C-reactive protein levels in the blood. Try to eat 3 ounces of whole grains daily by switching from white bread to whole wheat, and using whole-grain cereals and pastas.

Some people might want to be careful about the types of whole grains they eat, though. Gluten—a protein found in wheat and other grains—has been linked to inflammation. Although the research hasn’t proven a link, if gluten bothers you, switch to gluten-free whole grains like brown rice, buckwheat, and quinoa.
