Like I said, this has only been my journey. Take it for what it is worth, which
for some, may be zero. I just know it has and is working for me.

It is interesting, however, how some have talked here about "grains". Here are the pertinent verses in D&C 89:

10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome herbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—

11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with prudence and thanksgiving.

12 Yea, flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly;

13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.

14 All grain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;

15 And these hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.

16 All grain is good for the food of man; as also the fruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—

17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.

Notice how verse 14 talks about grains for man, beasts, fowls and all wild animals. Then verse 15 states, "All these hath God made for the use of man ONLY in times of famine and excess of hunger." So, based on my own experience, I read verse 15 to refer to verse 14. Namely, "all grains" hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger. I don't fall into this category of famine or excess of hunger, so I have severely restricted grains and get my carbs elsewhere. My body has thanked me bountifully.
