Yea, besides the glib answer of me no longer wanting to die because of chronic sinus pain, I do think I'm better off.
I was very much living on sugar before. So I'm no longer making my pancreas work overtime. The repeated inflammation of sinuses was probably going to give me cancer [1], so I'm better off there too. Cutting out gluten (celiac) means my small intestine isn't getting destroyed and I'm probably absorbing way more nutrients than I did before.
My big risks right now are colon cancer when I'm older. I've been eating more vegetables on the weekends to make up for it. As I age I'll also phase out red meat. I don't see any immediate negatives now.
No question I have health gains. Every negative, body destroying thing I was eating is out. I feel great. Now it's just mitigating long term risk.
