A few years ago I developed this and had no idea what the problem was, but
it got so bad that there were days I literally could not walk.

After several weeks of torture, stretching my arches, self massage, hot
water soaks, ibuprofen, changing shoes and general dismay, I finally just
Googled "why do my feet hurt? ".

That led me to plantar fasciitis which I read a lot about and understanding
that it's inflammatory, I searched for dietary connections and finally came
down to wheat, specifically modern strains of commercial wheat (I am not
coeliac). I cut all wheat from my diet. Within a few days the fasciitis
dialled way down and then stopped completely.

I can now eat bread made from spelt, but commercial wheat still provokes
plantar pain. It's a pretty reliable litmus test for me.

That's just my own experience, but maybe it can help others. A good book on
the health impacts of modern wheat varieties is "Wheat Belly". If you DM
me, I can share a PDF copy.
