12 Common Symptoms of Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity:
- Bloating, gas or abdominal pain
- Diarrhea or constipation
- Nausea
- Headache
- Brain fog
- Joint pain
- Neuropathy
- Fatigue
- Abdominal Pain
- Skin Problems
- Depression
- Anemia
I went gluten free (no wheat, barley or rye) about 3 weeks ago and a bunch of symptoms from the above list went away, so I am never going to eat those grains again. Some doctors and nutritionists out there believe that when gluten causes severe digestive problems it's called Celiac disease and when it causes other issues it is misdiagnosed or goes undiagnosed, and that no one on the planet should eat those three grains. All of these other grains are fine though:
Amaranth (Amaranthus cruentus)
Barley (Hordeum vulgare)
Buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum)
Bulgur (Triticum ssp.)
Corn (Zea mays mays)
Einkorn (Triticum monococcum L)
Farro / Emmer (Triticum turgidum dicoccum)
Fonio (see Millet)
Freekeh (Triticum turgidum var. durum)
Kamut® Khorasan Grain (triticum turgidum turanicum)
Kañiwa (Chenopodium pallidicaule)
Millet (Panicum miliaceum, Pennisetum Glaucum, Setaria italica, eleusine coracana, digitaria exilis)
Oats (Avena sativa)
Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa)
Rice (Oryza sativa)
Rye (Secale cereale)
Sorghum / Milo (Sorghum spp.)
Spelt (Triticum aestivum spelta)
Teff (Eragrostis tef)
Triticale (x triticosecale rimpaui)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum; Triticum turgidum)
Wild Rice (Zizania spp.)

Edit:. Okay not ALL the other grains but a lot:
"Grain products that are not gluten-free include any type of wheat (including farina, graham flour, semolina and durum), barley, rye, bulgur, kamut, matzo meal, spelt, triticale, couscous, emmer and einkorn. These should be avoided."
