Since you have eliminated so many things at once (beef, milk, and some wheat)
how do you know which are the ones that were causing you problems?

Previously you stated that it was the high fat content of your diet that
was causing you problems. The diet that you are on right now does not seem
like it's high fat. Was your previous diet high in fat?

You said that you eliminated milk and limited wheat and that improved your
health. I don't see how, from this, it follows that paleo diet does not
work for you. Eliminating beef (especially if it's grain/corn fed) does
NOT make a diet non-paleo. Perhaps it makes it non-"paleothin" diet.
