Interesting! I found that wheat starches in quantity really made me feel draggy. I grew up in the generation used to having bread on the table with every meal. Sugar in any quantity also makes me tired. My glucose levels at quarterly blood checks sometimes run about 100, so doc is doing A1C check next time. Dairy is OK in yogurt or cheese form.
I eat a lot of soup in winter and salad in summer. Four small meals vs three main meals. It is hard, though, if your family doesn't like to eat that way.

Yes we had the same with bread, in fact bread and cheese my favourite food. Unfortunately I ended up with severe stomach pains and nausea. Doctor tried all sorts of tablets and nothing helped then a new doc noticed I had high platelets so I was sent for tests and scans and no one could find what was wrong. But thats when they diagnosed ET. My Kinesiologist discovered my allergy and once I went gluten free pain and sickness went away. Fortunately there is so much choice of gluten free it is not an issue. But dairy substitutes are just as bad as dairy as all fats seem to give me horrendous sinus headaches. I also agree with you re sugar so I limit that. Yes soup and salads and loads of veggies staple diet!
