I think many people report fast results with cutting back sugar.
If you cut it all out you may see results in a week or two! Once you reduce sugar and high glycemic intake, you can go back in a month and binge on sugar (ice cream is one thing that will bring back symptoms) and see if your symptoms return quickly.
If you search the net on "insulin resistance" you will find some doctors who believe that many people over 40 start to develop this condition. Insulin resistance leads to inflammation and may lead to type II diabetes (but not in everyone). Our bodies do change with age.
You can look up foods on this resource and see the inflammatory index for them...that is helpful too.
