I don't think for most you need to cut out all grains immediately. Granted, I'm generally grain free- except the odd time when I'm jonesing for pasta and have some quinoa pasta.
However, when I simply went wheat free 6 years ago, I went off 4 prescription meds (acid reflux, acne, migraines, asthma) and didn't go the doctor's appointment where I was going to ask for antidepressants because I no longer felt the need. I still had spelt and kamut for years (never really rye- it wasn't great for cakes or cookies), without any problems.
Grain free, I do experience less bloat, and clearer skin, but other than that, I haven't really noticed any difference from my wheat free living to a grain and gluten free living.
So yes, a person could very easily still experience a dramatic change by just giving up wheat.
