(60,037 posts)14. You are indeed onto something.
Which would explain "late onset" gluten intolerance in people like me, who had NO symptoms of gluten intolerance until the last 25 years.
It turns out, I have read, that "modern" wheat has been bred to have increased gluten, for "better" bread use.
I do not know the specifics, but it would make sense that the protein structure of modern wheat is indeed different.
All I know is my reaction to gluten changed around 1990, maybe a bit later.
Makes you wonder what other problems "modern" crops are creating.........
