Eli5: what is so bad about gluten and why is everyone gluten intolerant nowadays?

1.66K views

Gluten has always been a huge part of diet so how come people are now intolerant? Is it just a trend? Were people always intolerant but there was no other option? Or has gluten changed though breeding?

Is it possible that people have made themselves more intolerant by excluding gluten from their diet thus losing the ability to digest it?

I have a wheat allergy (and allergy to dairy and soy, amongst other non-food allergies). When I was young, I would get these horrible eczema breakouts and scratch my skin off until it bled. Now I avoid the stuff. For life.
