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?

Also, gluten has not always been a part of diet. It’s a fairly recent thing. People have been using gluten products for about only the last 10,000 years out of the 300,000 years we’ve been around.
