It seems like a new thing and while I don’t know what it is like for non-celiac gluten sensitive people, I can speak on celiac disease. I know that in WW2, when there was less bread, some sick children got healthier. When bread came back to tables, the kids got sick again. These sick children found to have celiac disease.

Celiac disease, affecting around 1% of the population (about half the amount of redheads in the world, for scale) is a weird disease with over 300 different symptoms, many of which can be explained away by other ailments. This makes celiac disease go under the radar a lot.

If the culprit is going under the radar, people don’t attribute bread to being the problem.
