Modern wheat is bred primarily for optimal industrial processability. Many experts say it has lost some of the healthy properties and good digestibility compared to indigenous wheat strains.[0]
That seems to be the reason a rising number of people, that don’t have normal celiac disease, nevertheless have problems digesting wheat products and choose a gluten-free diet.[1]
At least here in Germany, where I live at the moment, there is a large selection of products in almost every grocery store available for a a gluten-free diet. One of the more popular brands seems to be Schär from Italy.[2]
Also many brands that sell wheat based products, also offer wheat-free alternatives, like Barilla, the worlds largest producer of pasta.[3]
The people I know that go gluten-free, don‘t really have to limit themselves regarding the food they can eat, as there seem to be gluten-free alternatives available for the most popular wheat-based products.
