The response your body has to gluten, like many things, is going to be highly dependent on a combination of your gut flora and genetics. And while your genetics won't change over time, your gut flora will. There is this strange myth that exists in nutrition that food is somehow "designed" for the human body and that there are absolute answers as to what is good for you and what is bad for you. The gluten-free movement of sorts is just another step in a long running misunderstanding of how food is processed by the human body. The result of which is always, "<food> is not good for you, this study proves it!" The reality is much more personal. It's possible that the rise in gluten sensitivity has more to do with changing gut flora than anything else. That may be a result of long term gluten consumption, too much gluten consumption or something else completely unrelated.
