Shockingly, only about 150,000 people have been diagnosed and aware they have it. One of the major reasons that the number of people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity continues to rise is because wheat is not the same today as it used to be. It has been agriculturally hybrid, not genetically lab engineered over some decades to resist fungus, grow more quickly, and be more pliable for industrial bread baking. As a consequence, 50-60 years ago wheat containing only five percent gluten has become 50 percent gluten today.
