What Has Happened to Wheat?
Wheat varieties have been bred and, in some cases, genetically modified to resist pests and environmental stress in order to feed a growing population. That has increased production, but it has also altered the gluten’s structure in comparison to wheat grown a century ago. This “new” gluten may be harder to digest for some people and more likely to trigger an allergic reaction. The way we consume it is the final factor. In the past, most homes used whole wheat flour that was high in nutrients, bran, and fiber. Refined flour is now prevalent everywhere. The majority of processed foods contain it, including biscuits, breads, snacks, and sweets. Fiber is removed from this flour, making it less nutritious and more difficult to digest. This can make the body more sensitive and irritated over time, which may make allergic reactions more likely. The frequency with which we consume wheat is just as important as the ingredients it contains. With refined flour turning up in packaged foods, snacks, and even fast foods, our bodies are getting far more gluten than they used to, often in forms that aren’t balanced with other nutrients.
Final Takeaway
Gluten-related allergies aren’t just about gluten itself, they’re about how our wheat has changed and how we process and eat it. Reduce your risk by choosing less refined flour, eating more whole grains, and eating a variety of foods. Dr. Gurmeet Bhalla talks more about how these changes are linked to rising gluten allergies and what you can do to manage them in Episode 9 of The Orange Club Podcast – Are we becoming Allergic?
