The reason for gluten intolerance:

  • In making white flour they remove all the nutrients from the wheat.
    ** That is why you buy "enriched" white flour. Because people started falling down after they began to make white flour in mass production mills.
  • Gluten is sweet, thus they add extra to that white flour bread.
  • Bread used to be made over 24 hours. Now they make it in under 3. 24 hours allowed the yeast time to break down the glutens.
Sort:  

Also, the newer hybrid wheats that are being grown now have a lot more gluten in them than the older wheat varieties. Spelt, which is a very old wheat like grain, has very little gluten in it. It doesn't rise very well with yeast because of that, but it is a good substitute for modern wheat for those who are mildly gluten intolerant.
