I personally believe that gluten intolerance can be acquired, and does not require full celiac genetic expression.
I think this is a lifestyle issue. What led me to this opinion was a study from 1999 about blocking Cox-2 in the GI tract lining with NSAIDs... Cox-2 cytokines are valuable there to protect from foreign substances.
The emergence of gluten issues seems to parallel the OTC status of NSAIDs which greatly increased daily use. I suspect just about everyone has had some form of ibuprofen or its cousins by now.
Also the Zonulin channel discovery, may show us what actually opens those channels for many people.
