Gluten-related disorders are rapidly escalating around the world. The most well-known are linked to sensitivity: celiac disease (CD) and wheat allergy. Many postulate that environmental and dietary factors may play a part. Coincident with the rapid increase of this disorder has been the introduction of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into the US diet since 1996. Animal feeding studies and experience with humans and livestock have linked GMOs with a variety of symptoms and disorders which, when carefully examined, may explain the increase in the incidence of gluten-related disorders since 1996.

GMOs may contribute to gluten-related symptoms by promoting:

• Permeable intestines (“leaky gut”)
• Imbalanced gut bacteria
• Suppressed digestive enzymes
• Damaged microvilli
• Immune system sensitization or disruption
