Intolerance to various (or singular) food groups comes about because people are designed by nature herself to consume foods with certain definite enzymatic structures.
Allergist specialists (those with the PhD or MD after their name) are very aware that ethnic considerations are important in looking at an individual's likelihood of being intolerant of one or more food situations. People need time for their bodies to relate to changes in their diet. And one researcher has said that to accommodate the changes in genetic modification, the average human being would need to live for the length of 125,000 generations of lifetimes to process what is being done to foods we eat. (Don't have that person's name floating about in my memory base of my brain, but could get it for you if you want.)
For instance, both peoples of African ethnicity, Native American and Scandinavian ethnicity are more likely to be allergic or intolerant of wheat. You can especially see this in African American women that are so heavy set - they are trying to eat a diet that contains wheat, when that grain was not part of their genetic code's diet until they arrived here in the USA some four hundred years ago. (I have often thought if someone would make Oprah aware of this, she might not yoyo in her weight so crazily. When you are sensitive to wheat, even a single pancake can make you bloat up and have water retention. I can go up one dress size just from eating that pancake in the 24 hours after I eat that food - if it is wheat flour.)
And about Scandinavians, The reason: Scandinavians were meat eaters until very recently relative to humankind's history- in some ares of Lappland, seal blubber, whale fish and reindeer are still the main dietary items available.
Now that the enzymatic properties of wheat and other grains are being altered by genetic modification - everyone is at risk. You need to make yourself aware of what Don Huber has been saying. (This researcher was, until retirement, Monsanto's foremost researcher into grains.) Now he is saying that the way the soil is altered and the crops are altered by genetic manipulation and the need for spraying RoundUp that the crops are far more likely to have fusarium and other molds/fungal entities in them.
All of us humans are susceptible to mold. (Okay, there may be .05% of the population that isn't - just like all of us know of or may have heard of one human who wasn't susceptible to other toxins. Great Uncle Harry who lived on vermouth, Jack Daniels and Marlboros, and died at age of 96, etc.)
Anyway I am fairly convinced that most people are seriously affected by wheat. (On edit: Gm wheat and Gm grains of all types.) They are able to purchase Prilosec and other "aids" so they can continue to eat "normally" and somewhat feel alive. But people's bodies cannot withstand what "science" is doing to the food supply. And do any of us want to live inside a world where the animals and insects and birds have all been killed off by these changes? These critters don't have Prilosec available to them.
