Personally I don't agree with the idea that wheat is less digestible because humans have only eaten it for 5000 years. That 5000 years is plenty of time to become accustomed to it. Wheat has been the main and sometimes only food source for entire civilizations!

Under this theory, it'd imply that we've had plenty of time to get accustomed to dairy since we've been eating it for longer than wheat. But, the truth is, we don't have the GI tracts for processing dairy, and I believe the same can be said about wheat.

I believe the idea that humans were meant to eat foods that come readily available and don't have to be processed - mainly fruits and vegetables, nuts, meat, seeds, etc.

Recently I went from wheat/gluten-light to wheat-plenty for an endoscopy. I noticed the difference immediately. I didn't really add "crap" such as cakes, muffins, highly processed sweets but fresh bread and homemade sweets. However, the difference was really noticeable, first came dizziness and headaches, loss of sex-drive , then (within about 3 days) GI problems - bloating, constipation, pain...so once I'm done with testing, I have a strong reason to avoid gluten all together because I clearly see the toll it's taking on my health.
