What is it with all the gluten-free stuff nowadays? Is there sudden uptick in gluten-allergies

I've noticed that--wheat allergies, lactose intolerance, peanut allergies...And it occurred to me that these may be related to the fact that close to 75 percent of products on grocery store shelves now contain at least one genetically modified ingredient. It's possible that the body sees the foreign proteins in genetically modified foods as "invaders," triggering an inflammatory attack that manifests as an allergic reaction. All of those people are not just imagining their allergies. Who would voluntarily create that kind of complication in their lives?
