Celiac disease was first described approximately 2,000 years ago. I believe my book Understanding Microscopic Colitis contains references to substanciate that. There weren't any "meat glues" back in those days.
I'm not saying that "meat glues" can't cause celiac disease, but they certainly weren't the original cause, nor are they the primary cause.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
I agree. A lot of that (probably most of it) is due to improved awareness and more doctors actually looking for celiac disease instead of continuing to ignore it. In the past, a doctor had to practically be hit up aside the head with a 2 x 4 before he even looked for celiac disease. And even if he saw it, he wasn't likely to recognize it.
I was never checked for celiac disease back in 2000, even though I had wall-to-wall diarrhea. It just wasn't on their radar (nor was MC, for that matter).
I think the ballooning popularity of processed foods over the past decades has cooked our goose as we've been fed a steady diet of additives that were never initially tested for safety. I'm pretty sure that anything that promotes leaky gut is likely to promote celiac disease and various other food sensitivities. And these days, there are a lot of preservatives and various other food additives that promote leaky gut.
