Crikey!, nine months. Sounds like it was a close shave KP.
You must have had the CeD condition rather then NCGS, it's an autoimmune condition triggered by gluten in genetically susceptible individuals like yourself, people with the HLA-DQ2 and/or HLA-DQ8 genes. About 0.7% of populations from European decendants, about 0.27% Asian thus the lower rates of CeD in Asia.
No-one grows any GM wheat. Not Oz, not US, not anyone except for a handful of scientists doing R&D, Monsanto stopped doing GM wheat research in early 2000's. The wheat the world grows is hexaploid strain, 42 chromosomes and was here about 10,000 years ago, widely eaten from about 6-8000 years ago.
Modern breeding and hybridization has made them yield better etc but has also increased the gluten content from about 8-10% to 10-12% and has also altered the gliadin/gluteniin ratios and has increased the proportion of gluten proteins with immunogenic epitopes which some people speculate that these immuno epitopes is/are potentially linked to higher CeD and NCGS rates, however it's only speculation.
To fact check my findings open your twitter app and ask GROK to give you an Overview of gluten-related disorders and also ask GROK if the wheat thats grown and exported round the world is GM and GROK will give you a good run down of it all, i just gave you the brief points.
GROK and this Ai is a real time saver and it's becoming more accurate everyday, a massive time saver too but one does have to ask the right questions to get the right answers sometimes.
You have good friends to consider your diet, i'd send you the 'BYO food and Drink' text to eliminate any risk of me accidently poisoning you. LOL
