2. There has also been a rise in Celiac disease (caused by gluten ingestion),

as measured in blood tests.

And this isn't just because doctors are looking harder for it. There was a study involving blood samples that had been collected decades ago, compared to recent samples given by the same people. Many of the people who produce gluten antibodies now did not produce them decades ago -- something happened in the meantime.
