Where are you getting that 1.2% number? This is the only study I've found citing that number, but it is _not_ for the general population, but for atopic (read: hypersensitive) children. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3070118/

I've yet to see any indication that gluten is healthy. I also don't see how "what celiacs want" is relevant to the health discussion.

EDIT: Just as anecdotal evidence, I've literally never met anyone with a soy allergy or intolerance, but know tens of people with celiac disease/intolerances, and at least 10 that are officially diagnosed (myself and mother included).

Minor soy allergy checking in. It's been diagnosed, but is minor enough I don't normally notice and and don't go out of my way to avoid it, other than not drinking soy milk or eating tofu or edamame. I likely wouldn't have made the association if I wasn't tested for all allergies when we were figuring out my much more severe peanut allergy. Perhaps there's a large population of undiagnosed people allergic to soy as well. Anecdotally, I think I've always heard more about soy allergies than gluten until the recent past, though I was kinda already in the allergy community.
