We already know that genetic differences can affect how people respond to medicines, to the same likely applies to diets. Maybe high-wheat is good for you, but not others.

Right- that's my premise. But I'd like that to be a testable proposition, not a rationalization. An obvious step is ensuring I don't have a wheat allergy, but that seems incomplete and unsatisfying. I suspect the odds I do are so low it's barely worth checking.
