Prevalence of Wheat Allergy In Japanese Adults, Alergology International, 2012

Prevalence Of Gluten-Free Diet Adherence Among Individuals Without Celiac Disease In The USA: Results From The Continuous National Health And Nutrition Examination Survey 2009-2010, Scandinavian Journal of Gastroenterology, August 2013

Conclusions: The estimated national prevalence of non-celiac gluten sensitivity is 0.548%, approximately half that of celiac disease.

From these numbers (celiac disease 0.71%, wheat allergy 0.21%, non-celiac gluten sensitivity 0.55%), it appears that sensitivity to eating wheat is not common. Yet my grocery store just installed almost a whole aisle of gluten-free foods.
