Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: combining 'gluten' (the wheat protein) with 'allergy' (an adverse immune reaction) yields an adverse reaction to gluten. This noun–noun compound follows a common medical/lexical pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
The term gluten allergy comes from joining gluten, the protein in wheat and similar grains, and allergy, which means a strong reaction by the body's immune system. So, gluten allergy today means 'a harmful reaction by the body to gluten'.
