That’s because the majority of people claiming gluten “allergies” today are full of it. The instance of people with real issues with gluten is much lower than the number of people who report that they think they are sensitive to it. It’s mostly a fad.
I have a family member who has serious gluten reactions. Spent a month in the hospital before they determined the cause.....one sick fellow let me tell you. Lost allot of weight going through that ordeal.
I know a person who is a cook in an Italian restaurant. They offer gluten-free food. He calls the people who order it glutards. The reason is that they will order the gluten-free pasta with the breaded chicken or whatever. As you said, it is a fad that many have latched onto. Yes, there are folks who really cannot handle it, but....
They’re largely a bunch of spoiled brats who have emulated celebrities and want to be catered to like they are celebs.
I tend to agree. What next? No more peanut ads on t.v. lest a picture cause a deadly reaction?
