The Anti-Gluten-Free Trend is Laden with the Same Ignorance It Mocks.

https://www.health.harvard.edu/staying-healthy/getting-out-the-gluten • Until recently, celiac was UNDER-diagnosed. • With greater awareness the trend has caused, people with symptoms have reached out to their doctors, and tested positive. • Many such "on-trend" people found out their IBS was misdiagnosed, to the point that it is now required to rule out celiac before diagnosing IBS. • You can have a gluten-intolerance without celiac. Much in the same way that many people are not allergic to milk, but have lactose-intolerance, and we don't smugly ask "do you have a milk allergy" if they order substitutions, and then dismiss them as stupidly following a trend if they don't SPECIFICALLY have a milk allergy. • When people notice they have digestive issues common of lactose-intolerance, we don't judge them for self-diagnosing a lactose issue, but if someone experiences a similar situation with wheat, we stand ready to mock them, behind their back or otherwise.
