Gluten allergies are real, don't get me wrong, but if everyone that claims to have them actually did, then there would be a lot more problems with it because most "gluten free" things are contaminated with gluten. That's a whole rant I tend to go on because the movement does harm to people that actually deal with things like celiac.

Yeah, I wasn't including the non-celiac gluten-free crowd in my idea that it seemingly came out of nowhere. I have a brother-in-law who has celiac and we have to make sure to keep a gluten-free counter, and have a box for gluten-free cutting board/pots/etc.

It just barely seemed to be a thing thirty or forty years ago.

Interestingly enough, the two people I know who actually have celiac's? They appreciate the fake gluten allergy people because it caused a market to be made for them where they have a lot more items now available that are okay. Really opened up their food choices.


(Side note: Papa John's cracks me up because they have a "gluten free" crust... and then at the end of the description say it is not recommended for those with celiacs. Lol)
