    My neighbour has celiac disease and he’s very grateful to the trendsetters - the previously tiny selection of gluten-free products has ballooned. There’s even a fish and chip shop that does a gluten-free day each week when they change the frying oil.

      Several years ago I watched an interview on tv, bud has Celiac and is annoyed at all the people going anti-gluten. At the time I was thinking this guy is an idiot. The bigger a trend gets, the more options there are.

        I’ve heard some people have issues with it because they actually can’t have it, but the people doing it because it’s trendy are a lot more numerous and sometimes people assume they’re the same, and they can have a little. Basically, it makes them have to be a lot more cautious. Sure, they have more options, but a lot of those options may not actually be safe.
