Frankly, it's annoying. If you're gluten free, that's fine with me. Save your breath, though. I don't need to hear about it at dinner. I don't want my dinner companion talking to me about it, and I don't want to overhear the four 30 year old women at the table behind me go on and on about "LIKE... Since I stopped eating gluten, my like, body, is like, sooooo much healthier!!"
I'll extend that a bit. Anything to do with health just drives me up the wall when it's brought up as legitimate conversation.

Oh you just ran a 1/4 marathon in preparation of a hopefully full marathon at a later date?

You've completely cut X out of your diet and that's why your ordering salad while everyone else is ordering wings on F-ing wing night?

You're tired and it's important for us to know that you would have been fine if it was just work, but you're deadest on doing a morning work out no matter how tired you are?

Really, it's all garbage to me. I know certain amounts of conversation are going to naturally be about "me", but all the health/excersize related talk just adds no value to a conversation. It's like negative value. Like the other person is standing there thinking "okay ****ing great, shut up already and let's talk about something funny or at least semi-interesting".
