The only reasons the gluten "sensitive" crowd has ever bothered me is that my brother is Celiac, which is actually pretty serious and can be debilitating if he eats the wrong things, and the lack of understanding that is implemented by those who claim sensitivity.
If you don't want to eat gluten, don't, but at least know what gluten is IN, and don't argue with me when I say "oh that doesn't have gluten" or "be careful, that has gluten" because unlike most people, I have had to read through a boatload of dietary material to make sure that when my brother comes over for dinner, I don't put him in excruciating pain.
But hey, go ahead and say you're gluten sensitive for whatever made up reason you want, just leave your invention out of the conversation when people are discussing celiac and other real illnesses.
