Villi normally allow nutrients from food to be absorbed through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream. Without healthy villi, a person becomes malnourished, no matter how much food one eats. I am I Red Seal Chef. To me some of the outlandish people saying Its just "Fad" is ridiculous. Their the same people that I assume that go out and buy all the crap processed foods that have all the same chemicals in plastic.
Most people are full of #### when they say they are as only 15% not just the %1. Of the North American population actually suffers from the disease.

My issue is not with Celiac's, it's with the pretenders. I've found almost 17-20% of people want gluten free diets, yet Celiacs are 1 in 200 of the population... that just doesn't add up. It's absolutely a fad. You're a chef, so you know we saw the same nonsense with saturated fat nazi's before that got debunked
On the Mustard thing, yeah some gourmet type mustards are going to be mixed with something that contains gluten, like beer, but a regular store bought yellow squeeze mustard isn't.
