I would also like to add that almost anyone I know that has dietary restrictions, whether self-imposed or from a medical condition, who has come to a food-centered event has either brought their own acceptable dishes, or politely declined to eat anything that doesn't meet those conditions without any whining or scene-making.
Do people in here really have vegans showing up to their BBQs going "What? no vegan burgers? What are you, some kind of dick?!" Or is it just you going around offering pie and someone says "no thank you, I don't eat gluten" and for some reason that ticks you off?

Uhh why is it anymore or less likely than a nut or lactose condition? or basically any food allergy (shellfish, chocolate, etcc)? 1/100 people have Celiac's. 1/150 have Crohn's or colitis. That's not some crazy low amount of people.
In fact, I know double the amount of people with legitimate gluten issues, and even moreso with lactose issues, than I do with nut issues.
