Ya I don't understand why people willingly give up gluten. I sure as hell wouldn't have given it up if I weren't medically diagnosed with celiac disease. It sucks. I have to be super careful and I hate eating out now.
The gluten free fad diet is sort of a double edge sword in my opinion. On the one hand, the increased demand for gluten free products has opened up a lot of food options at grocery stores and restaurants for people like myself. But on the other hand, I encounter a lot of restaurants that don't take celiac disease seriously because it's seen as a fad.
