No - but unlike a peanut allergy the average random (and it's usually chicks) can complain that they're tired and lacking energy and that's why they're so useless because of this new found sensitivity to wheat that their holistic super naturopath told them about and now they can't eat anything like that and that's why their 20-30 lbs overweight.
I've heard it about a dozen times from people who were perfectly fine months before and suddenly were enlightened by some Dr. of the herbs that has discovered why their fat and lazy.
As well, with regards to:

You might if you were lazy and needed an excuse for why you're too tired to go to the gym or get some exercise.
It's like the "thyroid problem" of the 80's. Everyone who was fat back then had a thyroid problem.
In the 90's it was because . . . Well I can't think of a good reason for being fat in the 90's maybe it was cooler to be fat.
Now it's because you're a celiac... or a celica, I'm not sure how it's spelt. Celica's were cool in the 90's too. That's probably where the confusion came from.
Disclaimer 2. I'm referring to people who have suddenly out of nowhere decided they have a wheat allergy or are celiacs when they've generally been fine for 99% of their prior lives. They've usually determined this after attempting to lose weight or going to see some crackpot holistic dr. or some combination of both. Generally these people are women who have also at some point been yogi's, failed vegetarians, believe in chiropractors, and read the secret.
If you are a true celiac I feel bad for you as that's got to suck!
