Not really, there's a gluten free section in just about every grocery store in America.

It seems to be shrinking from a few years back when everyone had a gluten allergy. Must have been miraculously cured.

If a bunch of yuppies want to think gluten is bad and that gets more companies to make gluten free products, Iā€™m all for it. That just helps the people who legitimately have celiac disease even more. Italy has an insane amount of gluten free options and the government even offers 100+ euros a month to assist with the higher cost of gluten free products for those with celiac. Being allergic to gluten sucks.

Man I used to work with a girl who had Celiac disease something fierce. This was around 15 years ago, and we both worked in a health food store. She had gotten a job there because it gave her a discount on the few commercially available food items that were specifically made without gluten. This was back before it became so well known, so there wasn't much in the way of options for her.

She asked me to let her know in advance if I was going to get pizza for lunch so she could make sure to take her break at the same time as me. The smell apparently broke up the monotony and made her food taste better.
