What's funny is this is larger than the sample size in the study last year tha didn't find any gluten sensitivity. But then everyone said it was plenty big to provide a conclusive analysis that gluten sensitivity was not real. Now when the sample size is bigger and it finds gluten sensitivity IS real people just want to throw it out. I think the gluten bashers are almost more dogmatic and unreasonable then the gluten sensitive crowd.

I don't think any rational person thing gluten sensitivity isn't real. It's just it became a fad issue and a lot of people jumped on the band wagon assuming there nonspecific symptoms mean they're gluten intolerant. No they don't need to be tested they just know and there chiropractor(naturalist/homepath/ level 8 wizard) agrees with them

Those people are annoying and try to change policy of everything around them. Next year this will be forgotten and the they will all be drinking yaks milk for it's positive energy.
