Gluten makes some people sick, therefore avoiding gluten is healthy. QED. With all due sympathy to the true sufferers, yes, gluten-free as is runs wild in the general culture is a fad.
There are a lot people with mild to severe gluten intolerance, and for them this is a godsend. However, many others follow along for no reason at all. I like to say that the ignorant ones live a “glutenfrei” life. Though I’m sure the genuine ones are grateful for how much the price drops as demand increases.

I think I’m allergic to gluten-free.

I wonder what the next food fad will be? Taste-free?

Yep, there are true gluten intolerant folks, but most health issues are likely glutton induced, Dr Oz followers included
