Is gluten intolerance a real medical issue or just an annoying health fad? | The Tylt

Gluten-free is big business—nearly $1 billion annually in a rapidly growing industry.

 Gluten-free might be a healthier diet if you replace your bread with fruits and vegetables, but probably not if you eat the packaged gluten-free products, which cost a lot more.

Jimmy Kimmel's not the only one who's over the gluten-free thing. 

But for people who do have celiac disease, gluten-free foods aren't a fad, they're a necessity. Gluten can be super dangerous for them. Understandably they don't like being lumped in with people skipping gluten "for no reason"—which is the most common reason given when people are asked why they buy gluten-free foods.😑

Ask your server friends what they think about gluten-free patrons they've waited on. Restaurants do a lot of accommodating for people who don't have an actual medical diagnosis...

But if you adopt a gluten-free diet and you feel better? Maybe that's something you need.

Millions of people claim it's helping their health.

If you can't eat gluten, it must suck to have people roll their eyes and treat you like you're just being trendy.
