I’m not saying you’re right or you’re wrong, but I find your candor interesting. My wife started on a gluten and dairy free diet after giving birth to our 2nd child. She has a myriad of conditions including Celiac. I’ll admit when she first told me I was very skeptical, but I have seen what happens to her when she has even a little bit of gluten. It makes her very, very ill. It’s a very real and horrible thing, and I have empathy for those who truly suffer from Celiac. That said, I think there are a lot of folks who just choose to not eat gluten because it’s “a thing.” We were at a lacrosse tournament for our son in Mass this summer. There were about 6 or 7 families staying at the same hotel and a bunch of the parents were hanging around the pool while the kids were swimming and playing. I decided to order some pizzas for the group because we were drinking and no one wanted to drive anywhere. I knew my wife needed a small gluten free with just sauce, meat and veggies. Turns out, only 4 adults out of 13/14 that were there okay with “real” pizza! Everyone else was GF! Was this always the case and folks with celiac or gluten sensitivity just suffered in silence? Is this overblown? I don’t know what to make of this GF phenomenon. 🤷🏾♂️ 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once in a great while it affects where we go out to eat, as in the case of the OP, and when preparing food for guests, we sometimes make a special dish. Regardless of the condition, even if they go GF just because "it's a thing," we choose to respect our friends' and relatives' dietary choices. Unless it's breaded wings. WTF is wrong with those people??? 😉 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
