However, the gluten-free fad diet was actually incredibly beneficial for sufferers of celiac desease because it made gluten-free products so mainstream and really expanded what pre-made foods and snacks they can buy in stores.
True, although I met a girl with celiac early in the gluten-free fad who claimed that she couldn’t trust a lot of restaurants’ gluten-free options because a lot of them weren’t actually gluten-free. Restaurants were just chasing a trend that they didn’t fully understand. Things are much better now, but I think early on a lot of restaurants were treating gluten-free like the Atkins or Paleo diet, not an allergy.
Sometimes, I have a friend with celiac who often sees “gluten free°” on menus to look down at the bottom of the menu and see “°not for people with gluten sensitivities”
He calls it “Becky gluten free” because Becky doesn’t know what gluten is but she doesn’t want it in her body.
