I never heard people self-diagnosing as coeliac, that would be ridiculous - diagnosis for that requires both a positive blood test for the antibodies and then a gastroscopy/biopsy. The 'trendy' crowd tended to be self-professed as "gluten intolerant" or "gluten sensitive".

Given the rarity of celiac disease, the amount of shelf space dedicated to gluten free products suggest a lot of self diagnosis.

Well, I'm grateful for that. As is my wife, who is Celiac.

And some gluten free things are pretty good (I'll generally take a gf brownie, cornbread, or carrot cake over the alternative).

But since when is accessibility a bad thing? Are people really troubled by there being options?
