I find this suspicion suspicious. I know that some people are melodramatic about it, but why can't people just have their food without gluten if they don't want it? Nobody ever backlashed against the anti-MSG thing, and that was arguably way dumber.

On the other hand, I have heard that this has resulted in lowering of standards for handling gluten, and people who are severely allergic are being exposed to small amounts, while people without celiac don't notice those small amounts. So, that's bad.

Yes, these lowering standards cause by people not really allergic is a problem.

I have the same problem with my son having multiple allergies (real severe ones) is that the employees think when you say you're allergic that your just being fussy and that just removing something from the top of the dish is OK.

But in any case, it hard to trust restaurants at all on these matters.
