Jimmy Kimmel Skewers Clueless Gluten-free Dieters

You and many others in these reviews are confusing Jimmy Kimmel on whose show this was aired with Jimmy Fallon who is a different comedian!

Agree that there is no need to be so sensitive. It is COMEDY! And funny that so many people without reason nor any knowledge of what it is, go on a gluten-free diet. Just a Fad.

Gluten is the protein gliadin found in grains like wheat, rye, barley. There is still research being done to on oats as it may just be the fact that it is contaminated, so may be okay to have non gluten-free oats but it is still being debated.

Why has no one commented on this yet? Jimmy Kimmel said he was "annoyed" by those with gluten intolerance/medical condition. Why is it acceptable to bash someone for having an illness such as celiac disease or gluten intolerance? No one bashes people for having cancer. Jimmy Kimmel should apologize to the entire celiac community for such an outlandish and nasty comment.

I agree that it was insensitive. I had a server use the same word when I was trying to order a salad without gluten. She actually said to me any salad could be made gluten free, it's just annoying. Granted, she was 17 years old, but I still gave her a tongue lashing! So sorry that my disease annoys you Jimmy. HAVING the disease is what's annoying and people should be kinder. Jokes about it bother me.

I have been gluten-free for 10 years. Jimmy Kimmel is a funny man and his sketch made me laugh. Why have we as a society become so sensitive? Loosen up, laugh at yourself. Don't take things so seriously. We're all in this together!

I don't mind this at all. People who have jumped on the "gluten free" bandwagon because it's the news "diet craze" are making my celiac life so much more difficult. They SHOULD be ridiculed for having no idea what they are doing. At least understand it! When I go into restaurants now, I have to be more specific than ever before, since I encounter so many "gluten free menus." My standard pitch now is "I have celiac disease. I must have gluten free food. This is not a lifestyle choice." The servers are clueless and I have to ask to speak to the manager. Still, I get glutened more often than not. So thanks for making my serious food disability into a dismissible fad. That's. Just. Great. Morons.

I'm dittoing Jacquie's remarks. She captured my sentiments exactly.
