Gluten sensitivity is the topic of a paper published recently in the Annals of Internal Medicine in which researchers acknowledged the seriousness of celiac disease, but also said part of the population could have nonceliac gluten sensitivity.

I just read this article in the paper a little while ago. I just don't understand who would be "overusing" a gluten-free diet? I don't like always having to think about what I'm eating or what I'm going to eat next. Life was so much easier (albeit painful) with gluten. If I could eat a chicken pesto pizza from Pi without getting violently ill, I would. I can't imagine anyone being gluten-free just because they think it's trendy, if they didn't have any symptoms.

The overusing part bugs me. I think if a person notices that gluten, or any other food makes them ill or in some way not feel well, it is warranted to leave it out of the diet.

I would think it better to talk about the "over-use" of C-sections or cosmetic surgery, rather than the dietary choices of people who suffer.

      Hello, I was very stick,  with flu like symptoms, but my virus panel came back negative and we couldn’t figure out what’s going on. The doctor then added a celiac panel.  Has anyone ever had such a dramatic change?  What are the odds this is true celiac I am going to have an endoscopy, but it’s expensive and I just feel like why can’t the labs be enough?

      Eating out in general is full of risks, but this article may help:

      This kind of question is always difficult to give a definitive answer to because of so many variables. One such variable is the sensitivity of the individual celiac to small amounts of gluten cross contamination. An amount that causes a reaction in one celiac many not in another, or at least not be discernable which, of course, does not exactly equate to being "safe".

      I don't live in the US, but based on this thread, I wouldn't risk it:   https://www.reddit.com/r/glutenfree/comments/1n2ehw8/cracker_barrel/   This app is helpful: https://www.findmeglutenfree.com/

      I see that Cracker Barrel restaurants have a gluten free menu (not all locations, but one confirmed that they do). I was wondering if it is safe for my 5 year old son with celiac disease?
