I’ve been told that the actually-gluten-afflicted are deeply vexed by this particular problem. Now that every third person is ‘gluten free’ because they are following a fad diet or have some vague theory about something or other, restaurants and the like have (not totally unreasonably) started to cater to that market with ‘gluten free’ products that don’t contain any bulk wheat ingredients or other obvious sources; but wouldn’t necessarily pass an immunoassay. So now they have to play the “no, ‘gluten free’, as in ‘this isn’t my fucking fad diet’ gluten free” game in addition to just finding places that accommodate them.
