It both is and isn't.

For people with Celiac's it's 100% legit ... but the companies that make the gluten-free products want to be able to sell to more than just Celiac's patients, so they pretend like gluten-free is healthier for everyone ... which is a scam.

Do you suppose celiacs were buying wheat products before it became a trade-term?

Yes.

My sister has Celiac's, and she had several symptoms from it but had no idea what the cause was. When she finally discovered she had Celiac's (and could avoid those symptoms by avoiding gluten) it was a great relief for her.

As opposed to eating products with wheat gluten in them, yes.

It's the same as how people who are allergic to peanuts are helped when they don't to eat products with peanuts in them. It's really not a hard concept to grasp.

I remember when I first saw the words gluten at whole foods and was like, oh is this the new carb?

It was!
