    I honestly don't understand those who go gluten free without any medical need to do so. Gluten is in flipping everything, it's a total nightmare to avoid and as above, using GF products is hideously expensive. If you're not intolerant there's really no need to do it.

    A friend of mine is on an elimination diet for IBS, and has to restrict gluten because of it. She says the same thing..she would never choose that lifestyle on purpose and doesn't understand people who do. She hates it.
    Same here, except I love it because I feel about 100% better.

    It's a fad.

    Sweeping generalizations don't help. It's only a fad if you are eating gluten free for no reason, such as celiac disease or you have been prescribed to eat this way by your GI.

    The OP specially said for weight loss...in that regard it's a fad that many gravitate to...tons of people doing gluten free for absolutely no reason.
