Yeah it's frustrating to see gluten free pushed as healthy to people who don't have celiac disease. It's about 1% of the US population or 3.3 million out of 339 million. Epilepsy affects about 1.1% of the population for comparison. Anecdotally I knew two people with the disease and can see it's frustrating to live with. One person told me how pepper the cheap stuff in restaurants or grocery stores has wheat dust in it to help it flow. A co-worker told me of the frustration his sister had in restaurants with trendy "oh it's gluten free" but it wasn't so off to the hospital she went. He said she was more mad at how everything is labelled as gluten free now but there's no way to really know since it's mainly just a cash grab.
