I'd say that's the problem it's trendy to talk about gluten and be on a paleo diet and it turns people off.
It seems a very small percentage of the population has celiac disease or Crohn's from what I can find it's 0.75% and 0.1% respectively of the general population of various countries that track it. Although I do realize you don't have to be born with either disease you they can develop either or both later in life and sometimes not even show symptoms.
