> when gluten was removed from her diet her allergies cleared up within a month. If I was your friend and noticed this change I would also go gluten-free immediately, but I think this sentence really highlights the central problem with the gluten-free fad: This is completely anecdotal evidence and I would be embarrassed to tell everyone "hey I'm gluten free and it works!" just because of a month of lower symptoms that could probably be explained by twenty other things that happened that month. Call me back after she's spent two years randomizing month-to-month plus/minus gluten and tracking her daily symptoms in a log book, then her opinion about the benefits of being gluten free might be interesting to others.
