My wife and I eat mostly gluten free because we believe that modern wheat (which is really a different food now) causes inflammation in some people. I spend zero time trying to get anyone else to go gluten free, because except for my family I don't much care what other people eat.
My family has done the same thing, mostly, and for the same reasons. We are not zealots about it, though, and we don't go crazy when eating out trying to avoid every last grain of flour that might be used to prepare foods.
As others have pointed out, the "fad" nature of GF means that many restaurants list "gluten free" options while not necessarily realizing that for celiacs, "gluten free" generally has to mean "not prepared anywhere near food that may contain gluten."
