Don't lump all the "me too" gluten-free'ers together. Yes, some are glomming on to a fad, but just because you are not a cileac dosen't mean you're silly for going gluten-free (GF). Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) -- a common functional gastrointestinal disorder (FGID) affecting one in seven -- has been shown to be exacerbated by FODMAPs[1][2] in wheat. It's easy to avoid FODMAPs by going GF and thus suffer less from IBS. A lot of IBS suffers are just not explaining that they are avoiding FODMAPs by going GF. ---- [1]: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP [2]: http://www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/ http://www.med.monash.edu/cecs/gastro/fodmap/
