Yes: Although some people may have gluten intolerance, the % is very small compared to the number of people who claim to have the problem. This reminds me of the candida infection fad a few years back- you hardly hear of it any more. Anyone who suspects gluten intolerance should get the appropriate blood test or even biopsy to document it - since total avoidance of gluten is no fun.
