In defense of the "maybe it's gluten" crowd, my kinda-step-daughter was hospitalized for two months before a family member finally suggested that the doctors check for celiac's.

Some people do, in fact, have a life-threatening reaction to gluten.

Some people have a life-threatening reaction to allium. I have a friend who does.

Neither of those facts are a reason for half the population to become obsessed with cutting gluten and allium out of their diets as a magical cure-all.

Agreed, I just have a certain amount of sympathy for people who are trying it out or recommending it to other people with GI issues that are being ignored by or confusing the hell out of their doctors. I am incredibly sick of the "X FOOD CAUSES DEPRESSION" meme, though.

I'm sick of ANYTIME I SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANY HEALTH PROBLEM WHATSOEVER, about nine people saying "ARE YOU SURE IT ISN'T GLUTEN???"

IT'S PROBABLY GLUTEN

I posted ton FB that I'm finally accepting that I'm allergic to beer, and a million people were all GLUTEN! even though THAT MAKES NO FUCKING SENSE and also it's the hops.

Maybe it's the gluten in the hops.

I can so totally get behind the mass hysteria of the Allium Free Healthy Living FB group! Lol.

The only logical plan of action is to start blaming alliums as the cause of increasingly ridiculous conditions...alliums caused my irritable bowel syndrome....alliums caused my rheumatoid arthritis...alliums caused MY CHILD'S AUTISM.

I have a life-threatening allergy to honeydew melon. That would be a really stupid reason for everyone else on earth to quit eating cucurbits...

Really?

That's the first time I've heard that one. Given my line of work, I've sort of made a hobby out of "collecting" unusual food allergies. It's also the first time I've heard the term "cucurbits".

Some yahoo yelled at me, saying 'GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH', and I thought, "I'm feeling generous today.  Why not BOTH?"

Gluten free brewing actually had it's own board on the homebrew board I used to frequent.

I love the Allium allergy idea.  It's really beautiful.

That's good. It should be segregated and kept in its ghetto and NEVER allowed to intermingle with anything related to actual beer.
