gluten and dairy intolerance: fad or legit?

[Guest guest]

I have been hearing from more and more people in the general public, potential

clients, etc., that they are gluten intolerant. I also have a chiropractor

friend who raves about how bad gluten and dairy are (for everybody, not just

those with sensitivities) but has yet to show me the research or data she refers

to.

I'm not sure I'm up to date on where all this is coming from. My questions are:

1. Are you hearing/seeing the same thing?

2. Is there any legitimate research or data that supports this, or is it just a

new fad?

3. How are you replying and responding to these types of statements and

assumptions and generalizations by your clients/patients?

Thanks in advance!
