44. It's easy to say these are mostly made up when you don't experience them
What if they aren't becoming "trendy and cool" but ACTUALLY more prevalent?

We live in an extremely toxic world right now. A lot of foods we eat are toxic, no one knows if GMO is even safe. Pesticides on our food, chemicals in meat..dead pasteurized bottle formula for babies with corn syrup and soy claiming its like breast milk. The list goes on and on.. Antibiotics are given out like candy that destroy gut flora which, for example, makes gluten A LOT harder to digest. Theres a reason probiotics are popular and a reason why gluten free is popular and it isn't because it's cool or neat. Increasingly people are seeing problems when they eat it whereas before they just blamed it on their genetics (mostly because doctors ignorantly told them thats what it was because they had no clue). People with arthritic symptoms and other issues are finding relief without gluten. Wheat is a neolithic food and a lot of people have not evolved to handle it (especially after courses of antibiotics that leave your gut weak). It's also mostly GMO.

The increasingly toxic environment and society can easily be responsible for any or all of those. It is extremely ignorant and insensitive to claim people are making them up. Not only that, but people might not get help or change their diet because they might just reaffirm to themselves that its probably made up and not real since only a small amount of people are supposed to "really" have them.

Oh, by the way...cancer rates and diabetes have DOUBLED in the last 10 years.

Are they making it up too..are cancer and diabetes real diseases that are becoming trendy and cool? Hmm...
