Why would they be pissed? This fad has probably brought more gluten-free products to the market, which should be good for people who are allergic to it.
I didn't say they were rioting in the streets, but the person I know with celiac has dealt with it since he was a baby. The symptoms are dibilitating, and it's not something you just discover one day and claim to have like so many hipsters and soccer moms are nowadays. It would be akin to someone with a life-threatening peanut allergy sitting across the table from someone else claiming to have the same thing when in reality their farts just smell kinda bad after they eat a snickers.

The only thing negatively impacting celiacs is the over-reaction of some people who, for whatever reason, CARE that other people have decided to be gluten-free or grain-free.
There's a culture of ridiculing "gluten-free" eating for whatever reason. That leads to people who are genuine celiacs being ridiculed.
The upside is that every restaurant in the land has now heard the term "gluten-free", and that should help celiacs. The downside is the people who don't find any benefit of going gluten-free deciding that it is a term worthy of derision.
Do what you want. Let others do what they want. Its not that hard.
