However, having to live gluten free because of celiac disease is an entirely different story.

Which is why I stated diet fad. Less that 1% of the population has true gluten sensitivity. Most of the people that swear gluten is a problem don't even know what gluten is or what gluten intolerance actually is.

From what i been told is Gluten makes it hard for the stomach to digest foods thats where the problem occur's.

could be wrong could be false. I seen reports and articles that say yes, there can be an issue and no there isnt any and only a certain few actually have it.

I have always had digestion issues since i was really young so this spans over 20 years. I have noticed that my digestion issues are better if i cut out gluten.

Some say its a fad, some say its not, this goes with both people and doctors. If it makes you feel better then **** it. do it.

Yep. If it's good to you it's good for you... (Coming from respect, "I seen" labels you in a certain way. Don't be mad at the truth...)

There have been some recent papers that call into question whether non-celiac gluten sensitivity exists. The papers say that people may be sensitive to the FODMAPs (poorly digested fiber-like carbs) in gluten grains and not the gluten itself. Since the only way to avoid it is to avoid those grains (barley, wheat, rye mainly), it still comes down to the same thing - a gluten free diet.
