Ah, didn't read the bit in brackets properly, Marc, sorry...

Not everyone who has it has it to the same extent... in the same way that some people can have mild asthma and others have full blown breathing problems around the clock but they all get classed under the same umbrella of illnesses. If people choose to eat it knowing that it can't be made gluten-free then that sounds to me more like a fad dieter than someone with a serious problem. Plus it can develop at any point in your life, you don't necessarily have to have been born with a food intolerance; imagine how hard it would be having to suddenly cut out bread, pasta, cereal... or cheese, milk, yoghurt, chocolate... when before, you'd never had to give that stuff any consideration at all.

At my previous place of work we'd have people requesting gluten free pasta and some of the dishes are prepared in advance in some way so can't be made gluten free. It's very frustrating for customers.
