There may be a connection with gluten and all of these conditions.  This is speculation but if cutting gluten in these cases makes you feel better then that is a win for sure.

So, should some people go off gluten and wheat?  Yes

Should ALL people get off of gluten and wheat?  No, if you don't have to then don't.  It is high in fiber and loaded with things your body needs.

Here is an article about what getting off gluten for dieting purposes when you don't need to can do to you. Too many people are embracing it as a form of losing weight and that is not healthy.  It is not for everyone and even if it is a fad or a trend it may not be a good one.  Speak with a doctor... don't quit gluten or wheat before you test for any of these sensitivities or allergies or Celiac because you might get a false negative read if you are really sick.  Once you have a diagnosis make sure you follow doctor's instructions and if you have a nutritionist then follow those orders, too.
