No, for people without Celiac’s, NCGS, gluten ataxia or a wheat allergy gluten-free eating is a fad diet [1].

Mouse model study [1]. Intriguing, but far from meriting behaviour changes. Meanwhile, your Huffington Post author cites a largely-discredited glyphosate study [2] in the middle of an anti-GMO rant [3]. (Wikipedia is generally more reliable than the Huffington Post.)

Isn’t the idea that these people have NCGS?

I have no opinion on the gluten-free diet trend.

I believe that the popular opinion by many is that they do not have NCGS. TV personalities like Bourdain drive this heavily by discussing how gf used to not really be a thing in restaurants, but now is quite popular.

The more recent research -- by the people who originally studied NCGS -- is that the earlier studies may have been detecting sensitivity to other things, and that NCGS may not exist at all.
