Today, I found out that I have a gluten allergy. What this basically means is that I can't eat anything with wheat in it; bread, pasta, cake, you name it. I am Italian, this basically limits me from eating any of the awesome food my family makes almost every night. Here I come plain rice. FML

Today, my husband and I found out that our daughter's chronic stomach aches are due to gluten intolerance, so we need to cut all wheat out of our diet. We're bakers. FML

Today, I had a lovely gluten-free pizza out at a local restaurant. After I'd finished, they informed me it wasn't in fact gluten-free. I am Celiac and this means I will be ill for the next six weeks. FML

How could you do this to me?

Today, I learned I'm not allergic to gluten. My mom has kept me on a gluten-free diet since I was 5. She was convinced I was allergic to it. I'm 25 and I am writing this over my first slice of pizza in 20 years. FML

Today, everything I eat makes me sick, so I don't know what to eat anymore now. My BMI is low and I'm absolutely starving. I can't even eat rice. FML

Today, I'm quite ill. My new step-mother believes that the genetic wheat allergy I got from my mother would have gone away since she's now married to my father instead. Looks like dad picked a winner. FML

Today, my mom told me she is serving lasagna and Italian cream cake at my bridal shower. I'm severely lactose intolerant, which I have been telling her for years. She responded by telling me, and I quote, "The food is for the guests." FML

Today, I can only eat gluten-free food because gluten gives me diarrhea. I’m also vegan, so I bought some vegan cheese and salami to have a mess-free sandwich on the bus. As it turns out, vegan salami consists of 6% gluten. FML

There are gluten free flours out there -not at good as the real thing but still work-able. it's awful at first but eventually you learn to adapt and barely even notice the difference.

It's really not that bad. I'm Celiac and have been without wheat for 4 years now. There are pastas, breads, and cakes that are gluten free. I usually eat Udi's bread (the multi grain is delicious) and there are plenty of rice/corn/quinoa pastas that taste delicious. My boyfriend can't even tell the difference with the pastas. Plenty of restaurants offer gluten free options, there are tons of Italian restaurants that offer good tasting gluten free foods. Just do a little research and you will be fine.

it's really nothing to feel sorry about there are so many options now and with raising awareness it's becoming really easy to be gluten free. When ever my family has pasta I simply have them cook my gluten free noodles separately, and it's always the same. Sorry but you life doesn't really suck, just think of it as a way to be healthier! Good luck and there are a ton of resources out there!
