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 found out I have celiac disease. I also happen to be a baker and will be constantly reminded of all the wheat products I can no longer enjoy. FML
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, 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, 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, we live in a tiny trailer. My doctor said I have celiac disease. My dad, who takes things too literally, came back with gluten-free dog food. I don’t even have a dog. 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
Today, after extensive tests due to pregnancy-related issues, I've been told my diet must change. I can no longer eat salt, sugar, gluten, or meat, and lactose is questionable. The doctor hopes it will end after the birth. Seven months to go. FML
Today, my grandmother is shocked that literally all of her kids and grandkids have mental handicaps. She won't admit it's because her and my grandfather are first cousins, and is claiming instead it's, "because of gluten." FML
Today, I'm taking care of my 12-year-old daughter because my ex-wife thought she could cure our daughter's lactose intolerance by sneaking milk into her soy breakfast. The milk had expired. FML
Today, my two favorite things in the world are Pizza and Beer... I now discover I have Celiac and can't have either. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Why do you have to cut it out of all of your diets, instead of just your daughter's? Also, it's possible to bake gluten-free food.

It is possible to have gluten-free flour, I believe. You could even specialize in making bread for those who have intolerance of gluten.

That's got to suck for her as much as yourselves. Sorry to hear that.

My 17 year old niece just found out she is allergic to that stuff too...and brewers yeast and bakers yeast at the top of the allergy list...along with a whole list of several other foods...and eggs. that pretty much leaves gluten free soft tortilla shells for "bread"...gluten free still contains yeast.

Uh, not being funny but I used to be a baker and I hardly ever included anything like that in my diet. If anything working with the stuff put me off more than anything else. As wonderful as bakery goods are they are also one of the most unhealthy food types in existence. Anyone who is gluten intolerant or have celiacs have more chance of living a long healthy life than anyone else.

You're bakers, so what? Do you eat that shit all day and nothing else? Come on. A gluten free diet is easier to maintain than you would think. I work in a Mexican chain restaurant that serves cheap food and the majority of our menu is gluten free. It's not like having a gluten free diet means you have to narrow your food choices down to a few things... Also it's not even hard living with people with extremely different diets. I'm a vegetarian, my mom is diabetic and eats low carb, my sister eats pretty much only meat, and my dad's a bodybuilder with a special diet, yet we all somehow live together and eat together and it's EASY. Seriously suck it up and get creative. Sorry for the TL;DR hahaha.

This may sound stupid and I dont want to get your hopes up ... but, since it would affect you so severly, make sure she really really has celiacs. Reason I say this is because my gf was diagnosed and lived glutenfree for 2 years. after that, a routine checkup revealed she actually suffered from smth

(followup to #183 since post was truncated) ... so, she suffered from smth different, with similar symptoms as celiacs, but not related to gluten at all. So, have your daughter checked completely before you change your lifestyle. Routine celiac diagnoses are actually not 100% accurate as we found out the hard way. On the other side, if she does have celiac's, do know that you can live quite well with it, my gf and I did it for 2 years and once you've adapted, it's not such a big deal.

That does suck. I hope you get to find a good outcome for your problem. Maybe become a gluten-free bakery, like the others have suggested?
