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

Thanksgiving
Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
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.

As the above comments, there is other stuff you can bake with.

Just because you make it doesn't mean that she has to eat it

No worries. Kids are resilient. Her body will adjust to the wheat. I guarantee.

I guarantee that you're not a doctor.

Or she'll develop bowel cancer. No worries. Idiot.

Flyingfox, you are a complete fucktard. If she has celiac's disease she will not "adjust" to wheat. Her body is missing proteins to digest wheat products so it is impossible to "adjust"

you are a ******* idiot! I know of many adults that suffer from celiac!

I guarantee you should rethink giving medical advice until you acquire an IQ of at least 75.

My best friend has celiac disease. There is absolutley NO WAY to ADJUST to celiac. She once ate something she didn't know had gluten in it and she was sick for a whole week. So go ahead. If you find someone you know with celiac and they listen to what you say, they WILL end up in the hospital. SO SHUT THE HELL UP.

I happen to have a gluten intolerance, and the food isn't bad at all. And I also am lactose intolerant. So check into vegan recipes that are gluten free.

Gluten AND lactose intolerant? Shopping and eating out must be so hard.

26- I feel your pain! I'm in the exact same boat as you are. And yes, grocery shopping is a pain. My gluten intolerance isn't nearly as bad as my lactose intolerance, though. Which really sucks because it all tastes sooo good! :(

A lot of times if you are gluten intolerant for a while you can be lactose intolerant because of your damaged villi in your small intestine but as your stomach heals sometimes you stop being lactose intolerant. Not always, but sometimes......

Ahh the things parents do (and don't do) for their kids :)

How does your daughters inability to consume gluten affect your ability to continue your business as bakers?
