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

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
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.

I know the feeling...my dad learned he was gluten intolerant about 4 years ago, and I recently learned I had it too. But the fact that you and your husband are bakers is a good thing, not a hindrance! Find some good, gluten free flour mixes, and make her own bread! It'll be much better than the store bought stuff(:

it's celiac disease. I have it and my parents are chefs. it's hard at first but it gets better trust me. it's not that bad

They change their diet too because if she keeps eating gluten it can make her very sick and possibly give her cancer and you wouldnt want to risk that but there is a high demand for gluten free bakers so if you pull it off you can make some money

As many have mentioned, why must you cut gluten out of your diet. It seems to me that babying her will cause her to believe everyone should not eat gluten because of her problem, why not treat her normal and just make her something else. Duh. And yes contributing to your customers by making gluten free bread is great, so glad your daughter could be such an eye opener for you. Thus is not an FML.

1: I agree... I work for bakers who do a full lie of gluten free products and they have a tiny small town bakery:/ so I don't see how this is bad other than gluten free products are little more costly:/

Just cut wheat out of HER diet! Why should you have to stop eating it?

I have gluten intolerance and I've eaten gf for about 2 years now. It's tastes AH-MAZE-ING. She's going to feel wwaaayyyy better when she gets the diet. And she'll be able to tell if the foods she's eating after she's gotten used to the gf diet have gluten in it.

Offer gluten free products at your bakery. I feel sorry for your daughter, you're obviously pretty dim
