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.

I know what you are going through. I have had Celiac Disease for 16 years. On top of that I am lactose intolerant and I have UC. I would try Udi's bread. Trust me when I say this, it does get easier.

I know how you feel. I also have celiac disease. It has to be the worst thing in the world, I stick to mostly fruits and vegetables. Meat would be good too as long as its not processed. Make sure everything you buy, you check the food label. It definitely is hard especially when with friends or at parties. But you have to stick to it or it can make it worse because an autoimmune disease attacks things in your body that it usually accepts. An it can damage the villa in your small intestine which can make it hard to digest food. But don't give up

Even if you cut it out of your diet, you can still bake it... Plus, research online and you will find recipes for gluten free foods! Gluten is in more than just wheat. It's in soy sauce, and bunches and bunches of other products you don't even know. This is a serious thing. Research it!! I baked treatises for a friend who is gluten intolerant. I have packaged mixes in my cabinets because there are kids at my kids' schools who are allergic to gluten... Much more common than you'd think! Please research it as much as you can before you do something wrong.... Like feeding your child something you think is gluten free, when it truly isn't!!! I wish you and your family very good luck!!! And - advice: sell some special gluten free stuff in your bakery!! Then advertise it!! You will have more customers!!!! Again, good luck to you.

I am gluten free and there is a wonderful gluten free flour that you can use with any recipe called Domata flour. I get so many complements on my baked foods!!!
