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.

Gluten intolerance isn't do bad. It's way healthier and will be a great lifestyle change for you too. The fact that you're bakers will make it much more affordable if you bake your own food too! It's a blessing in disguise

Sadly, you cased your daughters intolerance. There are tons of healthy and yummy things out there for her to eat. Try searching "Emril's gluten free pizza dough" or something. And if you own a bakery? Great! You can make lots of cash if you sell gluten free breads/deserts! Best of luck to you all.

Celiacs disease is just coming out to the mainstream. My wife has it and since switching to her new diet, I have lost 35 lbs!!

I got diagnosed with celiac a couple months ago and even though it sucks at first there are really a lot of good gluten free foods. This could give you a chance to start making gluten free food for your bakery or whatever which will hugely attract other people who are intolerant to gluten.

umm I have celiac and it's actually very way to bake gf Living Without magazine has some amazing stuff and it doesn't taste like cardboard at all, I'm a baker too btw, udi's bread is fantastic and actually tastes good just toast it and captain crunch is still good for her as well, cook book called you won't believe it gluten free has some of the best pancakes I've ever had, but with baking stay away from potato starch and flour it's gummy I prefer corn starch it's light and fluffy and living without has the featherlight flour which makes a cake so normal you seriously can't tell the difference my friends never knew

Instead of feeling bad for yourselves, you should be thinking about your daughter, after all she's the one who has to go on the life-long diet.
