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.

Firstly you dont have to cut it from your diet, only your daughters. Secondly even if you do cut it from your diet that doesnt stop you baking it. Lastly try thinking about your daughter instead of yourself for a change

There are baked goods that don't have wheat. Bake it.... really your daughter should be on your mind way before your hobby/job. Whats wrong with you

Don't you mean, you have to cut all wheat out of your daughter's diet? Unless you got gluten intolerance confused with coeliac disease, in which case you'd need a wheat free kitchen at home.

Being a celiac is tough, FHL not yours. Shame on you. You can buy gluten-free stuff at ASDA (or walmart is you are American). I have made celiac free food in school before, and I was freaking 13 years old...if I can do it why can't you?

Just change your bakery to a gluten free bakery. Those are pretty popular now. Plus, some gluten free food is better for you than regular gluten food.

its not that bad of an issue OP. my fiance is allergic to gluten and we both changed our entire diets. for some people it can be difficult in the begining, but after awhile you will notice that there are some gluten free foods that taste better than the "regular" stuff. just sayin, your bakers, you should know you can change the way you bake. this would probably make you better bakers.

Use potato and tapioca starches with grains like quinoa and millet, using xanthan gum to hold it all together.. It's bread-like
