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?

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.

And a baker doesn't know how to bake gluten free?? Pride yourself on being such idiots to not be able to figure that out...

You can't learn to bake with alternative flours...?

Start a gluten-free line of baked goods. It would be very creative and you'd help other people than your daughter. Having someone in your life with celiac disease isn't the end of the world. You just accommodate a little.

Problems and setbacks usually are the breeding ground for great, wonderful solutions and new ideas. I can see this as a plot in a movie or an Oprah interview. You guys explaining how your daughter's gluten allergy forced you to learn new gluten free baking styles and this resulted in you inventing new gluten free foods. The news got hold of this, and pretty soon baking manufacturers were coming to you, wanting to ink deals for brand named gluten free products, and now you're one of the most sucessful lines in the world. And you both hug your daughter and say this was all borne out of your love for her. The audience coos. Oprah tears up. Lifetime approaches you with a "Lorenzo's Oil" type of movie deal. Wonderful problem (in my imagination)!

Then it should be easy for you to use rice flour instead of wheat flour..

I'm gluten intolerant. I just buy separate stuff and use different stuff in the house to everyone else. No biggey
