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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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, 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 found out that I'm not actually allergic to chocolate, when my mom freely admitted to me that she made it up when I was a child because she didn't want to share any cookies with me. FML
Today, my mom baked a cake for the whole family. One spent EpiPen later, I found out there were nuts in it, which I'm severely allergic to. My mom's defense was that she thought I'd have "gotten over" my allergy by now. FML
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 told my mom that I think I'm lactose intolerant, and that I should go to the doctor to get checked out. She said that I was probably just gassy, and then ordered us a pizza for dinner. FML
Today, I went to a niece's birthday party and was very careful with what food I ate, as I have gluten and garlic sensitivity. I left the party with numb lips, so I guess I have a new sensitivity. 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
Today, I turned 18. My parents remembered that I loved German chocolate cake, so I awoke to a hot, fudge-filled chocolate cake with a slice cut out just for me. I've been lactose-intolerant for 8 years. As I cried, my mom handed me tissues, while eating the "Happy" part of my cake. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

She was probably just trying to keep you healthy as gluten isn't really good for you.

Celiac? If so then you aren't "allergic" to gluten but if you eat gluten it corrodes your intestines heightening the risk of cancer. I have never had anything with wheat or gluten in it.

You ENJOY that slice, Emma. You hear me? ENJOY IT.

You do realize that you can still eat pizza if you are gluten intolerant/Celiac/etc, right? You just have to eat gluten free pizza. It's easy to find.

That doesn't mean you aren't gluten intolerant. You'll find that out when the wheat hits you and causes the suffering. Gluten is not easily digestible. It's easier to just avoid it. Plus chains like Mellow Mushroom carry GF pizza. :)

You can still have siliac (alergic to gluten) and it not get sick instantly.. But if you have a whole bunch you can have a huge stomach ache the next day

That's not good...People who aren't gluten intolerant can have serious health problems if they eat gluten-free food, especially for a long period of time. Your mom should have made sure it was healthy before doing that to you.
